She added that there could be regulatory barriers for platforms seeking to list IEO tokens for a fee as they’ll probably be engaging in the broker-dealer activity. She stressed that they might face troubles in the United States if they lack registration.
In addition to this, Germany is about to come up with blockchain bond regulations enabling bonds to be issued as crypto tokens on a blockchain. That’s what local daily business news outlet Handelsblatt has recently uncovered.
