On Monday, crypto assets tumbled due to the fact that the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development drew attention to the necessity of the global regulation of initial coin offerings.
Considering their cross-border appeal, the OECD urged global watchdogs to demonstrate regulatory clarity and come up with a solid supervisory framework for ICOs just to make them safer for financing purposes.
The organization emphasized that ICOs are risky by nature and it equires a globally standardized set of measures to withstand money laundering as well as other criminal activities.
As a matter of fact, on the Investing.com Index, Bitcoin headed south by 1.22% ending up with $3,550.6.
