All Five SEC Commissioners, Atlanta Town Hall

In the presence of all the commissioners of the SEC, Abraham Xiong of the Blockchain Chamber of Commerce, who says “there is not a lot of clear guidance” on blockchain technology from the SEC, and asks for an “official position” from the commissioners. Chairman Jay Clayton insists that “we have had very clear rules on how to conduct fundraising” and that “most of what I’ve seen in the ICO space is a securities offering. It is raising money for a project where I give you my money, you give me some type of write-back that reflects a return on your project. That’s a securities offering. And I don’t know how much more clear I can be about it.” This was one day before Hinman’s speech.
