Upon taking office in May, South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol vowed to zero tax crypto trading gains not exceeding 50 million won, approximately $40,000 similar to stock gains, according to Nikkei.

No news is good news, they say. It sounds hard to believe in the crypto-industry, but Justin Sun might be feeling that way after an investigation by The Verge alleged that the Tron founder tried to violate international laws and did insider trading.

A criminal case involving an initial coin offering (ICO) which was backed by investments and assets that allegedly don't exist could have a major impact on the entire ICO space. According to Bloomberg, a federal judge has ruled that U.S. securities laws could cover initial coin offerings. Prior to this point, the question of regulation of the contested ICO landscape has been a difficult one to answer. Now, the government may have just gained crucial authority to regulate a space with billions of dollars in cryptocurrency offerings.

As the digital currency market starts to creep back following a major decline earlier this year, one long-time banker suggests that 2017's high-flying run may repeat itself. Oki Matsumoto, CEO of Japanese financial services company Monex Group Inc., spoke at the Japan Society in New York on Tuesday, indicating that despite a pushback from global regulators, cryptocurrencies could take off in the same manner that derivatives did 38 years ago when they were equally disliked by regulators. The finance executive started his career in derivatives at Solomon Brothers in 1987. The entrepreneur then spent 12 years at Goldman Sachs, where he was responsible for starting the investment bank's yen-denmonated fixed-income trading desk. (See also: Already More ICOs in 2018 Than All of 2017: $6.3B.)

ICOs, or initial coin offerings, are now old news. Just months ago, the novelty of crowdfunding via the blockchain and a booming cryptocurrency market was enough to attract new investors, but things have changed. Previously, startups with little to offer the marketplace but a decentralized spin on an old concept could generate millions of dollars in minutes, but investors are now intensifying their scrutiny. Their motivation used to be quick profit, though as markets wise up to new trends, they must invest (and not speculate) based on merit.

Traditional funding in the crypto space was once considered useless. After all, the industry itself offers different, controversial, but nonetheless, ways to fund a project – initial coin offering (ICO), initial exchange offering (IEO) and the current darlings of offerings – launchpads and initial decentralized exchange (DEX) offerings.
