北美证券办理协会已查询200多项加密钱银诈骗
早在本年5月,北美证券办理协会(NASAA)组织了来自美国和加拿大等40个辖区的国家和州级证券监管组织,针对潜在诈骗加密钱银出资联合展开了一项名为“OperationCryptosweep”的查询举动,这是近期对可疑加密钱银出资产品最大规划的一次冲击举动。
本周二,NASAA在新闻稿中宣告,OperationCryptosweep已发动200多项查询,并在曩昔几个月展开了47项法律举动。迄今为止,NASAA发现的违规行为包含证券诈骗,以及在向出资者发布前未成功注册产品等。NASAA已于本年早些时候向出资者发布了关于加密钱银和ICO相关危险的正告,并称将会集查询可疑的ICO事例。
NASAA主席兼阿拉巴马证券委员会主任JosephBorg发布声明表明,这些监管组织“正在投入很多资源,以维护出资者免从诈骗性ICO和加密钱银相关出资产品中遭到财政危害,并提高职业参加者对各自监管职责的知道”。此外,Borg还提示出资者在购买任何代币之前都应自行研讨,并指出出资者应警觉任何“无需进行证券注册,但不问询出资者收入、净值或出资成熟度”的ICO产品。
NASAA成立于1919年,协会成员包含来自美国、墨西哥和加拿大的国家和州级证券监管人员。经过这个协会,国家证券监管组织能够协谐和参加“多国法律举动”并同享信息。
