China is banning ICOs but Canada is promoting them. Go make your ICO to Canada!
As China moves to ban initial coin offerings (ICOs), a regulator on the other side of the world is taking the polar opposite approach.

In fact, the AMF has not only determined that a token sale by Impak Finance, a platform for investing in socially responsible enterprises, is a security, it has gone so far as to accept the company into its regulatory sandbox.
