The hype around ICOs or initial coin offerings has reached fever
pitch in the US, with celebs like Paris Hilton endorsing new digital
currencies and mainstream outlets such as CNBC offering viewers advice

the bold move of banning ICOs all together.

instead of conventional share sales. These have led to some pretty
outlandish valuations. Just over a week ago, we saw the first
billion-dollar valuations for post-ICO firms.
