EOS shows resilliance as Block.one fined $24 million by SEC

Block.one, the company behind EOS ecosystem reached an agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with a year-long ERC-20 tokens sale .  The company agreed to pay a fine in the amount of $24 million, though it neither admitted or denied the SEC’s charges.

The financial regulator pointed out that EOS token sale lasted nearly one year after the publication of The DAO collapse report. Meanwhile, the company did neither register its initial price offering (ICO) as a security offering as required by Federal law nor applied for a waiver.

“We are excited to resolve these discussions with the SEC and are committed to ongoing collaboration with regulators and policy makers as the world continues to develop more clarity around compliance frameworks for digital assets,” the company said in the press-release.

Meanwhile, Block.one explains that the charges relate specifically to the ERC-20 token, which is no longer in circulation.
