Cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex has abruptly canceled its token sale for K.im, Kim Dotcom’s Bitcoin (BTC) content sharing service. In a blog post on Nov. 5, executives said they had agreed not to go ahead with the sale, an initial exchange offering (IEO) which had a planned fundraising goal of $8 million.
The reason, they claimed, was the changing face of regulatory scrutiny over such tokens, which posed potential difficulties for both issuers and investors.
