Stories like this are offset by positive news in other regions. For example:
- Germany just excluded small purchases with cryptocurrency from capital gains.
- The heads of the CFTC and SEC recently testified to Congress, both with a very positive view on cryptocurrency (though the SEC intends to crack down on ICOs).
- People worried about a shutdown in South Korea but instead they're just moving to better-regulated exchanges.
- Japan has officially recognized cryptocurrencies as valid payment methods.
- Switzerland just released official guidelines for ICOs.
