"The platforms provides features to publish projects, trade shares in the projects and pay dividends."

Is running an unregulated "stock market" legal in the U.S. (or whatever country this site is based in)? Is buying and selling shares on such a market legal in the U.S.?

There was something like this a while back that was shut down: https://btct.co/

Maybe this is not based in the US though, judging from the British flag on the language selection.

Well, you can always use a decentralized stock market, like Nxt has;

http://nxt.org

You can see some asset charts on http://www.cryptoassetcharts.info

or http://nextblocks.info

Can't be shut down.
