The press release published by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority has revealed that the regulator has initiated enforcement proceedings against Envion AG.
Finma states that it has “evidence that the company may have breached financial market law in relation to an ICO.” The press release states that the proceedings will focus “in particular on possible breaches of banking law resulting from the potentially unauthorized acceptance of public deposits in connection with the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) for the EVN token.”
“Investigations carried out by FINMA to date indicate that, in the context of its ICO, Envion AG accepted funds amounting to approximately one hundred million francs [approximately $100.6 million USD] from more than 30,000 investors in return for issuing EVN tokens in a bond-like form,” the release continues.
