The Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States (SEC) initiated the full-scale check of crypto-currency companies. An unnamed source told the Wall Street Journal that the regulator issued dozens of agendas and requests for information provided to consulting and technology companies operating in the US crypto-currency market.
Most of all, the regulator's concern is not caused by the trade in crypto-currencies itself, but by the unregulated ICO-space, the companies operating in it, and their methods of attracting financing. Among other things, the SEC wants information about the structures of ICO and pre-ICO of startups caught in its field of vision that do not fall under the requirements governing traditional public campaigns. The increased pressure on the market for crypto currency followed numerous statements that suggested that sooner or later the US regulators will move from words to decisive actions.
In January, the chairman of the SEC, Jay Clayton, promised not to ignore the company, whose leadership is trying to artificially raise the prices of its shares, stating their alleged connection with the blockade space. The activities of several such companies were indeed suspended.
Repeatedly, the SEC has warned both crypto-currency start-ups themselves, which, according to it, "violate the rules universally designed to protect investors".

The Gese blockchain-platform is a worldwide database of all alcoholic beverages, allowing users to quickly select a quality product that matches their taste preferences. Searching for information has never been easier: now, to get a complete product content information, a consumer just needs to place his smartphone over the NFC-label attached to the bottle. Gese will help the consumer make the right choices even before going to the store: the application will recommend alcoholic drinks based on the user's past preferences, show current reviews and help find the most optimal options from local stores. The buyer can verify the product authenticity by simply taking the bottle from the counter and placing his smartphone over the NFC-tag. Subsequently, the Gese user will be able to get a reward for writing a review about the purchased beverage and handing over the used packaging at a designated recycling point. Thus, the platform accompanies the buyer not only before, but also after the product purchase, thereby encouraging his activity within the system.
