INX chief financial officer Renata Szkoda is urging companies to "think critically before launching tokens."

But now, the industry is in the midst of a regulatory crackdown by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) due to intense scrutiny for non-compliance with existing regulations.
The SEC has recently launched investigations into several major cryptocurrency firms, including Binance BNB/USD, Coinbase COIN, and FTX FTT/USD.
These firms are facing charges for operating unregistered exchanges and failing to prevent U.S.-based investors from using their platforms.
INX hosted the first SEC-backed ICO two years ago, raising $85 million from over 7,000 investors.
