As previously reported by Cointelegraph, Belarus HTP has been actively involved in activities around the crypto industry regulation. In 2018, a committee at the HTP issued a set of rules for the operation of the crypto market in the country, including regulations related to initial coin offerings.

The HTP did not immediately respond to Cointelegraph’s request for comment.
