  As a US resident, there are several legal limitations you should be aware of when joining ICOs. Firstly, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has stated that ICOs can be considered securities offerings, which means they must comply with federal securities laws. This includes registering with the SEC or qualifying for an exemption. Additionally, individual states may have their own regulations regarding ICOs. It's important to research and understand the specific laws in your state before participating in an ICO. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in legal consequences.
