China puts an stop to the ICOs, his final intention is to regulate the market. But for now the first action is stop the ICO's
That makes a run of panic sell on NEO.

I think the market is reading it wrong. What China is afraid of is scams, or "large risks to consumers", as it says in the Coin Telegraph article.
Actually, I think it is a good thing. Everybody knows the risks of investing in ICOs, in particular the risk of being scammed. On top of that, they haven't shut the door yet, they are "considering" it.
Still, it doesn't surprise me. Regulation is a keyword that everyone in crypto hates, so the market reacted accordingly. The reason behind this "regulation" is, in my opinion, a good thing.

You're right. China now is going to regulation oficially. Now the new fear are the exchanges..
