I'd say the biggest problem is "fraud". Once you make it accessible for the average person to invest and the sophisticated fraudster to advertise and raise money, what you get is ... ICOs.

IPOs do have fraud but at least it is controlled a lot. To raise capital you need to be a specific person/company and you have a set of responsibility toward your investors.

For ICOs? Not really.
