I am letting my mind wonder...Going in all directions. A little grace here please, before you blast.
Was thinking about 1929 market crash. People were trading with borrowed money...Hence the crash. 1979-80 with interest rates above 15% for prime businesses...If you weren't solid (with a backstop of funds), you were doomed. 2008-9, Wells Fargo had very few derivatives (credit default swaps)...They were solid, but were forced to buy government funds (and take over Wachovia).
Since we do not (and can not) know where cryptos are located or that their exchanges are real, you need a crisis. You need a bloodbath, I hate to say.
If a crypto drops 70% and does not stop withdraws, you can be pretty certain they have the funds stored correctly. If not, it is any ones guess...
I doubt whether any government (except maybe Canada or Europe [Euro]) will try to be on top of the cryptos trading in their countries...They just can't.
Yes, there will be senate and house probes...But they will not want to regulate this industry. With a house republican majority, I can not see them approving a bill to establish a new crypto agency!! For one thing, it can not be done...It's like herding cats.
One last though...Putting a backstop of two billion dollars worth of CRYPTO COIN (not dollars) is laughable.
