You missed the main part: they'll do that when everything is regulated. It may take a while :)
And at that point they'll be only one of the many that'll rush into crypto business.

Yes, but they are stating it now, so it's positive news for bitcoin, which is what it needs to attract more investors and grow day by day.

Very good news, I have always thought and said here on this forum that it will be unavoidable that the major financial institutions will have to realize that Bitcoin and cryptos in general must not be fought, but rather be adopted.

I welcome this kind of news, it gives confidence in Bitcoin and perhaps will help dumb people who still believe that Bitcoin is a Ponzi or a con to open their eyes hopefully...

they are realising that blockchain is not simply a mysql database of facebook credits, but a real distributed ledger of assets. and its not something that just fades away if a company doesnt re-register after 12 months. crypto is built to continue forever(as long as they serve a function, people will mine blocks of that coin)



and as for ICO's needing to be regulated.. pfft. does she really realise what she is saying.

regulation is a government agency asking a business to self-vet its own customers, and allow the company to create its own policies
ICO's dont need to be regulated. ico's need to become liable to consumer protection laws more strictly.(there is a difference)

its not the investors of ICO's that need to be investigated. but is the ICO's themselves that need to be investigated

after all how many bankers have you seen go to prison due to all the many banking scams around 'payment insurance' 'bad(subprime) credit loans'
regulations are meaningless to consumers and just paperwork for businesses.
