Powell explained that the company has made progress in gaining regulatory clearance in some geographic areas and gained “more clarity” from places in which Kraken cannot operate.

Yes, another opportunity for people to dump their bad coins and actually get real bitcoins. I recommend that people do this now before it's to late.

i'm hopeful but just cannot see how these US based exchanges will survive regulation.

There's a great big world outside of the United States that we can serve without a problem.  Within the US, some states are friendlier than others and it's just going to be a process of going to them one at a time to get the licenses we need where we need them.  We need the same licenses that exchanges based outside of the US need in order to serve US customers.
