That is the right way out. Regulating cryptocurrencies will attract governments and financial institutions into cryptocurrencies investment. Many of us here have lost money investing into one scam projects to another because there are not regulated. If plan is underway to keep cryptocurrencies but regulate then I think it is a welcome development.
Yes, regulation will control many fake ICO because many people are loosing their money by choosing the bad ICO, so in order to control these government and financial instutions should start legalising the ICO's and cryptocurrency exchanges.
