USA to follow Japan licensing of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Exchanges ?

Although this could cause prices to drop again I have a reassuring feeling that it might cause more people to actually invest in crypto's. When I first started investing I was highly skeptical due to the fact that an exchange can just close and take your money, of course you do research and find the best one's to use but It all still feels a bit odd if you are use to other types of trading such as Forex or stocks or whatever you might do. Can this mean that trading with licensed exchanges or approved by governments will bring a ton of people such as myself who invest much smaller amounts than typical traders? Will this remove a lot of FUD and cause crypto's to become more stable? What are your views on the subject?
