I see it as the government should get out of the way of those who know what they are doing and the risks.
The problem is, these exchanges do not make you go through the same "vetting" processes traditional securities brokers/exchanges do before you can leverage up to your eye balls and lose everything.
They also go out of their way to make it "fun" to trade crypto - gamification at it's best - which reduces/removes the traditional apprehension of getting in way above your abilities.
We can liken a lot of these exchanges to gambling more than investing.
That is to say, an 18 year old with $500 in total assets shouldn't be eligible to leverage 20x or more. That's just a life-changing problem waiting to happen.
