I also dont see how you regulate the exchange without regulating the coin itself, no anonymity, full taxes, full tracking of the coin as it moves all of which slows the speed of transfers down to basically ordinary bank transfers and knocks away a huge part of the advantage of crypto in the first place
I don't see why that would be a problem. Banks are regulated without also regulating all the global currencies they work with. If a customer takes their tokens off a centralized exchange, that's no longer the business of the exchange, just as banks don't track what happens to a customer's cash once it's out of their account. Requiring KYC, providing tax reports, keeping records of the addresses sent/received from are all pretty common now anyways if you're dealing with a centralized exchange moving more than just small value sums of tokens.
