We all believe that regulation is inevitable for the crypto space. The approach of the government can be ham-handed like we have seen in China or more enlightened like in Singapore and Switzerland.
It is the waiting in the dark part that creates FUD. We just wait to see what will happen. In general, things are neither as bad nor as good as they can be. Most action happens toward the middle of the bell curve and not at the extremes. This will probably be true for US government regulation also.
