It's doublespeak for we are taking an interest in this burgeoning opportunity and will likely be adding requirements to exchanges that will help to limit fraud, and ensure that the government gets whatever tax revenue they are obligated. Frankly, I see it as the powerful interests (banks/gov) taking their first step to assert their control of the new market. Someone less pessimistic may feel this is a good measure to ensure that something good will stay good by helping to keep fraud out of this new system.
