What I don't follow is why Ethereum is a good target to implement this type of program on. If you have the know-how to implement a bulletproof/trustable multi-token transaction clearing platform, why would you want to tie yourself to this platform?

The only advantage I see for smart contracts is that it would allow you to implement security-like mechanisms without regulatory burden associated with the SEC and other financial entities. Apart from this "new world" thing, in what concrete ways is using an etherium based exchange more advantageous for me-user than traditional financial organisms who must submit to oversight and scrutiny with safeguards in place to prevent hostile behaviour from my peers?

I should've bet on it.
