There are rumors of an SEC-approved BTC exchange coming up. Once that happens, it will become possible to trade BTCs with the same level of confidence as trading Stocks, Currencies, or Commodities.

Somewhat unrelated: the Winkelvoss Twins are making an ETF for Bitcoins, and its going through the SEC right now. http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2014/01/17/lawyer-for-winkelv...

So at very least, SEC approved BTC funds are beginning to be set up. Its only a matter of time before a startup goes for full SEC approval in the BTC Exchange world.

Integration into US Society and Regulations is a good thing, and will give much confidence to the rather scary world that BTC currently is.
