can anyone think as to what advantages bitstamp and bitfinex will have if fully insured and regulated exchanges open?
Is it that they will have less regulation so to speak and this itself will be an advantage?

Well Stamp is likely to slip further into a coma but Bitfinex will be fine, regulated exchanges wont offer margin. However with the exchange supposedly being insured general buying and selling is likely to move to more regulated avenues.
Stamp has Pantera on his side... So it will probably stay around for a long time

Slip further into a coma implies it will still be around but a graveyard in comparison to when they were one of the biggest exchanges. The customer doesn't care about Pantera and theres 0 loyalty involved when deciding who to trust with your coins and fiat.
