for two things: delegation of responsibility (those who want other people to handle the security) and for loans.
That's the whole point of a p2p currency to have full control for yourself. And loans can be achieved in other ways like crowdfunding. Cryptocurrencies will fuck up banks!
Then why would they want crypto currencies in the first place? They will just have no benefit of them. They will go down with the banks or banks will win and crypto currencies go down.
The benefit is that they have the possibility of holding it themselves. It's easier to have it all in one (open) system than to switch between open and proprietary systems.
