I strongly expect that some sort of audited, regulated, insured custody accounts will exist in the future.

So do I.

They won't be traditional banks though - they will be new entities which are audited and regulated by cryptography.

I wouldn't be surprised to see some kind of "audited" and "regulated" custody service, however I think that it would be very unlikely that it would be insured.

The fact that whoever knows the private keys of an address can control the unspent inputs of that address makes it too difficult to measure the amount of risk of potential loss.
