I'm surprised because I thought the Trump administration was hot on crypto.

They might be pro-crypto, but you're not in their group of special people allowed to anonymously own it. You have to use a wallet service owned by someone in that group, so that you're always under control.

The vast majority of (especially less tech-savvy) crypto people are in it for the speculation. They have no interest in self-custody.

Sure, the approved and controlled kind. Wheels of government turn so slow this idea probably started several administrations ago.
