Agreed, I think this is all being done to put things on a wanted timeline, so they can shape the space the way they want it to make sure they know every single transactions that takes place and who made the transactions, so they can monitor/control each exchange of value and tax and/or restrict each as they see fit. I don't think they will fully shutdown the crypto space, but I do feel they are going to stall it a little so they can better sink their claws into it before letting the cat back out of the bag.
