Disturbing, if confirmed. But logical, as more and more companies are preparing to adapt to coming crypto-regulations, esp. MICA in Europe. Governments will force all crypto service providers (whether it's protocols, wallets or whatever) to KYC.
That's the sad thing about this world. Pretty sure that most citizens of the world praise their right to anonymity but most governments (supposed to represent the people) are against it.
There is always that airgapped old PC in the basement with open-source wallet software on it. Unless they ban Turing-completeness.
