Since you're neutral to crypto, no, this is not weird. There is an overwhelming chance you use a trusted intermediary for your personal finance, so accepting that for crypto is an ideologically consistent position for you to take.
The issue is that it's a bit two faced for the crypto crowd, who for years have been saying "be your own bank" and hyping crypto's ability to destroy traditional banks and financial institutions. That's why those of us who are negative on crypto (like me) will regularly point out how crypto has basically started recreating a parallel financial structure to traditional finance, only worse.
