Bit coin is international trade, even trading with your next door neighbor very heavily involves international partners to complete the transaction. A very heavily regulated field. While crypto involves very little real cryptography, but it bears the name of an information science field that is subject to arms export restrictions.

Or to someone in Congress looking to get a bill named after themselves. Crypto also interferes with with traditional market exchanges. Those regulators are looking at extreme cases of wash trading and market manipulation. Both are very heavily regulated everywhere else.
