Personally, I don't think the United States is the problem, but I think you will agree with me that right now everything is orchestrated from that country. At least in the news we don't see cases like this coming from other countries, and if such cases exist, they must be very few.
I've already written something about this over the years on BTT, and one of the things I mentioned is that we shouldn't be too surprised if one day the US takes an identical (or just a little milder) attitude towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, as China did. The only difference is that China can do it literally overnight with regard to its political system, while the US still has to do it gradually in order to leave the appearance of a country where human rights still exist to the extent that they are presented to the world as a nation.
Although if we look at the facts, we see that the obsession with control over everything and everyone is fiercely expressed in the US and that they will stop at nothing in the fight for that control. The problem is that a lot of things that have to do with cryptocurrencies have been centralized in the US, be it CEXs, mining, ETFs - but also the fact that the US has a great influence on a large part of the world, which means that others will follow their lead.
