It's not just crypto media either, in fact the calls are growing even louder over in the gambling industry. They already have large numbers of lobbyists engaged in the push for gambling legislation, so they already have a lot of weight to further tip the scales towards tighter crypto regulations.

The global gambling market is absolutely massive and has always been a key factor in the increased adoption and value of crypto. Satoshi himself recognized it even in the earliest development of bitcoin.
