By that logic US persons can't use Ethereum at all. If you withdraw ETH from Coinbase it is very likely that those coins will have passed through tornado.cash at some point.

This logic obviously doesn't hold up to even the slightest scrutiny. There's too much American money invested in Ethereum for any government agency to even seriously consider the idea of destroying it like this.
