They are only ceasing to operate in US, they will continue to serve rest of the world (95.75% of world population).

The US has 20% of the global crypto market and it's responsible for 40% of all transactions. That's pretty significant.
Usually (and in almost all cases) the world follows the US so will be not surprised when governments will completely ban crypto into the dark web.
When it comes to crypto regulations though, US is lagging behind. Crypto is already taxed as gambling in India and is pretty much out of popular discourse. Just one season of crypto platforms advertising on India's biggest sporting league (IPL) made the regulators sit up and take notice of the shady practices and put an end to it. I believe crypto is very much dead in China as well.
