governments freeze currency all the time.
Which is why if you hold Russian bonds you are screwed.. which caused a cascading long term effect and why now all bond markets are affected. And all countries are bringing there gold home from the USA.. they now know in a total collapse of the system they need their gold in their vaults.
that being said crypto currency traders are not trading a currency but some weird version of Pokemon cards so who knows what's good or bad for them.
