For some nuance, though, partly this has to do with lack of SEC enforcement on crypto as a security. My opinion then would have been that this should be insider trading, crypto should be classified as a security, and also that I wasn’t sure the SEC would classify this as insider trading.

Since the definition of insider trading is kind of, “whatever the SEC enforces”, it’s possible to believe that this is a security that was insider traded and also that it’s not “insider trading” in the only meaningful way (the SEC way.)
