"Choosing to be nonpolitical" is an explicit statement of non-support for things like BLM.

Well, back in the day in Eastern Europe choosing to be "nonpolitical" was an explicit endorsement of Fascism, according to the Communists.
Two can play this game.
And it is a game.
If in your parent comment you had accused Coinbase/Armstrong of implicitly supporting the status quo (as you define it) I would've said "yeah, sure, if I squint hard enough and wash it through the 'silence is violence' filters I can see how you'd think that".
Another troubling thing I want to point out here is your comment is part of an accelerating trend where people, particularly from but not limited to those on the left, consistently attribute maximum malice of intent to peoples' comments (said and unsaid) or their actions. That is, imo, one of the reasons these environments are so toxic, because people are immediately put on the defensive.
