Define “ban” - outright “you cannot accept, hold, or transact in bitcoin” ban? No, sure, not in my lifetime. Not impossible in the EU, but also not likely.
“You may not withdraw from a centralized exchange in amounts over $10k without the recipient also being a centralized, kyc, regulated exchange”, very possible. Not so likely in the us, sure, but very likely in EU.
We’re failing miserably to educate EU policymakers in the way we have US ones.
