Description

What is this about?

Remove eye icon for hiding. Instead, allow for hiding upon tapping balance.

Rationale:
Historically, we’ve prioritized overtly discoverable design affordances. But in cases where interactions are intuitive or follow familiar industry patterns, we can scale back. This is one of those cases—most crypto apps either don’t include a hide feature or simply hide the balance when the value is tapped

Research direction

Start with the linked Figma design for the Mobile Home balance interaction, then locate the existing balance hide icon and its current tap behavior in the mobile home screen. Done means the eye icon is removed and tapping the balance toggles hiding as shown in the design, with relevant tests still passing.
