Description
Consider the below image. The asset is "ETH", and we're not showing the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner to enable hiding the asset. All good? No! It's not native ETH, but a token named ETH. I'm gonna bet our logic for hiding/showing the menu is too naive to handle this case. We should fix it.
The user that reported this also says that resetting their account does not hide or remove this asset.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported asset state from the screenshot and tracing the logic that decides whether the three-dot menu is shown. Check the reset-account flow as well; done means a token named ETH can be hidden and is removed or hidden after account reset without affecting native ETH.
