Merely turning on trading accounts shouldn't create any new splits in 
existing transactions.  I suspect you must have used one or more of the 
scrub commands to create them.

I would have to have more details to see what is going on, but if you 
use one ore more commodities for crypto and have transactions that buy 
or sell those commodities in Euros, then it is normal for trading 
account splits to be created for those transactions, but only when the 
transaction is edited or scrubbed.
