It's hard with all the scams. Outside of BTC and a few of the bigger coins, that just seems to be the news that people see about crypto. I honestly think another factor is that the developers seem to have moved towards AI so there aren't as many good projects in crypto coming out.
You're right in the sense that the attention may have shifted from crypto to AI and honestly it's sad, AI isn't for the common man, crypto is, we probably just need new hype around crypto
