This is a huge assumption to make about someone's character when all you know is that they were employed in $CRYPTO_COMPANY_X FROM $START_DATE TO $END_DATE.

You are forever tarring someone you don't even know.

If you are involved in recruitment it might be worth taking a look at those guesses you are making.

Godwin's Law: Let me put it to you this way, would you immediately dismiss or red-flag someone who previously worked at IBM?

If the companies didn't matter, why would you put them on your CV?

Because they matter to the people you're getting hired by. Are you for real?

It was a retorical question. The companies on your CV obviously matter.

Some companies will make a good impression, some companies will make a neutral impression, and some companies will make a bad impression.

And with the current situation, I doubt that crypto companies on your CV will be in the first category.
