If the problem is crypto, leave crypto out of the resume and say that you became a monk or took up sailing or volunteered overseas or something during that time and see if it helps.

My advice: if you're not applying for a crypto job, scrub all crypto terms from your resume. Most people aren't going to understand what it is beyond criminal activity (scams, drugs, money laundering), HR might think you're a liability. People who don't assume it's criminal activity will most likely be confused about why you applied to a non-crypto job and find it an irrelevant useless skill they don't want to pay a premium for. In the last year, public opinion on crypto has tanked, so there is incentive to pretend you were actually doing AI or anything else the whole time. Having a hole in your resume is a bad idea though. Most likely you can describe crypto work in non-crypto terms.
