Are crypto experiences a negative during IBD interviews?

I’m a sophomore currently going through US IBD interviews, and last summer interned at the vc investing arm of a recognizable crypto exchange. Although I’m not a believer in crypto tbh but I got placed on a few live deals and have tons of stories. But felt like evertime i brought up crypto to my interviewers they are visibly skeptic and are more engaged when I don’t talk about crypto.

Am I imagining things or is the general sentiment around crypto experiences negative in IBD?
