Other than price of most of them (due mostly to macroeconomics really and unhealthy rapid expansion which is not uncommon to happen each cycle) adoption and use of them in almost every metric is up and increasing.

I would argue this can only be proven by showing the number of individual users buying crypto over time. Of course, due to the pseudonymous nature of crypto this is impossible to prove. One person can open 10 billion accounts and make a minor transaction on each in the extreme case. Do you have any data that proves your case conclusively?
global adoption metrics:

from (in case the link of the doc doesn't work)-> https://go.chainalysis.com/2021-geography-of-crypto.html

this data clearly doesn't show current situation (June 2022 to be precise) as that report is not out yet but the macro situation is clearly affecting valuations in all markets (commodities, equities, crypto, etc) specially crypto and growth-driven tech companies as they are obviously more risky in a higher interest and more uncertain (from the global macro perspective) environment.
