It's my experience that having had any crypto-adjacent accounts associated with my main email over the last decade has caused the single largest increase in email spam of anything I have ever done. I used to engage in the industry (in the mid to late 2010's when most trading was done through centralized exchanges) and it seems a few of the old platforms have leaked/lost/sold their email databases. I get ~2-3 emails daily now that I assume are all scams saying various things along the lines of "You have n free XYZ token waiting to be collected!" and "Ensure you update your ledger for the latest security patches! Here is a link to it! Please ignore that its not to an official ledger domain!"

A lot of the spam seems to be either proxied through insecure wordpress comment plugins or simply signing my email up for accounts on random websites and somehow injecting their phishing attempts into the account confirmation emails. They come from all sorts of domains, most of which having nothing to do with crytpo, and nearly all of the messages are embedded in some sort of broken HTML email body.

Although I no longer follow or have much interest in the industry, I am hesitant to outright blacklist crypto terms. Has anyone come up with a good solution to combating crypto email spam?

Yeah, stop using centralized services

Most of these accounts existed before DEFI was a twinkle in Vitalik's eye.

That being said if I could go back in time and avoid making them, I think I still would....

Instructions unclear. I've decentralized my email, and now the spam is worse.
