The best thing to come out of crypto hype is the attention to Markel trees.
That probably played a part I. The development of CRDTs, which are straight up magic.

I'm not sure the history of CRDTs is at all bound up in cryptocurrency, which, for instance, isn't mentioned in the INRIA paper (which paper mentions previous CRDT designs that just didn't have the name).
