TRON: looks like a shameless pump and dump. Any "hype" you see from this probably comes from shills waiting to cash out at the first sign of a pump.
XRP: the ripple hype is over. I don't particularly like this bankers coin, but I believe you can make some good profits.
EOS: pure hype because of the mainnet launch coming soon, after that we might see a huge dump from early investors. I wouldn't recommend investing in this alt right now as I think it's overpriced.
I think you are right Tron market is manipulated..
and hyped.
