Why are newly listed coins crashing instead of pumping? Something's changed — and it's not just the market.
Just a few months ago, new listings used to explode in value within hours. The hype was real, the community was engaged, and even utility-based tokens had strong momentum. But recently, that pattern has reversed. Over the last several months, more than 10 newly listed coins have failed to take off — instead, they plummet shortly after launch.
This shift reflects changing market dynamics: tighter liquidity, cautious investors, exit liquidity games, and in many cases, lower confidence in project fundamentals. The listing itself no longer guarantees a pump — in fact, it often signals the start of heavy sell pressure.
In today's environment, launch day might be the worst time to buy. Understanding timing, sentiment, and liquidity flow has never been more important.
