Over Half of Crypto Coins Are Dead đ
The crypto world is a brutal placeâover 50% of the nearly 7 million cryptocurrencies listed on GeckoTerminal since 2021 have crashed and burned, with 3.7 million now considered âdead.â The worst year? 2025, where 1.8 million tokens failed in just the first quarter, making up nearly half of all failures. 2024 wasnât much better, with 1.4 million projects tanking. The explosion of new coins, especially after pump.fun made token creation super easy, led to a flood of meme coins and shaky projects. Back in 2021, failures were rare, but now, with millions of projects launching, the crypto market feels like a wild west where most donât survive.
This is honestly wild but not shocking. The crypto space is a hype-driven casinoâpump.fun made it so anyone with an idea and a keyboard can launch a token, but most of these are just quick cash grabs or memes with no staying power. The 2025 failures spiking after Trumpâs inauguration makes me think market sentiment and policy shifts are hitting hard. Itâs a wake-up call: cryptoâs exciting, but itâs also a graveyard for bad ideas and weak projects. If youâre diving in, #DYOR , because the odds are stacked against new coins.
