Over the past four years, more than half of newly launched crypto projects have failed. This trend was especially notable in 2021, when growing interest in digital assets and easy-to-use platforms like Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain led to a surge in token creation. The simplified launch of meme coins on platforms such as Solana further intensified the issue.
According to CoinGecko, out of millions of tokens created, most failed to attract liquidity - nearly 90% had daily trading volumes under $1,000. Experts note that the market is flooded with low-value projects that can’t withstand competition and quickly disappear.
Nonetheless, major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum remain stable, while the overall situation serves as a reminder of the risks involved in investing in lesser-known tokens.
