**Market Value of Altcoins Erased US$382 Billion, Experts Predict It Will Become Digital Waste**

Analysts report that the market value of altcoins has been erased by up to US$382 billion throughout 2025, as the price of Bitcoin rises to US$111,000. This indicates that many coins have drastically decreased in value even as the adoption of the world's first digital asset continues to increase.

“I think they (altcoins) are just going to die, honestly. They are just wilting. Technically, many of these things are just going to sit there and gather dust forever,” said Zodia Markets Founder Nick Philpott, quoting Bloomberg.

In line with this, according to CoinGecko, more than 50% of all crypto projects have failed. Out of nearly 7 million cryptos listed on GeckoTerminal since 2021, 3.7 million of them have stopped trading and are considered failures.

As of March 2025 alone, it is reported that 1.8 million crypto projects have failed, reaching 49.7% of all project failures between 2021 and 2025. Meanwhile, in 2024, nearly 1.4 million projects failed, accounting for 37.7% of all failures in the last five years.

This year, Bitcoin's share of the total crypto market value rose by 9% to 64%, the highest since January 2021. At that time, the crypto world was still largely unregulated, crypto lending services were booming, and NFTs were just starting to gain recognition.

In contrast, altcoins are faltering. An index that tracks the performance of the bottom half of the 100 largest crypto assets had doubled after Donald Trump won the presidential election last November, but that index has now plummeted by about 50% throughout 2025.

Managing Partner of Kindred Ventures Kanyi Maqubela stated that the main issue with altcoins is actually about real utility.
