Why DeFi Tokens Might Disappoint You This Bull Run
If you're buying DeFi tokens to ride Ethereum’s pump, think again.
The game has changed since DeFi Summer 2020.
Back then, it made sense:
ETH was the gas
DeFi tokens were the engines
When ETH moved, DeFi moved even harder.
But now in 2025?
That pattern is broken.
Instead of flowing into DeFi, ETH money is moving into old-school “boomer coins" like:
XRP, ADA, TRX, HBAR, XLM, ALGO
These tokens barely have real use or developer activity
So why are they pumping?
Two main reasons:
1. They’ve been around for years people recognize the names.
2. They’re easy to buy on major exchanges, no wallets, bridges, or DeFi knowledge needed.
Retail traders (especially new ones) love simple, familiar, and accessible.
This tells us something big:
👉 In bull markets, fundamentals don’t matter as much.
👉 People chase hype, momentum, and easy access, not deep metrics like TVL or protocol revenue.
And unless you have serious insider info (or luck), picking the right DeFi token is harder and riskier now.
👉 So if you’re looking to profit from ETH’s growth, consider:
– $ETH itself
– Large-cap altcoins
– Leveraged ETH positions
– Avoiding mid-cap #DeFi unless you’re sure
Conclusion;
Boomer coins are winning because they’re simple and everywhere.
Not because they’re better, but because they’re easy to buy, and people know them.
The market has changed.
Don’t get stuck in the past. Adapt and thrive.
