Crypto assets: growth, decline, and the future of decentralized exchanges
In recent years, the crypto market has experienced rapid development, accompanied by both rises and falls. According to DEX tracker GeckoTerminal, approximately 7 million crypto assets have been recorded since 2021, of which more than half – 3.7 million – have ceased to exist. Why do so many projects fail, and what does this mean for the future of decentralized exchanges (DEX)?
Reasons for failure
Key factors contributing to the disappearance of crypto assets:
1. Lack of real value – Many new tokens are created without a clear concept, lacking practical application or technological breakthrough.
2. Low liquidity level – If an asset does not attract traders, trading volume decreases, and investors lose interest.
3. Growing competition – In a saturated market, weak projects simply cannot withstand competition from more successful and innovative solutions.
4. Regulatory pressure – Increased control over cryptocurrencies in many countries leads to the closure or reduced activity of projects.
5. Scam projects and manipulations – Some assets are created for quick profit, undermining investor trust.
Impact on DEX
Although the failures of many projects may seem like a troubling signal, decentralized exchanges continue to evolve. Sustainable platforms adapt by implementing investor protection mechanisms and improving the listing processes for new assets.
Prospects
DEX remains an important part of the crypto ecosystem, providing users with freedom of choice and transparency. In the future, we can expect:
- Development of algorithmic solutions to prevent the emergence of fraudulent tokens.
- Improvement of liquidity management mechanisms.
- Increased integration with traditional financial systems.
The disappearance of a large number of crypto assets is a natural process of market evolution. Only those projects that provide real value and adapt to changing conditions will survive.
