The altcoin market has been under continuous selling pressure for 13 months, resulting in a drop in total capitalization to below $1 trillion. According to NS3.AI, this persistent selling pressure contrasts with the 2022 bear market, where such pressure eventually eased. Short-term traders have increasingly focused on Bitcoin, reducing their exposure to altcoins.

The number of listed tokens has surged to 31.8 million, yet more than half of these coins are projected to fail by the end of 2025. This situation highlights the fragility of the altcoin sector's recovery and underscores the importance for investors to prioritize liquidity and fundamentals.
