The latest CoinGecko reports have been released, and the numbers are chilling. 2025 was a true graveyard for altcoins.
âȘïžđ The massacre tally (January 2026):
âïž 11.6 million tokens have died in 2025 alone.
âïž 86.7% of all crypto failures in history occurred last year.
The breaking point? The "liquidation cascade" on October 10, 2025, which wiped out $19 billion in just 24 hours.
âȘïžâ ïž Why such a massacre?
This is the flip side of ease. With tools like Pump.fun, creating a token has become too simple. Result: we've seen the number of projects grow from 400,000 in 2021 to over 20 million by the end of 2025.
Most are "Zombie Tokens": no utility, no liquidity, and complete developer abandonment within a few days.
đĄ My Holder's advice:
In an era where you can create a meme in 3 clicks, caution is your best ally.
1ïžâŁ Avoid Crypto "Fast-Food": If a project lacks a clear vision (like Cardano's or Midnight's paradigm shift), it has a 98% chance of ending up on this infamous list.
2ïžâŁ Seek solidity: In 2026, the market will "normalize." Institutions (Grayscale, BlackRock) won't touch zombies. They're looking for infrastructure.
The 2025 lesson is clear: Creating a token is easy, making it survive is a miracle. Don't be the exit liquidity of a dead project. đĄïž
