January 15th has released some interesting data — currently, more than half of all cryptocurrencies have completely gone to zero, and the vast majority of these occurred in 2025. Specifically, in the year 2025 alone, approximately 11.6 million tokens have become worthless, accounting for 86.3% of all tokens that have gone to zero over the past five years (2021-2025). Even more astonishing, in just the last quarter of the previous year, 7.7 million tokens completely disappeared.
This phenomenon actually explains a lot. For those altcoins, frankly, the most reliable trading strategy is to find tokens that have surged tenfold or more and then short them at lower multiples. No matter how they fluctuate or rebound, the final outcome is basically one word — zero. It’s like a gambler’s game, with many participants, but most end up losing money in the end.
Of course, not all tokens are so tragic. Top altcoins like BNB, SOL, BCH, and other major mainstream coins follow a different path. Projects with real use cases and community support perform very differently. In comparison, the rapid collapse of small tokens highlights the stronger risk resistance of mainstream assets.

Low-multiplier shorting of altcoins, this move is still a bit ruthless
---
Year after year, the weeds are still so fragrant
---
BNB and SOL are truly resilient, others are just here to send money
---
7.7 million disappear in Q4? That number is outrageous
---
Seemingly crazy data, but it’s actually the market self-purifying
---
The real gambler’s game, most people don’t realize they’re gambling
---
Having real application scenarios makes a difference, this can’t be denied
---
11.6 million? Why do I feel like I’ve tried a few thousand of them
---
The risk resistance of mainstream coins is now being demonstrated

Altcoins, one word to describe: waiting to die
This data is really incredible, a total collapse everyone
The low-multiplier shorting strategy is indeed highly profitable, it all depends on whether you dare to gamble
The gambler's game is so accurate, nine out of ten people lose their entire capital
Only tokens like BNB and SOL are worth playing, others are just a harvest for the chives
770 million coins lost in the fourth quarter, just thinking about it is exciting
The moat of mainstream coins is indeed deep, small coins are purely casinos
How can anyone still be messing with those knockoffs, not afraid of losing everything
The endgame is just a zero, no one can escape this curse
The main reason I don't touch altcoins is like this—ultimately, it's just contributing to the whales.
Only projects like BNB and SOL with real applications are the right path; others... haha.
This round of cleansing was indeed brutal, with 7.7 million disappearing in three months of Q4. The market is self-healing.
Shorting ten-bag coins? Sounds simple but actually easier to get wrecked; no one can precisely hit that point.
Assets with real value are never afraid of bear markets. The logic behind small coins is fundamentally flawed.
This is true market survival of the fittest; trash coins deserve to die.
But this data also shows that the number of retail investors entering is terrifying—most are still destined to lose money.
Altcoins are just a processing plant for retail investors, don't hold onto illusions, friends
BNB, SOL are the right path; only with applications and communities can they survive
This round of cleansing was too harsh, well done
Shorting those ten-bagger meme coins might be the only reliable strategy
Going to zero is the end; it's an unavoidable fate
The risk resistance of mainstream coins is really not to be underestimated, now you understand, right?
