I saw a piece of data circulating that frankly doesn't surprise me anymore: more than half of all crypto tokens have failed, and most of these collapses happened precisely in 2025.

I think many of us expected it. In recent years, the market has been flooded with projects that had no solid foundations — hype, empty promises, nothing concrete behind them. When the cycle turned, these failed crypto tokens disappeared like snow in the sun.

What’s striking is how quickly it happened. In 2025, we saw a real market cleanup. Projects that seemed destined to last evaporated in just a few weeks. This isn’t a new phenomenon in crypto, but the scale was impressive.

The interesting thing is that, in a way, this is healthy for the ecosystem. All the failed crypto tokens that vanish represent a form of natural selection. The projects with real value, serious teams, and a concrete vision remain. The noise decreases, and the average quality improves.

Of course, it’s not convenient if you’re left holding a bag full of these assets, but from the market’s overall perspective, it’s a necessary process. 2025 accelerated what would have happened anyway: the end of weak projects and the consolidation around true fundamentals.

If you’re thinking about exploring the market now, at least you know that many of the worst actors have already been eliminated. It’s worth doing research, but at least the playing field is a bit cleaner than before.
