\n“52.7% of the total coins on GeckoTerminal have failed, with most occurring in 2024 and early 2025,” the researchers stated.<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the first quarter of 2025, 1.8 million tokens collapsed\u201449.7% of all CoinGecko-recorded crypto project failures.<\/p>\n

\n“Such a sharp decline in ‘survivability’ may be linked to overall market turbulence, which intensified after Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, coinciding with a market correction,” experts explained.<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The total number of crypto projects also rose sharply: in 2021, GeckoTerminal added 428,383 coins, and by 2025 this figure had approached 7 million.<\/p>\n

Analysts attribute this explosive growth to the launch of Pump.fun<\/a>, a “meme token factory” that radically simplified the process of creating coins. Thanks to it, new crypto assets began to appear literally within minutes and with minimal effort.<\/p>\n

The number of “collapsed” projects in 2025 reached 1.8 million<\/span> (49.7% of the total)\u2014more than in any other year.<\/p>\n

In 2024, 1.4 million projects vanished\u201437.7% of the total over the past five years.<\/p>\n

\n“However, this year also saw a record number of launches\u2014over 3 million new projects entered the market. Before the advent of Pump.fun in 2024, the number of failed crypto initiatives remained at modest six-figure levels. From 2021 to 2023, only 12.6% of all industry failures over the past five years occurred,” experts observed.<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
