2025 Token Launches Face Widespread Post-Launch Declines
The cryptocurrency market is witnessing a brutal reckoning for 2025 token launches, with 84.7% of new tokens trading below their Token Generation Event (TGE) valuations. Memento Research data reveals just 15% of projects have maintained value post-launch, with ASTEN being a rare exception.
Median performance paints a dire picture—a 71% decline in fully diluted valuation (FDV) across tracked launches. This erosion suggests systemic issues in tokenomics or market appetite for new offerings. The trend challenges the long-held assumption that early-stage participation guarantees outsized returns.
Market analysts observe this bloodbath reflects growing investor sophistication and diminished tolerance for speculative projects. With four out of five launches failing to hold TGE prices, the data underscores the need for stronger fundamentals in crypto fundraising.
