Nearly 2 Million Crypto Tokens Collapse in Q1 2025 Amid Market Volatility
The cryptocurrency market witnessed a staggering collapse of nearly 2 million tokens in the first quarter of 2025, according to a CoinGecko report. While the analysis refrains from pinpointing a single cause, it suggests heightened market volatility during Trump’s presidency may have contributed to the unprecedented failure rate.
Token mortality isn’t new to crypto. The NFT boom of previous years saw over 95% of assets eventually fail. However, 2025 stands apart with fewer launches and more failures compared to 2024. CoinMarketCap data reveals an explosion of active tokens - from 2.7 million to 14.65 million in just one year - creating a saturated ecosystem where most projects struggle to survive.
