About one in all 4 crypto tokens, which has failed in the primary quarter of this yr since 2021, since a crypto market descent and the token creation are easier than ever, says Coingecko, Crypto Data Platform.
Since 2021, almost 7 million cryptocurrencies have been listed in Coingeckos token -Tracking -Tool Geckoterminal and over half or 3.7 million tokens, “have stopped trading since then,” said Shaune Paul Lee, Research -Analyst from Coingecko, in a report from April thirtieth.
“Alarming alone, in the primary quarter of 2025 there was a collapse of 1.8 million tokens,” he added, which “corresponds to the best variety of errors in a single yr”. It also includes almost half of all mistakes and represents 1 / 4 of all tokens introduced since 2021.
Coencko recorded Token with not less than one trade before they were now not placed on, and only pump -fun token, which were accomplished or the bonding curve of the token creation platform.

Lee combined the recent token dying with “broader market turbulence” based on Donald Trump's inauguration in January, where Bitcoin (BTC) reached a climax, followed by a pointy downturn within the crypto market.
Further crypto token survived earlier
Last yr the second highest variety of token misery was 1.3 million, and as compared said Lee that the three previous years had a much lower wear rate.
Lee led the variety of tokens and their failures to the TOKE Creation Tool Pump.fun, “which simplified the strategy of creating token, which led to a flood of memoins and projects with low triggering into the market.”
Pump.fun went online in January 2024. Coingecko's report shows that the most important number of recent crypto tokens with over 3 million was introduced last yr in comparison with 2023, wherein a bit of greater than 835,000 took place.
“Before the beginning of Pump.fun in 2024, cryptocurrency errors counted within the low six digits. Project failures between 2021 and 2023 have only made 12.6% of all cryptocurrency errors prior to now five years,” said Lee.
Pump.fun's final rate, wherein the token trade is moving in front of the placement, has never been particularly high, with around 98% of the tokens fail.
The platform thus far was in November 2024 when 1.67% of the Memecoins switched to the open market.
Bobby Ong, founding father of Coingecko, said in a report dated March 6 that Memecoin Investor's interest appears to be cooled after a series of bad starts, and located the failure from the token start of the Libra (Libra).
Pump.fun had a weekly trading volume after the beginning of Trump's Memecoin on January 18, but each crypto and stock markets were affected with extreme volatility from March after Trump's threats of sweeping tariffs.
