#Strategy加仓BTC 2025 will see deeper shocks to the crypto world than most people imagine.



According to market data, over 11.6 million tokens have been lost from trading markets in just one year. Even more alarming is that since records began in 2021, 86% of failed tokens are concentrated in 2025. In just the fourth quarter alone, over 7.7 million tokens have been completely abandoned by the market.

But it’s important to clarify—so-called "dead tokens" do not necessarily mean scams or exit scams. Essentially, these tokens have lost liquidity; no one is trading them, and therefore no one is willing to hold them. This is actually the market’s natural selection mechanism at work.

Why is there such a large-scale淘汰 of tokens? Two very practical reasons: First, the technical barriers and costs of issuing tokens have dropped to rock bottom, with various Launchpads and Meme tools making coin creation nearly zero-cost; second, when leveraged liquidation chain reactions are triggered, funds quickly withdraw from small coins and flow back into mainstream assets, initiating the bleeding process for small tokens.

In the short term, this is definitely bearish—mass project failures undermine retail investor confidence, and the era of "buying coins blindly to make money" has come to an end. But from a long-term perspective, this is actually a positive development. After the bubble is squeezed out, market attention will refocus on assets with real liquidity and real utility. BTC, ETH, and top-tier public chain ecosystems will become more scarce and more core.

To put it simply, 2025 has not killed cryptocurrencies themselves; it has only killed a fantasy—not every token is destined to survive. The upcoming competition will no longer be about stories or hype, but about real strength: Is there enough liquidity? Are the use cases clear? Is there genuine demand?

The crypto world is slimming down, not dying out. Understanding this, the direction of choices won’t be too far off.

17,160,000 tokens have died. I just want to ask how many people are still buying scam coins. This wave of cleansing in 2025, honestly, what was supposed to come has come, nothing surprising. Zero-cost coin creation with leverage clearing, small investors really need to wake up. The bubble being squeezed dry is actually more beneficial to mainstream coins; I agree with this logic. Instead of chasing hot coins, it's better to hold onto BTC long-term, which is more reliable. 8,860,000 tokens are gone just like that. Does anyone still dare to go all-in on small coins? After this wave, truly valuable assets have become more apparent. It's about strength rather than stories; finally, someone is telling the truth. The market is self-purifying; I think this is a good thing. Small investors have been harvested too many times; it's time to learn to choose.

Honestly, 11.6 million coins just died, and this number looks outrageous at first glance. But upon closer thought, it makes sense—anyone can create coins at zero cost, so market clearing is a normal operation.

1. 17 million tokens have died, 86% concentrated in 2025... This is not a black swan, it's a washout. 2. Zero-cost coin creation strengthens the chain reaction, retail investors should really wake up, that blind all-in script has long been outdated. 3. It's actually good that the bubble has burst; trash coins are gone, and the scarcity of BTC and ETH is now evident. This is natural selection. 4. That's right, the crypto market is slimming down, not dying, but the question is, can we, the retail investors, survive until then? 5. These data are a bit creepy... but on second thought, clearing out trash coins might not be a bad thing; at least the market is becoming more transparent. 6. Liquidity, scenarios, actual demand—these are the next differentiation lines. In short, it's about competing with real strength, no fluff. 7. Is it considered late to start increasing your BTC holdings now? It feels like many people have already laid out their positions early. 8. Killing illusions doesn't mean killing the crypto world; this conclusion is quite sobering. Many people bought into those illusions.
