Over 11.6 million tokens โdiedโ in 2025, and it was basically cryptoโs mass extinction
๐ณ Iโm seeing 2025 go down in crypto history not as the year of innovation, but as the year of the biggest wipeout ever.
๐ According to CoinGecko data, more than 11.6 million tokens stopped trading in 2025 alone, meaning they became โdeadโ assets with no active market anymore.
๐งพ The numbers are insane: 11,564,909 tokens were classified as dead, and thatโs 86.3% of all token failures recorded since 2021.
๐ What shocked me most is that just in Q4 2025, over 7.7 million tokens disappeared, like the market basically got deleted overnight.
๐ At the same time, total projects tracked on GeckoTerminal exploded from ~428K in 2021 to 20M+ in 2025, and now the reality is brutal: over 53% of all tokens created in recent years donโt exist as active markets anymore.
๐ The article clarifies that โdead tokenโ doesnโt automatically mean scam, it simply means no more active trading, so this is more like market Darwinism than just rug pulls.
๐ ๏ธ CoinGecko points to 2 big causes: creating tokens became almost free with launchpads and meme tools, and then the market got hit with heavy liquidation cascades that left small tokens with zero buyers.
๐ง My takeaway: 2025 didnโt kill crypto; it killed the illusion that every token deserves to survive, and the market is clearly entering a phase where only tokens with real liquidity and real use will make it.
