As the year-end sprint phase approaches, market liquidity around Christmas has noticeably tightened, and the pace of listing new tokens on major trading platforms has significantly slowed down. Even a leading exchange known for its rapid listing speed has hit the brakes. Binance, on the other hand, remains steady—apart from launching the KGST stablecoin, the spot market has not seen any new projects for nearly a month.

This is actually easy to understand: the liquidity shrinkage at the end of the year is a routine operation, market participation declines, and the ability to absorb new tokens weakens. Exchanges naturally need to adjust their pace; being cautious is not a bad thing.

The question is—at the start of 2026, will this wave of token listings rebound? When will liquidity return to normal levels? These are the concerns of market participants right now. The end of the year may seem calm, but everyone is actually waiting for signals for the new year.

End-of-year crypto freeze wave, I've long gotten used to it. It was the same story in 2018, and now I'm much more calm. --- What are you waiting for, a rebound in January? Wake up, history never repeats itself exactly, it only rhymes. --- Liquidity shrinking is just right; this way, they can shake off the bagholders. I'm already prepared for being harvested. --- Binance's silence over the past month is more valuable than the listing wave itself. Truly. --- Rebound in the 2026 new coin listing wave at the start of the year? I bet five bucks it's still the same old pattern of harvesting the chives. --- I've seen through it; at the end of the year, it's time to rest. Don't fuss around, holding coins over the holidays is the most comfortable. --- This cycle has gone on so many rounds, now I can tell that when I smell liquidity shrinking, I'm about to get slaughtered. --- Waiting for signals? Even when the signal comes, it's too late. You're always confused when buying and regretful when selling.

The crypto world is like this: it gets freezing at the end of the year, and when the new year begins, it's a whole different story.
