#美国消费者物价指数发布在即 The epic purge unfolds in the crypto market—15.56 million projects declared dead within a year

$ETH $BNB

Uncontestable in the face of numbers: According to CoinGecko data, by the end of 2025, more than half of the global cryptocurrency projects (53.2%) will have completely failed. In just the past 12 months, 15.56 million projects have gone to zero, accounting for 86.3% of the total failures over the past five years. The climax of this disaster occurred in the fourth quarter of last year—just these three months, 7.7 million tokens completely collapsed. The event on October 10, 2025, dubbed the "Liquidation Chain Reaction," became the final straw that broke the camel’s back, triggering a collective project delay.

This is no longer just a shocking number; it feels like the entire industry is undergoing a painful self-cleaning. As the speculative frenzy subsides, shell projects and concept coins have nowhere to hide. The market is squeezing out bubbles and forcing a restart—those that truly survive will be the ones with real applications, solid technology, and transparent governance.

A reminder to everyone: the era of reckless expansion is over. Future opportunities belong only to projects with real substance. Investors should learn to say "no"—reject hollow stories and focus on long-term value that can withstand scrutiny. Winter will eventually pass, but projects that are frozen out will never wake up. Only those that remain are the true cornerstones.

The crypto world in 2026 will be better.

11.56 million? Bro, that number sounds terrifying, it feels like the entire crypto world is undergoing a big cleanup. After this round of cleansing, only the hardcore projects are still alive, all those air coins are gone. Honestly, I got caught in that October last year too, and now looking at these numbers, it’s even more hopeless haha. Wait, are the remaining projects really reliable? Or are they just storytelling again? Basically, it’s just a cycle of getting shaken out and then coming back again, and the ones who really make money are always the big players. But looking at it this way, it’s actually squeezed out all the fluff, so at least next time we won’t have to constantly watch out for a sudden crash.

11.56 million? That number sounds outrageous... But then again, damn it, it should have died a long time ago.

15.56 million? Bro, that's a bit outrageous... But then again, that damn project should have died long ago. --- Just clean it up, anyway my coins are still alive haha. --- Projects that are truly valuable have indeed survived; it's actually a good thing if trash coins die off. --- That's exactly what I've been saying all along—only invest in projects with real utility... Unfortunately, many people can't hear it. --- That wave in October was really intense; I remember the group exploded back then. --- Wait, is this data real... feels a bit exaggerated? --- Will things really get better after the winter? I have my doubts. --- Investors are learning to say no... easy to say, but with such temptation, who can resist? --- Anyway, I only look at the fundamentals now; no matter how good the story, I won't touch it. --- So many projects have died, retail investors' blood debts are written on the blockchain.

15.56 million? Haha, that number sounds like a joke, but it really hits home. Another wave of the era of cutting leeks comes to an end... Cleaning up is fine, anyway those scam coins deserve it, serves them right. The chain reaction in October... I still remember how crazy it was in the group, everyone was dumping. Only genuine projects surviving is the way to go; now we can finally see who's real and who's fake. This wave will probably be quiet for a long time, let's wait and see before jumping in again. It's good if trash projects die out, so newcomers won't keep getting scammed. Does this sound like a signal to buy the dip? Or is it better to wait a bit longer for more stability.
