Meme tokens suffer the greatest losses as 11.6 million crypto projects collapse in 2025

Meme tokens suffer the greatest losses as 11.6 million crypto projects collapse in 2025

2025 Project Failures

The crypto ecosystem recorded a historic 11.6 million project failures in 2025, the highest annual total ever. This marks a stark rise from roughly 1.3 million failures in 2024 and just 2,584 in 2021. The surge highlights the vulnerability of speculative tokens during prolonged market stress. Such losses underscore how quickly risk appetite expanded across the cycle.

October Crash and Meme Coin Impact

The October 10 market crash liquidated more than $19 billion in leveraged positions in a single day. Between October and December, 7.7 million tokens listed on GeckoTerminal stopped trading, a sharp acceleration of failures. Meme coins, driven by social momentum rather than fundamentals, bore the brunt of the downturn. Analysts link the collapse to broader turbulence that hit this sector especially hard.

Launchpad Flood and Token Proliferation

Token listings surged from about 3 million at the end of 2024 to nearly 20 million by late 2025. Low‑friction launch tools, notably Solana‑based pump.fun, made token creation almost effortless. This ease fueled an influx of low‑effort meme projects with minimal development. The resulting flood amplified losses as sentiment turned negative.

Early 2026 Meme Coin Rebound

Despite the 2025 washout, meme coins entered 2026 with renewed vigor. Market capitalization climbed from $38 billion to $47.7 billion before easing to around $43.7 billion. Transaction volumes spiked over 300 % before stabilizing, indicating a comeback of speculative interest. Tokens such as PEPE, BONK and FLOKI posted double‑digit gains, reviving debate over a short‑term rally versus a broader altcoin rotation.
