Why Crypto’s New Token Issuances Are Falling Flat and What Comes Next
In 2025, new crypto token launches dramatically underperformed, with Memento Research reporting that about 85% of 118 tracked issuances traded below their initial valuations and the median token lost more than 70% of its value. The downturn coincided with a depressed altcoin market, a dominant Bitcoin rally, and exchange listings that increasingly acted as bearish signals. Over‑broad airdrops and CEX‑driven distribution flooded tokens with holders lacking genuine product interest, while many projects launched tokens before establishing clear utility. The combination of misaligned incentives and regulatory uncertainty has prompted a shift toward usage‑based token distribution models for future launches.
