Wu said that, according to CoinGecko statistics, the number of failed cryptocurrencies in 2025 reaches 11,564,909, compared to only 2,584 in 2021; over the past few years, the number of failed cryptocurrencies has grown tenfold or even hundredfold. In the fourth quarter of 2025 alone, 7.7 million tokens collapsed, accounting for 34.9% of all recorded project failures.
