The new coin market situation in 2025 is poor, with 84.7% of the 118 new coins having an FDV fall below the issue price, with an average decline of 71%. The market capitalization has dropped from $139 billion to $54 billion, evaporating about $87 billion. Only 18 tokens have pumped, while a few projects like Aster have performed well against the trend, reminding investors to be cautious when selecting undervalued projects.

【Block Rhythm】The new coin market in 2025 is a bit bleak. According to data statistics, among the 118 new coins with TGE this year, 100 of them now have FDV below their issuance price, accounting for 84.7%. In other words, out of every 5 newly issued coins, 4 are trapped.

How exaggerated is the decline? The median drop is 71%. The median market capitalization hasn't fared much better, dropping by 67%. Only 18 tokens (about 15%) managed to rise after issuance, while the rest are either stagnant or continue to fall.

The most heartbreaking are those projects that have fallen more than 90%. There are a total of 15 such “grim reapers”, including Berachain (-93%), Animecoin (-94%), and Bio Protocol (-93%), which were once heavily hyped projects. From these few names, we can see how great the gap was between the market's initial expectations and the reality.

The entire market cap has shrunk quickly: the total FDV at the time of listing was 139 billion USD, and now it is only 54 billion USD. This means that about 87 billion USD of “paper” market value has directly evaporated, accounting for 59%. If the algorithm hadn't eliminated those projects that completely went to zero, the numbers would be even scarier.

However, there are exceptions to everything. A few projects have risen against the trend, mainly those with low initial valuations that are scheduled for issuance in the second half of 2025. For example, Aster increased by 745%, Yooldo Games by 538%, and Humanity also saw a 323% increase. These winners tell us a truth: entering at low levels and avoiding high valuation traps is the correct way to approach new coin investments.

BERA1,47%

ASTER-4,21%

84.7% breakdown? This is the reality. Every time, someone asks me why I don't chase new coins. Now you see the answer. --- Berachain down 93%... These project teams really know how to spin stories. They hyped it up during fundraising, now it's all gone. --- The median decline of 71% indicates that most new coins don't have real fundamentals; it's purely speculation. --- Among projects that can rise by 15%, I wonder how many are just being propped up by whales. How many are truly good news? --- The 87 billion FDV has evaporated just like that. Luckily, I learned smart last year and stayed away from these new tokens. --- With a name like Animecoin, you should know it's just a concept coin. It's high time to wake up. --- For every 5 new coins, 4 get crushed. This data is even worse than I imagined. I really can't believe some people are still chasing new coins.

84.7% breakdown... I told you, we've seen this show back in 2018, the project team's stories never end Another Ponzi scheme aftermath, let's see how many more will run away this year Berachain was hyped up back then, now down -93%, new retail investors are paying their tuition again Who's going to hype up the project this time? Anyway, I no longer believe in high APY Breakdowns happen, I've been through worse, I just want to stay alive until 2025 Four out of five coins die... If you ask me, the project team has already split the money, we're just here lining up to buy coffins The median dropped 71%, I don't even want to comment on this data anymore, it's too typical Are you among the 18 coins that increased? Anyway, it's not me, still holding on to my losses

This is why I would never touch new coins... Wait, which 18 are rising? I want to copy the homework 84.7% fall below the issue price, this number makes my head buzz It's Berachain again, I remember this thing was hyped to the sky last year FDV evaporated 87 billion, it's really a rhythm of losing everything If I had known, I wouldn't have followed the trend, I'm exhausted They should all be blacklisted, how dare they issue new coins

84.7% fall below the issue price, this is the true reflection of Web3, another batch of suckers has matured in the field Berachain, once a "god coin", is now down -93%, can't laugh about it Out of every 5 coins, 4 are losing, luckily I didn't go all in The story of this wave of new coins is a bit outrageous, but the market is just that cruel With such a severe fall below the issue price, it feels like more people will continue to die It's truly a perfect interpretation of "expectation vs reality", no wonder everyone is buying the dip on old coins Out of 100 dumpings, 100, next time we need to be more cautious This data, if released, would scare off newcomers With the fall below the issue price to this extent, is it far from completely zeroing out?

Here we go again, new coin issuance is just gambling, right? The fall below the issue price rate is so high and there are still people rushing in? Wait, has Berachain collapsed like this? I heard people hyping it up last year. But speaking of which, 84.7% fall below the issue price... how ridiculous is this data? It's simply a massive Be Played for Suckers. It's really disappointing relying on these project parties, they hype it up to the sky and end up crashing down.

84.7% fall below the issue price this data is just amazing, this is the current crypto world --- Every 5 coins, 4 are trapped, my goodness, who can withstand this --- Berachain falls 93%? What happened to the initial promotion, this gap is ridiculous --- With such a high fall below the issue price rate, who dares to launch new coins? The guts are really big --- 71% median drop... better not touch new coins, the gambler's mentality is too expensive --- 15 projects fell over 90%, this is called being educated by the market --- Only 15% survive, this probability is harder than winning the lottery --- Another wave of suckers being played for suckers, when will this routine become boring --- What good is being optimistic about a project, in the end, it still becomes a dumb buyer's tool --- Animecoin -94%, no matter how quirky the name is, it can't save the fundamentals

84.7% fall below the issue price, this data is really amazing, it feels like everyone who entered the market this year is just here to give away money. Even a hyped project like Berachain can experience a 93% 50% Slump, which shows what a mess it is. Out of every 5 coins, 4 fall below, that's why I don't touch new coins anymore. History repeats itself, and the events of 2025 can be regarded as a classic textbook on Be Played for Suckers. Just looking at this data reminds me of the past promotions, which now seem like a joke.
