More than 10% of Altcoins disappeared during the market cleansing that lasted for the past two months.

In the past two months, the crypto market has witnessed a large-scale cleansing, eliminating weak altcoins. According to the latest report from analysis company Alphractal, data from CoinMarketCap shows that 10.5% of the active cryptocurrencies have disappeared since March.

This figure is equivalent to more than one in ten tokens being delisted or completely ceasing operations — a sign that the process of cleaning up the market is occurring strongly as the market begins to recover from a prolonged period of declining prices.

Eliminate failed, fraudulent, and illiquid projects

The wave of disappearance of tokens is driven by various reasons. Failed experiments, development teams abandoning projects, and obvious scams are among the main reasons. In addition, illiquid tokens with no significant trading volume are also being removed from the crypto market.

The prolonged price decline in the crypto market from January to April 2025 has put pressure on many projects to withdraw or change direction. Some projects have undergone restructuring or shifted to other blockchains and business models, causing the initial tokens to become obsolete.

This comprehensive restructuring process is eliminating low-quality assets while alleviating unnecessary burdens on the crypto ecosystem.

Natural selection: The market is becoming increasingly stringent

Although this cleansing may cause concern for altcoin investors, it is essentially a step forward in the maturation process of the crypto market. According to Alphractal, this cleansing brings positive benefits by eliminating tokens that rely solely on hype and retaining projects with real practical value.

For investors pursuing short-term profits, this process of "natural selection" presents new risks. However, for the entire crypto market, this is a signal indicating progress towards a more sustainable and reliable market.

In the context of 2025 continuing to unfold, only those projects that can adapt well and possess strong financial resources will be able to survive and thrive.
