| In the world of cryptocurrency, there is a fine line between a breakthrough and a bust. If you've been following the markets since the 2021 bull run, you know that the Wild West of digital finance has claimed more than its fair share of casualties. | According to recent data from CoinGecko, the numbers are staggering: over 50% of all cryptocurrencies launched since 2021 have already failed. We are talking about millions of projects that went from to the moon to total zero. | As an investor, if you want to survive this space, you need to stop chasing the shiny new toy and start following the money. Here is my take on the crypto graveyard and why your best bet is to stick with the giants in crypto. | The Great Crypto Cleanup | When the markets were hot in 2021, everyone with a laptop and a dream thought they could launch a token. But the reality is harsh. Since 2021, more than 3.7 million cryptocurrencies have died. | | | | In 2024 alone, we saw over 1.3 million projects vanish. By the first quarter of 2025, that number spiked even higher, with 1.8 million projects failing in just three months. Most of these were low-effort meme coins launched on platforms like pump.fun, designed to capture 15 minutes of fame before the liquidity vanished and the creators moved on. | But it isn't just the small fish. We've seen entire ecosystems crumble. Remember Terra LUNA and its stablecoin UST? | That was a $40 billion wipeout that sent shockwaves through the industry. It proved an important lesson that any crypto company can fail. From FTX to Celsius, the too big to fail mantra doesn't apply here. | After investing in this space since 2017, I had thoughts of seeing my penny cryptocurrencies turn into millions. After seeing many altcoins barely move the needle, I focused on the blue-chip cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum. | | The headlines that actually moves markets | | Tired of missing the trades that actually move markets? | Every weekday, you'll get a 5-minute Elite Trade Club newsletter covering the top stories, market-moving headlines, and the hottest stocks — delivered before the opening bell. | Whether you're a casual trader or a serious investor, it's everything you need to know before making your next move. | Join 200K+ traders who read our 5-minute premarket report to see which stocks are setting up for the day, what news is breaking, and where the smart money's moving. | Click Here to Join Now | By joining, you'll receive Elite Trade Club emails and select partner insights.

When 97% of meme coins fail, you aren't investing. You're playing a lottery where the house always wins. These projects often lack utility, security, and most importantly, longevity. They are built on hype, and when the hype dies, so does your capital. | Over 98% of pump.fun tokens show signs of being rug pulls or pumps-and-dumps. | Follow the Institutional Money | If you want to build real wealth in crypto, stop looking at what's trending on social media and start looking at where the world's largest financial institutions and countries are putting their billions. | Smart money doesn't gamble on FrogCoin or SafeMoon 2.0. They are moving into established, regulated, and liquid assets. This is why we've seen the explosion of Crypto ETFs. These funds aren't just for show. They represent a massive shift in how the world views digital assets. | Where should you be? | Bitcoin (BTC) - This is the king for a reason. With Bitcoin dominance around 58-59%%, it remains the ultimate store of value. It has the longest track record, the highest security, and is the primary target for institutional adoption. Ethereum (ETH) - The backbone of decentralized finance (DeFi) and smart contracts. Despite the noise from competitors, Ethereum remains the world's computer that institutions trust. Solana (SOL) - While more volatile than the big two, Solana has proven its resilience and speed, attracting significant developer interest and institutional attention. Even strong layer-1s from 2021 have struggled to keep pace with BTC/ETH institutional flows.
| The Bottom Line | I lean heavily into Bitcoin because it is the only asset in this space that has truly stood the test of time and regulation. | The crypto graveyard is filled with people who tried to get rich quickly on the next big altcoin. Don't be one of them. Invest where the infrastructure is being built. Invest where the banks and the ETFs are. | Stack BTC & ETH while the market cleans house. The winners are already here—don't the wanna-be's. | In a market where 50% of projects fail within three years, the safest place to be is with the winners that have already crossed the finish line. Stay disciplined, follow the money, and keep your eyes on the long game. |
