Unleashing Crypto Projects: An Explosive Growth on GeckoTerminal
Soaring Count of Cryptocurrency Ventures Linked to Pump.fun Debut, Says CoinGecko
In a revolutionary leap for the digital currency world, the number of crypto projects has skyrocketed by an incredible 1500% over the past four years! According to a recent report by CoinGecko, the pioneering market aggregator, a staggering 6.9 million crypto projects were launched and listed on their decentralized exchange (DEX) tracker, GeckoTerminal, by 2025.
Just four years ago, the total stood at a mere 428,383 projects.
This astounding surge is primarily linked to Pump.fun, an innovative Solana-based cryptocurrency launchpad. By offering an easy-to-use platform for users to deploy memecoins without requiring extensive technical knowledge or substantial capital, Pump.fun has fueled the creation of over 10 million tokens since its debut last year [1], [5].
However, not all projects thrive in the fast-paced crypto world. In fact, more than half of them flopped. CoinGecko reports that 3.7 million of the 6.9 million cryptocurrencies listed on GeckoTerminal since 2021 have stopped trading and failed.
"A whopping 52.7% of all cryptocurrencies on GeckoTerminal have failed, with the majority occurring during 2024 and early 2025."
The figure climbed dramatically during early 2025. 1.8 million tokens collapsed in Q1 2025 alone, amounting to a staggering 49.7% of all recorded project failures from 2021 to 2025. This decline may be linked to broader market turbulence, particularly following the 2025 inauguration of former president Donald Trump, which coincided with a downturn in the crypto market [2].
