#数字货币市场洞察 The crypto market is undergoing dramatic changes, and the great liquidation of altcoins has quietly begun

In the coming year, the so-called potential coins and 100x coins that are currently being hyped are very likely to disappear from the market—not just shrink by half, but evaporate completely.

There are about 880 days left until the next Bitcoin halving, and this point in time happens to fall at the bottom of the cycle. If you look at history, you’ll see that this stage in 2013, 2017, and 2021 was always the darkest period of the bear market. But this cycle is even more brutal—mainstream coins have ETFs as a safety net, while no one can set a bottom for altcoins.

Market discourse power has shifted hands. The era when project teams had the final say is over; now, platforms directly control pricing in both primary and secondary markets, and project teams have become mere workers. With no funds and no incentive to support token prices, you’ll notice more and more altcoin projects dumping tokens at low prices—liquidating at 40% off, 60% off, or even lower. Even insiders are running away—what can you expect from such coins?

Market makers are secretly accumulating while also hedging and shorting via derivatives; the altcoin sector is undergoing a systemic liquidation. Those so-called rebound rallies? Frankly, they're just exit opportunities for these players. Moving forward, only two types of coins will survive: mainstream coins backed by ETFs, and ecosystem tokens deeply tied to the platforms.

The narrative of turning things around by holding altcoins long-term is outdated. Now, it’s a brutal game of capital; coins without backing or resources are bound to be eliminated. There might be a short squeeze in November or December, but afterward, altcoins will make you fully realize the reality of the market. If you want to move forward steadily, pay more attention to mainstream coins and platform ecosystem tokens—don’t get blinded by the altcoin hype. The ones who make money in the end are always those who see the direction clearly before making a move.

Wake up, stop buying into scam coins, even the project teams are跑路 --- This round is really different. Mainstream coins have ETF protection, scam coins are just waiting to be slaughtered --- Project teams clearing out at 40% and 60% discounts? Haha, it was obvious long ago --- Talking about 100x coins, they've long been exploited by market-making institutions as liquidity fish --- From now on, it's the era of ETF coins and ecosystem tokens. Don't expect to turn things around --- Insiders are all selling off, and you're still not running? You deserve to be liquidated --- Rebound in November and December? Wake up, that's just their final wave of selling --- There's nothing wrong with saying "wait for the right direction before acting," but unfortunately most people can't see clearly --- Coins without background or resources should have been退出 long ago --- This is the true market reality, brutally harsh

Same old rhetoric... but crude as it sounds, it's true—alts really are dying.

It should have been cleaned up long ago; altcoins are just a game of musical chairs. --- The project teams themselves are dumping and running away, and you still expect retail investors to hold the line? What a joke. --- The dream of 100x returns should have ended years ago; playing with altcoins now is just giving money to institutions. --- Coins backed by ETFs and ecosystem tokens are indeed more resilient, the altcoin space is just too murky. --- Insiders are dumping at low prices—if that’s not obvious enough, I don’t know what is. --- Absolutely right. The rebound in November and December was just an exit window—don’t be the last one holding the bag. --- The capital game is over; tokens without platform backing really have no future. --- Those 100x stories from the past are now just playbooks for fleecing retail investors. --- Stick with major coins for stability, don’t get caught by the altcoin rebound trap.

All the project teams are running away, isn't it obvious? You should have sold everything a long time ago.

FUD about altcoins again. Honestly, this time might really be different. It's becoming clearer and clearer—the platforms are the new whales. Project teams are all running away, what do you have left to bet on? Uh... are my dozen or so coins doomed? Wait, how long can this ETF wave last? Don’t let there be another reversal. Honestly, should have realized it earlier—coins without backing simply can’t survive. Things are really starting to bleed on the altcoin side, some friends are losing badly. We’re all just betting on the next dark horse, but hearing you say this... it feels shaky. I just want to ask, do platform tokens count as ecosystem coins?

Damn, they're dumping altcoins again? What am I supposed to do with my coins? --- Sounds pretty harsh, but it's too late to regret now—I'm already stuck holding the bag. --- Ugh, really? Rely on long-term holding to recover? I've already lost hope a long time ago. --- The platform's pricing power is definitely ruthless, and the part about project teams becoming mere workers really hits hard. --- So should I buy the dip now or sell everything? I'm kinda confused. --- Seeing the project teams themselves dumping their tokens, that's honestly a clear signal. --- ETF and ecosystem coins? I'm starting to consider those two; can't afford to play with altcoins anymore. --- This article is basically telling us retail investors to face reality, huh?

Even the project teams are dumping their tokens—are you still hoping for a comeback from altcoins? Wake up, everyone. --- It's that season again when retail investors get wiped out on schedule. This playbook has been used so many times. --- Honestly, if you're still going all-in on microcaps right now, it takes some guts. --- Market makers are accumulating on one side and shorting on the other, while we're here just watching the price pumps. --- Even the project teams are starting to liquidate and run—how much clearer can the signal get? --- Mainstream coins have ETFs backing them, while altcoins don't even have a safety net. That's the difference. --- Primary and secondary market pricing power has shifted hands; project teams are just wage earners now. This market is harshly realistic. --- Don't wait—after that short squeeze in November, it's been nothing but a sea of red. --- Those stories of 100x coins are outdated. Now it's all about who has the strongest backing. --- Platform ecosystem tokens and mainstream coins are the only way to survive; everything else is just a holding area for bagholders. --- It's a brutal capital game—coins without resources are forced out. That's the harsh reality.

Damn, the project team is already selling at a 60% discount? This is exactly what I meant by the "retail investor harvester" kicking in.
