The year 2025 has posed significant difficulties to crypto investors, with a vast number of projects witnessing instability. While struggling to maintain the value beyond the initial launch thereof, only 12% of 2025’s crypto projects have remained profitable. As per the data from CryptoRank, more than 80% of the crypto projects have failed to sustain profitability in 2025. In this respect, the overall performance of this year has been disappointing for the majority of the investors.
88.18% of 2025’s Token Sales Stay Unprofitable in Long Term
Based on the fundraising data of this year, only 11.82% of the crypto projects have successfully maintained their initial value and remained profitable. On the other hand, a staggering 88.18% remained below that spot. Particularly, there were 63 profitable projects, while the others among the total 533 public token projects failed to benefit holders.
$PUMP Records Biggest Sale, Raising $600M with 2.19x Return at ATH
In this respect, $PUMP experienced one of the largest token events of 2025, raising $600M. Additionally, the project initially provided a notable 2.19x return when it hit the all-time high (ATH) price level. Nonetheless, it is currently trading below the IDO price thereof. At the same time, its ROI is fluctuating around 0.48x, highlighting a sheer dip in its investor confidence.
Apart from that, $MON emerged as another project that struggled in this respect, with its present ROI reaching 0.93x. Additionally, $XPL also shows a similar scenario as its ROI is 0.47x. Nonetheless, up to 58% of the total events during 2025 still offered a robust 3-6x return on significant allocations at the start, but could not sustain that in the long run. As a result, they remained ineffective in retaining investor confidence.
$MYX Becomes Most Profitable Event with 2103x ATH ROI
According to CryptoRank, the $MYX claimed the top position among the most profitable events of 2025. Thus, its ATH ROI touched the stunning 2103x while the project is still hovering around 385x above its event price. Overall, the investment landscape has gone through a hard mode during 2025 amid decreasing attention spans and frail market conditions. This has pushed participants toward faster profit-taking and shorter holding phases.
