Token Market Battle Royale: The Final Wave of Selling Is Coming, Can You Survive?

Brothers, take my advice. The next year may be the most brutal bear market phase you've ever experienced.

Why? Because the projects fueled by the 2021-2022 funding bubble are about to see their last wave of tokens hitting the market. Massive supply, but demand is scarce—this is the core storyline for the next 12 months.

Everyone has lost, no one has won.

In recent years, the altcoin market has been playing a "lose-lose" game.

Project teams issue low circulating supply tokens, releasing only a small portion to maintain a seemingly high valuation. Looks clever, right? But lock-up periods always end, and once tokens are released, prices inevitably collapse.

Exchanges think that requiring low circulation can protect retail investors, but what they get in return are complaints and steadily declining prices.

Retail investors think they can ride the wave, but end up as bagholders.

Venture capitalists raise funds with fake market caps, and now funding channels are narrowing.

Everyone is scheming, and in the end, everyone loses.

Two attempts at self-rescue, two failures.

The market has tried to correct itself.

The first was the Meme coin revolution—"No VCs, full circulation, absolute fairness." But what happened? Projects with no barriers became havens for exit scams, and 98% of people lost everything.

The second was the MetaDAO model, which heavily protected token holders. Founders lost control, capable teams didn't need this mechanism at all. Plus, the unlimited issuance mechanism made mainstream exchanges hesitant to list.

The market swings back and forth, still unable to find a balance.

Where is the real turning point?

Don’t despair just yet. The darkest hour often signals dawn.

After this wave of supply shock, the market may see three positive changes:

1. Better standards will emerge

After this painful lesson, the industry will develop healthier standards for token issuance and circulation. Those purely designed to fleece retail investors will be naturally eliminated.

2. The利益机制 will be rebalanced

Exchanges, project teams, investors, and token holders must find a distribution method that allows everyone to survive. KPI unlocking, transparent releases, and reasonable lock-ups will become the new normal.

3. Token issuance becomes a strategic choice, not a necessity

In the future, only projects that truly need tokens and can create value will issue them. No longer issuing just for fundraising or exit strategies.

Can you hold on until spring?

The harsh reality is: many people won't make it through the next 12 months.

Projects born in the last bull run will either issue tokens during this period or go bankrupt. Primary market valuations will return to rationality, and new project supply will significantly decrease.

By the end of 2026, the market will undergo a thorough reshuffle.

What you need to do now is not panic, but prepare.

Focus on projects that are still steadily building during the bear market. Avoid tokens with extremely low circulation and inflated valuations. Maintain cash flow and don’t exhaust your ammunition in the final wave of selling.

Remember: the coldest winter often breeds the strongest bull market.

In three years, when we look back, the choices made in 2026 will determine who gets eliminated and who will lead the next cycle.
