BRICS Slashes US Dollar Use to One-Third as Local Currencies Surge in Trade

About one in four crypto tokens launched since 2021 have failed in the first 
quarter of this year amid a crypto market downturn and token creation becoming 
easier than ever, says crypto data platform CoinGecko.
Since 2021, nearly 7 million cryptocurrencies have been listed on CoinGecko&#8217;s 
token tracking tool GeckoTerminal, and over half, or 3.7 million tokens, &#8220;have 
since stopped trading and are considered failed,&#8221; CoinGecko research analyst 
Shaun Paul Lee said in an April 30 report.
&#8220;Alarmingly, the first quarter of 2025 alone saw the collapse of 1.8 million 
tokens,&#8221; he added, which is &#8220;the highest number of failures recorded in a 
single year.&#8221; It also comprises just under half of all failures and represents 
a quarter of all tokens launched since 2021.
CoinGecko recorded tokens with at least one trade before going defunct and 
only Pump.fun tokens that graduated, or completed the token creation 
platform&#8217;s bonding curve.

Lee linked the recent token die-off to &#8220;broader market turbulence&#8221; after 
Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration in January, which saw Bitcoin (BTC) hit a peak 
high but was followed by a sharp downturn in the crypto market.
## More crypto tokens used to survive
Last year saw the second-highest number of token failures at 1.3 million, and 
in comparison, Lee said that the three previous years had a much lower 
attrition rate.
Lee attributed the ballooning number of tokens and their failures to the token 
creation tool Pump.fun, &#8220;which simplified the process of creating tokens, 
leading to a flood of memecoins and low-effort projects entering the market.&#8221;
Pump.fun went online in January 2024. CoinGecko&#8217;s report shows that last year 
had the largest number of new crypto tokens with over 3 million launched, 
compared to 2023, which saw just over 835,000.
&#8220;Before the launch of Pump.fun in 2024, cryptocurrency failures numbered in 
the low six digits. Project failures between 2021 and 2023 made up just 12.6% 
of all cryptocurrency failures over the past five years,&#8221; Lee said.

Pump.fun&#8217;s graduation rate, where token trading moves off the site, has never 
been particularly high, with roughly 98% of tokens failing.
The platform&#8217;s best-performing week so far was in November 2024, when 1.67% of 
memecoins moved on to the open market.

CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong said in a March 6 report that memecoin investor 
interest appears to have cooled after a series of bad launches, noting the 
fallout from the Libra (LIBRA) token launch.
Pump.fun had a weekly trading volume high after the launch of Trump&#8217;s memecoin 
on Jan. 18, but both crypto and stock markets were hit with extreme volatility 
starting in March following Trump&#8217;s threats of sweeping tariffs.

Bitcoin Price Rally Incoming? Bulls Target $95K and Beyond

Crypto analyst Cryptokijker has revealed that the Dogecoin price is poised for 
a breakout amid massive whales’ accumulation. The analyst also revealed the 
price targets that DOGE could reach following this breakout. Dogecoin Price 
Poised For Breakout Above $0.17 In a TradingView post, Cryptokijker predicted 
that the Dogecoin price is poised for a breakout above $0.1790. The analyst 
revealed that the targets on this potential breakout are $0.1840 and $0.1920. 
He noted that the price at this level is showing a neutral-bullish structure 
after the recent breakout above the Previous Day Low (PDL). Related Reading: 
Crypto Analyst Says Dogecoin Is Repeating History – Here’s What Happened The 
analyst also highlighted a hidden bullish divergence spotted on the Relative 
Strength Index (RSI), indicating strength beneath the surface. This Dogecoin 
price prediction comes amid a massive accumulation of DOGE by whales. He noted 
that smart money has been accumulating heavily within the discount zone 
between $0.15 and $0.16, which supports this bullish bias. The analyst 
observed that the break of structure on the chart signals the start of a 
markup phase. He further remarked that the volume profile supports the 
accumulation-to-expansion transition. Meanwhile, the strong support confirmed 
at the $0.1760 zone aligns with previous discount accumulation, and the 
momentum building above the PDL suggests that the Dogecoin price could sustain 
this bullish momentum. Market participants will also be watching the 
psychological $0.2 level for the Dogecoin price on this potential breakout. 
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that DOGE could rally towards its all- 
time high (ATH) if it can secure a monthly close above $0.20. The analyst 
remarked that such a breakout would signal strong bullish momentum and 
potentially attract increased investor interest. It is worth mentioning that 
crypto analyst Master Kenobi also recently predicted that the Dogecoin price 
could reach a new ATH by June. He stated that the foremost meme coin could hit 
as high as $0.9 on the rally to a new ATH. Other Factors That Support A DOGE 
Breakout Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade stated that a Dogecoin price 
breakout is expected soon, which will send the meme coin higher. This came as 
he noted that DOGE has been moving between different ranges, experiencing both 
false breakdowns and breakouts. The analyst added that the meme coin has now 
returned to its current range, setting the stage for a price breakout. Related
