This Is The Biggest Issue With Altcoins This Cycle: Crypto Analyst

In a thread on X, Miles Deutscher, a renowned figure in the crypto analysis sector, has dissected what he views as a critical flaw in the current altcoin market. Addressing his extensive following, Deutscher elaborated on the impact of the rapid increase in the number of new crypto tokens, an issue he believes to be at the core of the altcoins’ underperformance in this cycle. The Proliferation Of Crypto Since April 2024, the crypto landscape has witnessed the introduction of over 1 million new crypto tokens, with a notable half of these being memecoins created primarily on the Solana network. According to Deutscher, the ease of deploying these tokens on-chain contributes to an inflated token count but highlights a deeper issue of market saturation and dilution. Deutscher elaborates, “We now have 5.7 times the amount of crypto tokens than we did during peak bull in 2021. This is a major reason why crypto has been struggling this year, despite Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs.” He likens the excessive issuance of new tokens to inflation, where “the more tokens that launch, the more cumulative supply pressure on the market.” Related Reading: Expert Forecasts Altcoin Market Crash, Suggests Optimal Buy-In Points For Top 10 Cryptos The analyst also sheds light on the dynamics of venture capital (VC) investments in the crypto space, noting the largest quarter for VC funding peaked at $12 billion in Q1 2022, just as the market began to turn bearish. Deutscher criticizes the timing and strategy of VCs, suggesting that while their capital injection is essential for project development, it often leads to market imbalances. “VCs, like retail investors, are opportunists. Their investment timing often aims to maximize returns rather than support sustainable project growth, contributing to cyclical peaks and troughs in the market,” Deutscher explains. He continues to discuss the subsequent market effects, where projects delay launches in unfavorable conditions, only to flood the market when sentiment turns, worsening the dilution. The constant introduction of new tokens not only strains the market’s liquidity but also affects investor confidence, especially among retail investors. Deutscher emphasizes, “The skew towards private markets is one of the biggest and most damaging issues in crypto, especially compared to other markets like equities and real estate.” Related Reading: Flocka Fiasco: Waka Flocka Flame’s Crypto Launch Crashes Into Insider Trading Scandal This environment creates a barrier to entry for new liquidity and leaves retail investors feeling sidelined, a sentiment exacerbated by high-profile failures like LUNA and FTX. Deutscher argues, “If retail investors feel like they can’t win, they won’t play the game, which is why memes have dominated this year—it’s the only meta where retail feels like they have a fighting chance.” Looking forward, Deutscher proposes several strategies to mitigate these issues. Exchanges could enforce better token distribution standards and prioritize larger community allocations. Additionally, adjusting the percentage of tokens unlocked at launch could help manage sell pressure more effectively. “Even if the insiders don’t enforce change, the market eventually will,” Deutscher asserts. He suggests that exchanges should adopt rigorous standards for listing new projects and be equally stringent about delisting those that fail to meet ongoing criteria, thus preserving market integrity and liquidity. In his closing remarks, Miles Deutscher hopes his insights will foster better understanding and prompt a reevaluation of current practices. “Dispersion isn’t the only problem, but it certainly is a major one—and something that needs to be discussed more openly to foster a healthier crypto ecosystem.” At press time, Ethereum (ETH) traded at $3,562.
