An ARK Invest researcher said more cryptocurrency projects are likely to close as competition increases across the digital asset market.
The researcher said many projects have struggled to build sustainable businesses despite growing interest in blockchain technology.
The researcher said the crypto industry is expected to consolidate as investors focus on projects with stronger products and long-term adoption.
The report said smaller projects with limited funding or weak user growth could face the greatest pressure.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC), Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) and other established blockchain networks are expected to remain the strongest players as the market evolves.
The findings suggest the crypto industry will continue to mature as weaker projects exit the market and larger ecosystems expand.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $1,910.41.
A CoinGecko analysis shows most crypto tokens have failed, with 2025 accounting for the vast majority of project collapses.
