90% of new CEX Token listings will fall below their initial price within a year, the report found

A new CoinGecko report found that 90% of newly listed altcoins on highly centralized exchanges delist within 12 months.

The findings paint a grim picture for retail buyers chasing new token listings on the industry's biggest trading platforms.

Most new Altcoin listings lose their value quickly

According to the report, only 32% of new altcoin listings on 12 central exchanges (CEXs) record positive price action after going live. This means that almost two out of three tokens start losing value from the moment they start trading.

Exchange rate data shows significant differences in early performance. Although CoinGecko reports that the South Korean currency has one of the lowest listing rates, Upbit stands out with 67% of its listings. Binance followed with 50%, while Kraken and Gate followed with only 14%.

However, those early advantages quickly faded. On days 30 to 59, tokens remained in positive territory on average only 25% of the time.

“In the long-term frames, this percentage decreases somewhat on all exchanges. The only exception is Coinbase, whose listed coins get a second wind after the half-year mark of being listed on the exchange,” the report read.

Even upbeat winners will eventually lose

Upbeat's footsteps tell a fascinating story. Despite starting with the strongest 30-day performance, each of the newly listed altcoins fell below the initial price between the 300 and 329-day mark.

A 67% to 0% decline suggests that early gains are driven by limited supply rather than sustained demand. At the 12-month mark, less than 10% of listed tokens on most major exchanges remain above their listing price.

Ultimately, the data shows a consistent pattern: Idea-driven rallies around new listings rarely translate into lasting value. While some signals see short-term gains, most struggle to sustain momentum beyond the initial trading window.
