Most new token projects perform terribly, retail investors face huge losses, calling for lower valuations and protection of token ownership.
This chart runs through March 31, 2026, so marked to current prices.
95% being underwater in this environment isn't surprising, the whole market is there.
But the FDV collapse on the worst performers is brutal:
→ ALMANAK launched at $90M FDV, now at ~$2.2M, 97.5% drawdown
→ FRAG launched at $125M FDV, now under $2M, 98%+ gone

High float, fair entry, governance that actually meant something to holders. The structure was just different.
Ignas's conclusion is the right one, lower launch valuations and real token ownership rights. Until that becomes the baseline, this chart just repeats with different ticker names.
