Layer 1 and Layer 2 tokens sank in 2025 as users and cash fled to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB Chain like it’s the last dance at the crypto prom. Developer brains stayed busy, but hearts? Those went to BTC. 💾uddled up with BTC and ETH, obviously.
2025’s crash saga 🎬, while Bitcoin flexed and BNB Chain tripled users like, “uh, thanks for the leftovers.” 😎
In 2025, Layer 1 tokens performed like a bad blind date-dead, but the developers kept texting. Per OAK’s research, prices dropped despite brainy dev activity. Classic crypto drama.
Alts Wink at 2026 With “Hope”
BTC was the cool kid on the block, while altcoins faced the reality check montage. 🎬 The report? Not subtle: “Structural weaknesses, y’all. Don’t act like you didn’t see it coming.”
Monthly Active Users took a nosedive (-25.15%). Solana: “Hey, I’m just here to cry.” 😭 94 million users gone. BNB Chain: “Sweat the small stuff” (and took 60% of competitors).
Layer 2s were a bit of a trainwreck too. Base wined and dined capital thanks to Coinbase. Optimism? “Yikes.” TVL tanked as investors said, “Not today, Satan.”
2025 losses = the crypto equivalent of a break-up. Even newer tokens hit rock bottom. Optimism and zkSync? “Optimism? ha! More like pessimism squared.” ⚠️ Only Mantle (MNT) survived… thanks to tight control, not actual value. 👀
Why the crash? Let’s recap in sitcom style: 📺 1) Tokens loaded with unlocks like a coffee order. 2) Zero value-capture hacks. 3) The big boys (BTC/ETH) sucking all the cash like a black hole. 🌌
Dev activity? Still solid. But markets matured-no free Monopoly money for “token of the week.” EVM stack = dev haven. Bitcoin: “Wait, I’m growing developers too?” 🤪 Solana: “I’m winning. STOP ASKING QUESTIONS.”
Revenue? The real MVPs are stablecoins. Tether, Circle, and fee-based derivatives eating the crumbs you dropped. Layer 1s? “Oh right, we’re just here to… exist?” 🥲
2026 outlook: “Generic blockchains = irrelevant.” Unless you’re speed, cost, or security incarnate. Infrastructure tokens? “Face it. You’re stuck in a holding pattern with unlock pressure and no exit strategy.” 🚩
Survival = leading with BTC/ETH + major institutional love. Others? “Trend toward irrelevance, darling. Like a TikTok phase in 2030.” 🕯️ So… stay strong, Layer 1s. Or don’t. Nobody’s stopping you.
