Newly Listed Tokens Defy Market Trends in 2025
The dawn of 2025 has seen a remarkable shift in the cryptocurrency landscape, where freshly launched tokens on major exchanges are defying the overarching market pessimism. These digital assets are showcasing significantly stronger returns compared to traditional Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), and are even surpassing established benchmarks such as gold, stocks, and the renowned Bitcoin (BTC).
Rising Against the Odds: A Dynamic Start to 2025
Initially, the year was met with enthusiasm, fueled by anticipated interest rate cuts and prospects of clearer regulatory landscapes. However, the cryptocurrency market soon encountered bearish trends, driven by intensifying macroeconomic challenges and the downfall of several notable meme coins.

Crypto Listings Outperform Traditional Markets
In a report shared with Finbold on April 3 by CMC Research, it was revealed that the performance of crypto listings on prominent exchanges is exceeding that of traditional stock markets. This outperformance is evident in both return on investment (ROI) and the proportion of new listings that yield positive gains. The study examines seven top-tier exchanges: Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, OKX, Bitget, Gate, and KuCoin.
The Illusion of Guaranteed Gains and the Truth of Impressive Performance
While some investors might anticipate immediate profits from newly listed tokens, the reality is far more complex. Similar to IPOs in the stock market, the success of crypto listings is influenced by a myriad of factors including the macroeconomic climate, regulatory developments, event-driven risks, timing, and portfolio management strategies.
Despite rigorous listing standards, exchanges face criticism when certain token launches fail to meet expectations. Nevertheless, when juxtaposed with traditional IPOs, crypto exchanges have consistently demonstrated higher success rates.
A Comparative Analysis of Positive ROIs
In the 180-day period concluding on March 2, 2025, a notable 68.82% of tokens listed on major exchanges achieved a positive return on investment. This figure notably surpasses the performance of the NYSE and NASDAQ, where only 54.55% and 51.46% of IPOs, respectively, concluded in profitable territory.
Surpassing Bitcoin and Traditional Benchmarks
During this timeframe, the average ROI for newly listed tokens on the seven leading centralized exchanges was recorded at 80.81%. This impressive performance eclipsed Bitcoin’s 59.54%, outperforming it by 35%, and delivered over fivefold the returns of gold, which lagged at a modest 14.99%.
Cautionary Notes for Investors
Despite these promising figures, investors are advised to tread carefully. The crypto market is fraught with external risks, and thorough research should precede any investment in new listings.
