October was supposed to be Uptober.
Then Oct 11 hit.
$19B liquidated. 1.6M accounts rekt. Altcoins down 60–80% before most people even woke up.
The worst part? Most of those tokens are still in the dirt 7 months later.
Not because of the crash. Because they were never built to survive one. 🧵
Your product ships. Users come in. The team is building. And the token is still down 60% from launch. Nobody talks about why this happens, so here's the honest answer.
This is what we do at 5PL - algorithmic market making across CEX and DEX, built to create the kind of market environment where a good product can actually be reflected in price. We put our own capital in alongside yours, so our incentive is the same as yours: a market that grows and holds. If your token is underperforming what your product deserves, the problem is probably structural - not fundamental. What does your current order book depth look like? Tell us!

In 2025, 84.7% of token launches ended below TGE price - median down 71%.
One of the most common reasons: founders signed MM agreements they didn't fully understand.
Here's the 5-question checklist we wish every team ran before signing. 🧵
Q5: What does success look like - for them? If they can't clearly articulate how they make money while you grow, their incentives aren't aligned with yours.
Save this. Share it with any founder about to sign.
The Fed just got a new chair. CPI at 3.8%, PPI at 6.0% - both three-year highs.
The Clarity Act is weeks from being signed.
Two of the biggest structural shifts crypto has seen in years, landing at the same time. When the dust settles, capital doesn't flow into the market broadly - it finds projects with real product, clean market structure, and liquidity built to scale.
The moment is coming. Is your project ready for it?
