Crypto Networks Worth $12B After 97% Crash Still Struggle for Funding

Ten once-prominent cryptocurrency networks are still worth $12 billion after a 97% collapse, but experts question whether users pay enough to keep them running.

The report by Taurex noted that recovery needs across the group range from roughly 21.5x for Avalanche, the largest of the ten at $2.91 billion, to roughly 323x for Internet Computer, which sits furthest from its peak at 99.7% below.

Blockchains fund security, developer grants and network growth through token issuance, validator rewards and treasury spending, models that work best when prices climb.

The strain concentrates unevenly across each network, and foundations decide whether to preserve grants, cut issuance, or protect treasury runway.
