Dead Coin
a.k.a. Deadcoin, Zombie coin
A cryptocurrency that has been abandoned: no development, almost no trading, and a price near zero.
A dead coin is a project that has flatlined. The developers have gone quiet, the website is down, exchanges have delisted it and trading has dried up to a trickle. Some died slowly from lack of interest; others were rug pulls or outright scams from day one.
Thousands of coins have met this end. Some still trade for fractions of a cent among a few die-hards, which can make a dead coin look like a bargain. It isn't. Its all-time low is usually just a stop on the way down.
Assuming a coin will survive just because it's still listed somewhere. Check whether anyone is actually building, using and trading it.
