Are you taking a tumble in the crypto market? You're definitely not fighting alone. Data from CoinGecko painfully reveals how absurd the rollercoaster has been over the past two years in this industry.

Looking at 2024 and 2025 together, it's like two parallel worlds:

Last year, even pigs could fly. Out of the eight main narratives, seven were skyrocketing—AI tokens surged 2939%, Meme sector exploded 2185%, RWA (Real-World Asset Tokenization) increased 819%. Back then, buying blindly was like picking up money; anything could grow exponentially. The only exception was Layer2, which went against the trend and declined 20%, even earning the nickname "King of Breaks."

This year, the scene has completely changed. Out of eleven major narratives, only RWA, Layer1, and the "Made in America" concept are still rising. The rest? All in the red. The worst hit is DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure), which was cut in half twice, dropping 76% from its high, looking painful to watch.

The only narratives that have truly survived and continued to make money across two cycles are RWA and Layer1. These two seem to have become the real chips for long-term play.
