Crypto Archive November 2025: Stablecoins, Dead Tokens, and Real Airdrops

When you look at stablecoins, digital assets pegged to real-world currencies like the U.S. dollar or Mexican peso. Also known as pegged tokens, they’re the backbone of crypto trading, not speculation. In November 2025, BTC Sprint dug into the truth behind them—not the hype. Some, like JPYC and MXNt, were built for daily use but never took off. Others, like USDC and DAI, kept their promises with real reserves and open audits. This isn’t about which coin has the flashiest website—it’s about which ones still work when you need to move money fast, cheap, and without banks.

But not every token made it. dead crypto tokens, crypto projects that stopped updating, lost all trading volume, and vanished from community discussions. Also known as zombie coins, they clutter crypto trackers and trick new investors into chasing ghosts. We called out UNN, BEM, VALI, EDRC, and DEGA—each with $0 volume, no team updates, and no path forward. These aren’t just low-priced coins. They’re digital tombstones. Meanwhile, crypto airdrops, free token distributions given to users for past activity or participation. Also known as retroactive rewards, they’re one of the few ways regular people still get ahead in crypto. We sorted the real ones—like the Age of Tanks NFT drop and the retroactive Uniswap payouts—from the scams pretending to be from CoinMarketCap or KuCoin. You don’t need to guess anymore.

Behind all this is a bigger story: Bitcoin ETFs are now mainstream. Institutions aren’t just watching—they’re holding Bitcoin like gold. El Salvador still owns over 6,100 BTC, even after reversing its legal tender move. Iran uses mining to bypass sanctions. And DeFi protocols like Zephyr and POP Chain are trying to build new systems without banks. But most of the noise? It’s dead. The real action is in the quiet ones—the ones with liquidity, audits, and actual users.

What you’ll find below isn’t a list of trending coins. It’s a field guide to what actually happened in November 2025. You’ll see exchanges that vanished (MBAex, Forteswap), tokens that promised the moon but delivered nothing (BEMIL, CIV), and airdrops you can still claim (EPCOIN x CMC). No fluff. No promises. Just facts, numbers, and the kind of blunt truth you won’t find on Twitter threads or YouTube ads. This is what crypto looks like when the marketing stops—and the real work begins.
