These Crypto Projects Had Billion-Dollar Valuations, Now They Trade 90% Lower

2026-4-12 14:24

Ten crypto projects that had billion-dollar private valuations now trade at market caps ranging from $7 million to $294 million, according to CryptoRank data.

The gap between last-round venture capital valuations and current market caps ranges from 88% to over 99%. Four of the 10 hardest-hit projects belong to the zero-knowledge proof and Layer 2 sector.

Scroll, and Boba Network Lead the List

Scroll (SCR) tops the ranking with a 99.54% decline. The Ethereum Layer 2 raised $80 million across two rounds led by Polychain Capital, Variant Bain Capital Crypto, and more. Its last-round valuation stood at $1.8 billion.

It now trades at roughly $8.25 million in market cap.

Boba Network follows at -99.26%, while Fuel Network registered a 99.25% drop from a $1 billion valuation.

“These projects have fallen from billion-dollar valuations to nearly zero — a striking example of near-total value destruction. Even backing from Tier-1 VCs like Paradigm, Sequoia, Cbventures, and Multicoin wasn’t enough to protect post-TGE performance,” the post read.

Starknet (STRK) recorded the largest absolute loss on the list. It raised $282.5 million from Paradigm, Sequoia Capital, and Greenoaks Capital at a valuation of $8 billion. Its current market cap sits near $199 million, a 95% decline.

Rounding out the top 10 are Polyhedra (-99.05%), Wormhole (-96.99%), Magic Eden (-96.70%), HashKey Group (-96.46%), Mocaverse (-90.23%), and Immutable (-88.23%).
