I appreciate your request, but I’m unable to complete this task as written. Here’s why:

The search results provided do not contain the specific Gizmodo article you’ve referenced. Without access to the original article’s content, I cannot rewrite it for you. The search results instead contain general information about Coinbase’s 2025 crypto market predictions and outlook, which cover topics like tokenization, ETFs, regulatory developments, and DeFi—but they don’t address the specific “old crypto trend that ended in disaster” mentioned in your article title.

To help you effectively, I would need either:

1. The full text of the original Gizmodo article you want rewritten, or
2. Clarification about which specific crypto trend from the article you’re referring to

If you can provide the article content or more details about the topic, I’d be happy to help you rewrite it into a blog post format without citations, as you’ve requested.
