    Can't speak to all of them, but it sounds like a few were just pretty dormant and never got mass adoption. QORA, for example, had a crazy amount of coins available - in the billions - but was only traded on Polo and some random Danish site.

    I'd put them in the category of dot-com startups that crashed and burned, though they never even made it far enough to be compared to Pets.com or Webvan.

    That's a good comparison, thanks.

    That said, what was the harm of just letting them sit and collect dust? After all, they require minimal expense and effort to maintain.

      You mean on Polo's part? Probably more pain than it's worth.

      Could also stem from unknowns - such as relationships between the Biz Dev teams on the trading desk and those at the coins themselves.
