This week (April 15-18), million-dollar token unlocks will take place in 8 altcoins! In which altcoins will token unlocks occur and how much?
What Is a Token Unlock?
Token unlock refers to the process of releasing previously locked cryptocurrencies into the market. This usually takes place as part of project team allocations, early investor agreements, or community incentive mechanisms. The goal is to avoid flooding the market with tokens all at once and to help maintain price stability.
Token unlocks increase circulating supply, which can create selling pressure and lead to price volatility. For this reason, investors closely monitor large-scale unlocks. On the other hand, not all unlocked tokens are immediately sold—some investors may adopt a long-term strategy and hold onto their assets.
Token Unlocks and Market Impact
Since token unlocks increase supply in the market, they are closely watched by investors. In low-liquidity projects especially, large unlocks can lead to significant price drops due to selling pressure.
However, not every unlock has a negative effect. Some projects coordinate their unlocks with exchange listings or strategic partnerships to boost demand and help stabilize the price. Therefore, it’s important to consider not only the amount of tokens being unlocked but also the overall market context and project-related news flow.
