According to Token Unlocks data, a significant number of locked tokens will be released in various altcoins this week. With nearly $20 million worth of locked tokens scheduled to be released between June 5 and June 11, market participants are anticipating potential impacts on the cryptocurrency world. Here are the details…
What is the importance of Unlock in the cryptocurrency space?
cryptocoin.com As we have also reported, token unlocking refers to the process by which previously restricted or locked tokens in cryptocurrency projects become available for trading or transfer. During lockdown periods, tokens are held by project teams or early investors to avoid instant selling. Once the lockdown period expires, the tokens are “unlocked” and can be freely traded or transferred. Unlocking tokens risks creating selling pressure. This points to the risk of affecting the token price and market sentiment. In other words, these developments can affect the market.
