Market impact and token holder considerations
This large-scale token unlock event, with a total value of $1.543 billion, represents one of the most substantial releases in recent months. The impact on circulating supply varies widely, from TIA’s substantial 81.68% to Dogecoin’s minimal 0.06%, demonstrating different approaches across projects. These unlocks could influence the token prices of the respective projects, particularly for those releasing significant portions of their supply.
This week’s total is considerably higher than last week’s $407 million token unlocks, led by Metars Genesis (MRS). Token holders are advised to monitor these unlocks closely, as they may affect market dynamics and asset valuations.
