This week, significant token unlocks are set to impact the crypto market. “Unlocking” in the cryptocurrency world refers to the release of tokens that were previously locked or restricted from being sold or transferred. Such restrictions are often set during initial offerings or as part of vesting agreements to stabilize token prices and incentivize long-term holding. These unlocks can influence market dynamics, as a sudden increase in available tokens might affect supply and demand.
