This week, $57 million worth of tokens from various projects will be introduced into the circulating supply. dYdX will unlock tokens worth over $12 million.
When a project releases its tokens, some early investors, participants of the pre-seed rounds, team members, and developers cannot sell their holdings in the open market. Those tokens remain locked for a specific vesting period.
But after unlocking, the holders can sell their tokens in the open market. At times, due to increased selling pressure, the price of those tokens might go down.
Supply Pressure Worth Over $57 Million Through Token Unlocks
According to TokenUnlocks, over $57.7 million worth of tokens will be released for circulation during the week through cliff unlocks. While there will be linear unlocks of $21.9 million worth of cryptocurrency per day.
A cliff unlock is when the project introduces a huge supply in the circulation of the tokens in a single day. Whereas linear unlocks are the daily unlocking of a fixed supply for a specific period.
