WHAT IT MEANT FOR YOU?
1. Short‑term: Expect price pressure and increased volatility around unlock dates. Liquidation from early stakeholders is possible, especially in smaller projects.
2. Long‑term: Tokens with strong fundamentals and growing utility (like APT, AVAX) may absorb supply shock better.
3. Broader market: Despite a large total (~$3B), reduced unlock volume from previous months may moderate impact—unless major macro trends shift sentiment dramatically.
4. Investor mindset: Focus on token utility, distribution transparency, and market demand to assess whether an unlock is bearish or benign in long term.
If you're following or holding any of these tokens (especially $ENA , SUI, APT, $AVAX , $IMX ), it’s worth monitoring on‑chain movement, trading volume trends, and news around token lockup conditions to plan your timing strategically.
