During the launch of many crypto projects, initial funding often comes from venture capital (VC) funds or private investors. In exchange for their support, these investors receive tokens, but these are usually locked for a defined period, called vesting. After this period, the tokens are gradually released, which can influence the token price in the event of significant sales. Here is an overview of the main unlocks scheduled for June 2025.
