Unlock means the release of tokens that were previously frozen according to the terms of investment rounds or other fundraising programs.
Usually, the team carefully plans the tokenomics to avoid putting significant pressure on sellers at various #unlock stages and thus prevent the collapse of the token price. However, certain factors, such as a lack of liquidity or early investors taking profits immediately after token unlock, can significantly impact the asset's quotes.
