Learn how upcoming token unlocks might influence the cryptocurrency market this week, as significant amounts of altcoins are set to be released.

Upcoming Significant Token Unlocks to Watch

The crypto market is anticipating large token unlocks for several altcoins, which could lead to price fluctuations. Investors are especially keen on the upcoming unlock events for projects like Wormhole, Sui, and Optimism. These three projects alone will see unlocks exceeding $10 million.

Impact on Market Prices

Historically, when an altcoin releases more than 1% of its circulating supply, a price drop follows due to the increased supply.
