How do token unlocks affect a cryptocurrency’s price?

Yep, token unlocks can increase the circulating supply all at once, which often creates selling pressure and drops the price. It’s kind of like supply flooding the market.
 
Early investors and team members might cash out some of their tokens after the unlock, which can cause a price dip if enough of them sell at the same time.
 
On the flip side, if the project is growing and gaining more users, the market might absorb the extra tokens without much of a price drop. It really depends on timing and market conditions.

Exactly! When a project is expanding and attracting new users, the market can often absorb additional tokens with minimal impact on price. Timing and strong demand are key factors in maintaining stability.
 
Token unlocks can lead to significant price fluctuations, as the release of a large supply into the market can increase selling pressure. However, if timed strategically with positive news or developments, they can also drive price growth. How do you think token unlocks should be managed for optimal market stability?
 
In my experience, token unlocks can have a pretty big impact on a cryptocurrency’s price, especially if a large number of tokens are being released. When more tokens enter circulation, it can increase the supply and sometimes put downward pressure on the price if there’s not enough demand to match. That said, it really depends on the project’s popularity and the expectations around the unlock. Have you noticed any specific patterns with token unlocks affecting price in projects you follow?
