Token Unlocks This Week: YZY Dominates With $35.2 Million Release
This week, several cryptocurrency projects will release locked tokens into circulation, with some having a more significant impact than others. The largest unlock by dollar value is YZY, set to release 121 million tokens on August 16 at 3:00 a.m. UTC, representing approximately 22.83% of its current circulating supply.
This substantial relative supply increase could lead to increased volatility for YZY. In contrast, APT's unlock of just 0.66% of its supply is minor and less likely to significantly affect its market price.
The token unlocks are scheduled events where previously locked tokens are released into circulation, often according to a vesting schedule. These tokens may belong to team members, early investors, or ecosystem funds.
