IMX token unlock is scheduled for March 25. 18 million IMX tokens worth $26.3 million are set to be unlocked this week. Based on data from the Token Unlocks portal, 9.6 million IMX will be unlocked for project development and 8.4 million for Private Sales.
The March 25 unlock accounts for 0.90% of IMX’s total supply.
After yielding 56% gains for holders, IMX token is likely to witness a correction. With the upcoming token unlock and the corresponding increase in selling pressure, IMX could wipe out its recent gains.
In the week leading up to the Game Developers Conference, IMX price yielded double-digit gains. As the anticipation surrounding gaming tokens declines, IMX price could note a decline.
