Why token unlocks happen and their implications on project price
Token unlock events take place to establish a controlled and stable token distribution process. At the same time, it helps align incentives, while at the same time ensuring the project’s long-term success.
Some cryptocurrency projects also unlock their tokens at regular intervals in a gradual attempt to:
- Distribute tokens
- Incentivize participation
- Build community confidence
- Fund project development
- Enforce vesting periods to prevent immediate selling
Token unlocks are typically bearish catalysts and can, therefore, impact token prices. Particularly, when a project holds a voluminous tokens event, and these allocations are sold immediately, it could lead to a decrease in price due to increased supply.
In the same way, when tokens are unlocked gradually and used for project development or that the recipients turn out to be long-term investors, it can positively influence price stability and growth for the token.
