Aptos leads with $29M Unlock
The biggest release of the week will be Aptos on September 11. A total of approximately $28,96 million worth of tokens will be released, representing 0.98% its circulating supply. Aptos is the most dominant figure on this week’s unlocking calendar, despite the fact that the percentage is less than 1%.
Aptos released 11.31 million tokens (45.24 millions) to the market on July 12. This represents 1.76% of the circulating supply. The release came after May and June unlocks worth $65 million and $53 to $59 million respectively.
It’s interesting to note that the price reaction to previous unlocks has been mixed. They ranged from a 3.6% rise in April to a drop of 7.8% in May. The July tokens have been distributed to the community as well as core contributors, investors, and the foundation.
APT is currently trading at $4.22. This represents a 1.7% drop in the last day. The token has been in a downward spiral for the last year, with a 27% decline.
The percentage of unlocks for IO and PEAQ is higher
IO and PEAQ are also set to release significant tokens. IO’s unlock is scheduled for September 11 and amounts to $5.17million, which is 5% of the circulating supply. PEAQ will unlock $4.94 millions on September 12, representing 7.28%. Both are notable for their higher percentage impact than Aptos.
Additional Unlocks for Smaller Projects
Two other projects BB and AGI will also see tokens released, although in smaller quantities. BB will release tokens worth $3.57million on September 10. This represents 6.67% circulation. AGI will unlock $1.46million on September 11, representing 1.78 percent of supply.
The releases this week will include less than $1.2million from other projects such as COPI, GLMR and ACE. These unlocks, while smaller in value, continue to add additional supply to the market.
Token unlocks can have a significant impact on liquidity and price. When insider allocations are released, the markets often expect increased selling pressure.
