    What is a token unlock in crypto?

    A token unlock releases previously locked coins into circulation. This increases supply, often creating selling pressure that can cause short-term price declines.

    Why do token unlocks often cause price drops?

    Unlocks increase the circulating supply. This can lead to immediate selling from early investors, creating downward pressure on the token’s price.

    Does every token unlock lead to a price decline?

    Not always. While unlocks create potential selling pressure, strong project demand or positive news can sometimes counteract or outweigh the negative impact.
