ChainCatcher message, according to a report by CryptoSlate, Keyrock's report indicates that 90% of token unlocks will have a negative impact on prices, although this effect typically takes 30 days to manifest. Approximately $600 million worth of tokens will be unlocked periodically, allocated to teams, investors, and ecosystem funds. The report emphasizes that traders need to track these unlock schedules, as under-compensated investors may sell off or hedge early, leading to downward price pressure.Events with large unlock volumes (over 5%) will trigger volatility immediately, but their impact is more gradual. Frequent small-scale unlocks, while having a smaller cumulative impact, will continue to exert pressure. In most cases, prices begin to decline 30 days before the unlock, primarily driven by retail expectations and institutional investors' hedging strategies.The category of recipients for the unlocks also affects prices, with team unlocks being the most disruptive due to a lack of coordination, leading to significant drops from individual sell-offs. Ecosystem unlocks, on the other hand, contribute to long-term stability and promote network development, while investor unlocks are usually more controllable, as they employ complex hedging strategies.

ChainCatcher news, Binance Research recently stated in a report that the prevalence of high valuation and low initial circulating supply tokens has been a topic of discussion in the crypto community in recent months. This stems from concerns that such a market structure leaves little sustainable upside for traders after token generation events (TGE).Data from CoinMarketCap and Token Unlocks confirms that the trend of tokens being issued with low circulating supply and high valuation is on the rise. Notably, it is expected that tokens worth approximately $155 billion will be unlocked from 2024 to 2030. If buyer demand and capital flow do not increase correspondingly, a large influx of tokens into the market could create selling pressure.Factors such as private market capital inflow, aggressive valuations, and optimistic market sentiment contribute to the trend of issuing high FDV tokens. The current market landscape requires investors to possess selection and discernment skills when considering the fundamentals of a project (such as token economics, valuation, and product). Project teams may also need to consider the long-term implications of decisions related to token economics design.VCs continue to play a significant role in the crypto industry, collaborating with project teams to ensure fair supply distribution and reasonable valuations.
