Token unlock involves releasing tokens that were previously blocked under fundraising terms. Projects carefully schedule these releases to avoid market pressure and prevent a drop in token prices.
Here are three major token unlocks to keep an eye on next week.
Avalanche (AVAX)
Unlock date: November 18
Number of tokens unlocked: 1.67 million AVAX
Current circulating supply: 407.35 million AVAX
Avalanche, a decentralized blockchain platform, is designed to deliver high performance and scalability for developers creating decentralized applications (dApps) and custom blockchain networks. Its native token, AVAX, plays a central role in the network by facilitating transaction fees, staking, and governance activities.
Next week, Avalanche will dominate the token unlock landscape, with a significant release scheduled for November 18. The project plans to unlock 1.67 million AVAX tokens, valued at over $60 million. These tokens are allocated to the Avalanche Foundation, aiming to support its continued growth and development initiatives.
Oasis (ROSE)
Unlock date: November 18
Number of tokens unlocked: 176 million ROSE
Current circulating supply: 6.72 billion ROSE
Oasis Protocol, a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform, prioritizes privacy and scalability to deliver a versatile infrastructure for developers. With its focus on confidential computation, the platform empowers the creation of privacy-centric decentralized applications (dApps).
On November 18, Oasis will distribute 176 million newly unlocked ROSE tokens to its core contributors, foundation, community, partners, and reserves. This release may influence market sentiment around ROSE, as the additional supply could impact its short-term value. However, ROSE holders remain confident that the event will not negatively impact the token’s price.
