Three Cryptocurrencies Will Unlock Over $150 Million in Tokens This Week, Which Cryptocurrency Traders Should Avoid

These unlocks have the potential to flood the market, leading to increased selling pressure and significant price fluctuations.

Three cryptocurrencies are set to unlock a combined total of over $150 million in tokens this week, an event that could have a significant impact on their respective prices.

According to data from TokenUnlocks.app, seven-day cliff unlocks will amount to $181.35 million. Three protocols will release $149.48 million in tokens this week, out of the seven days of cliff unlocks, while nine projects will have substantial seven-days cliff unlocks.

Arbitrum (ARB) to unlock $85M in tokens

Among the seven-day unlocks, Arbitrum (ARB) will have the highest unlock in USD value, with an $85.37 million supply inflation. The event will increase Arbitrum’s circulating supply by 3.2% on June 16, likely creating a selling pressure.

The event will see 92.65 million ARB released from vesting contracts reserved for the team and private investors. Out of the total, the former will receive 56.13 million ARB, worth $51.72 million, while the latter will get $33.65 million of 36.52 million tokens.

As reported, Arbitrum unlocks a similar amount of tokens each month, leading to a yearly inflation of over 35%. In May, Finbold reported the same 92.65 million ARB unlock, valued at $92.44 million. Hence, the seven-day event will see a month-over-month loss of $7.17 million in the value of the tokens being unlocked.

Space ID (ID) and Pixel (PIXEL) seven-day unlocks

Finally, Space ID (ID) and Pixel (PIXEL) seven-day unlocks will be the second and third-largest seven-day crypto unlocks this week.

Vesting contracts will release 78.49 million ID on June 22, valued at $44.45 million. The event will inflate Space ID’s supply by 18.2%, marking the highest seven-day token unlock. Furthermore, 54.37 million PIXEL will enter the market on June 19, inflating the project’s supply by 7% at a $19.66 million valuation.

However, crypto traders will attempt to speculate on the economic effects these unlocks and sell-offs may have on price, which could lead to increased volatility and a worse potential risk-reward ratio. The market is influenced by multiple factors and is ultimately unpredictable; hence, proper risk management is crucial, including learning when to avoid trading specific cryptocurrencies.

Finbold reminds its readers that the seven-day unlocks are subject to change, and the seven-day rolling average is calculated using the data available at the time of writing. The seven-day cliff unlocks are a snapshot of the seven-day period and might not fully capture all token unlocks.
