The Impact of Token Unlocks on Markets with Andrew Dyer | The Story

Messari's Unqualified Opinions

One of the fundamentally unique pieces about crypto business models is the concept of token unlocks - or, the idea that rewards for contributions to the project, while fixed in total number, become available in large unlocks of sections over time.

But there’s still a fair amount of inconsistency in how these unlock schedules are designed - and therefore what behavior surrounds unlock events.

So, with several large token unlocks coming up in the rest of 2024, Andrew Dyer dove deep into the historical performance of token prices around unlocks - both large and small - and can now tell you, at least historically, the impact of markets around token unlock events.
