Unfreezing the Big Freeze: Are We Seeing a Managed Distribution?
This week, the cryptocurrency market is witnessing one of the largest unlock events of 2026.
On August 7, a $28.72 million Stablecoin was unlocked. The next, even bigger unlock: ADI and RAIN totaling $471.6 million.
Key figures:
- Aptos: 11.31 million tokens on August 12.
- Sandbox: 332.55 million SAND tokens worth $142.45 million on August 14—17.19% of the circulating supply.
- RAIN: 9.41 billion tokens worth $85.28 million, 2.77% of the supply.
Token unlocks are the release of tokens that were theoretically locked to protect the price, but early investors who received them at low prices can sell them in the open market.
History suggests that 70% of big unlock cases are followed by a drop of between 5% and 15% within a week.
Scenarios: liquidity absorption if the market is strong, gradual downward pressure as whales sell, or a sudden selling shock.
Educational takeaway: track the unlock calendar, avoid buying right before the event, and spread your risk.
In your opinion, do unlock schedules protect retail investors—or serve the big players?
