Primary Market | How should you assess a token unlock?
To gauge the scale of a one-off unlock, the proportion it represents of the current circulating supply is more useful than the number of tokens unlocked.
Unlocking $100 million worth of tokens has a very different impact on a coin with a circulating market cap of $500 million than on one with a circulating market cap of $50 billion.
$ARB saw its first unlock of team and investor allocations in March 2024.
Understanding the mechanics helps you make more clear-headed decisions—not predict whether prices will rise or fall.
