Top 5 Token Unlocks This Week

We tell you which tokens will be unlocked this week and how major unlocks can affect the market dynamics.

Unlock (English: unlock) is called the unlocking of tokens that were previously frozen under the terms of investment rounds or other funding programs.

Usually, the team carefully works out the tokenomics so as not to cause a lot of pressure from sellers at various stages of the unlock and thus not to collapse the price of the token. However, some factors, such as a lack of liquidity or profit-taking by early investors immediately after the unlocking of tokens, can seriously affect the asset’s quotes.

1. Space ID (ID)

  • Unlock date: July 22
  • Number of unlocked tokens: 18,490,000 ID
  • Current circulating offer: 430 506 132 ID

Space ID is a universal decentralized identity protocol that connects people, assets, and dApps across different blockchains. The platform allows you to use a single domain name to represent your identity across all individual applications and networks. On July 22, the project will unlock over 18 million ID tokens, which will be distributed among the Space ID fund, airdrop participants, and the ecosystem fund.

2. AltLayer (ALT)

  • Unlock date: July 25
  • Number of unlocked tokens: 684,210,000 ALT
  • Current circulating supply: 1,626,041,665 ALT

AltLayer is an open source decentralized protocol for rollups. The project is based on the idea Restored Rollupswhich takes rollups from any stack – such as OP Stack or Arbitrum Orbit – and provides them with increased security, decentralization, compatibility, and fast finality through the use of a restaking mechanism.

On July 25, the project will unlock almost 700 million ALT tokens, which is 42% of the current circulating supply. These tokens are intended for the treasury, investors, team, advisors, community members, and protocol development.

AltLayer accounts for 84.5% of all cliff unlocks this week. Given the relatively small circulating supply compared to the total supply, such a significant token unlock could negatively impact the price of ALT.

“The type of unlock is not the only factor to consider. Another important aspect is the percentage of the total supply already in place. When this percentage is very small, the dilution of the market value can be significant,” shared Vincent Malipaard, CMO of IntoTheBlock.

3. Yield Guild Games (YGG)

  • Unlock date: July 27
  • Number of unlocked tokens: 14,080 YGG
  • Current circulating supply: 376,255,506 YGG
