As July nears, the crypto market anticipates a significant wave of token unlocks, with projects set to release around $3 billion worth of assets.
Token unlocks involve gradually releasing coins to prevent early investors or team members from selling large amounts quickly. Market experts noted that this process can increase selling pressure on digital assets, which can affect the broader market.
