Greetings, digital currency dealers! Prepare yourselves because the current week will become chaotic, with more than $428 million in tokens entering the marketplace. We’re discussing digital assets such as Solana (SOL), Worldcoin (WLD), and OM, all set to be unlocked.
Now, these unlockings are intended to maintain stability by steadily distributing new tokens and preventing significant sell-offs by initial backers. However, let’s be honest, they frequently trigger a minor price decrease in the near term.
Here’s the analysis: Metars Genesis is launching 10 million MRS tokens (valued at nearly $100 million! ), Mantra is unleashing 5 million OM tokens ($34.5 million), and even Melania Meme is joining the celebration with 26.25 million tokens ($17.9 million). Fasttoken has already started things off by issuing 20 million FTN tokens ($79.8 million), and AI venture QuantixAI is unlocking about $41.71 million in QAI tokens.
But the main event? Polyhedra Network (ZKJ) is scheduled to launch an astounding 15.53 million ZKJ tokens around midnight UTC on March 19. That’s approximately 25.72% of their circulating supply!
Tokenomist emphasizes that these unlockings come in two varieties: immediate dumps and gradual trickles. Immediate unlockings resemble a sudden surge of tokens, whereas linear releases distribute them throughout the week. In any event, Tokenomist’s statistics indicate that we’re anticipating over $428 million in total unlockings between March 18 and 24.
In the meantime, several prominent names such as Solana, Worldcoin, Celestia, Mantra, and Dogecoin are dealing with ongoing linear unlockings. We’re referring to $8.58 million in SOL, $4.55 million in WLD, $3.4 million in TIA, $2.61 million in OM, and $2.38 million in DOGE entering the marketplace daily.
Remember what transpired with Solana earlier in March? When 11 million SOL tokens were unlocked on March 1, the price plummeted by 9%! So, indeed, anticipate some instability in the digital currency environment this week.
Due to the FTX bankruptcy wind-down, roughly 2 million SOL tokens have been introduced into the marketplace.
The total crypto market cap has fallen by more than 3% in the past day, hitting $2.81 trillion. This drop is occurring amid wider economic ambiguities, involving the Federal Reserve’s assertive interest rate strategies to fight rising prices. Furthermore, commerce frictions between the U.S. and China, worsened by the Trump administration’s levies, are escalating worries about a possible worldwide financial deceleration, making stakeholders more wary of chancy holdings like cryptocurrencies. Token releases are also contributing to the market’s instability. Novo Nordisk shares are increasing!
Currently, SOL is down by 6%, and TIA, WLD, and DOGE are also undergoing setbacks. Nevertheless, OM is defying the pattern with a 4.7% rise.
