Token

2024

<p>At the end of 2024, the crypto market is about to face a major event: the unlocking of tokens worth a total of $5.08 billion. Among these unlocks, nearly $2 billion correspond to “cliffs”, massive scheduled releases that could significantly impact prices.</p>
<h2 id="h-un-mois-crucial-pour-le-marche-crypto">A crucial month for the crypto market</h2>
<p>The main players in the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/the-rush-for-ether-etfs-intensifies-new-record/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto market</a> are preparing to release significant quantities. The month of December 2024 marks an important turning point for the crypto ecosystem with the scheduled arrival of $5.08 billion worth of tokens on the market.</p>

<p>The “cliff” unlocks account for $1.99 billion of the total, with projects releasing their tokens all at once on a fixed date rather than gradually.</p>
<p>The Jito (JTO) project is leading the way with a scheduled unlock of $498 million on December 7, closely followed by Sui (SUI), which will release $221.47 million on December 1.</p>
<p>This wave of unlocks will also affect other major players like Aptos (APT) with $149.85 million, <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/arbitrum-vs-optimism-la-bataille-des-layers-2-d-ethereum-fait-rage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Arbitrum (ARB)</a> with $88.80 million, and Optimism (OP) with $75.85 million.</p>
<p>The peculiarity of these unlocks lies in their temporal concentration, potentially creating significant pressure on the market in a relatively short period.</p>

<h2 id="h-impact-potentiel-et-perspectives-pour-les-investisseurs">Potential impact and prospects for investors</h2>
<p>Massive token unlocks are traditionally crucial moments for the crypto market, as they can significantly influence the prices of the affected assets. In the case of <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/jito/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jito</a>, for example, the volume of tokens unlocked will exceed the current circulating supply, a factor that warrants particular attention from investors.</p>
<p>The main beneficiaries of these unlocks are varied: initial investors, founding teams, and community reserves will share these new liquidities. For Sui, Series A and B investors will receive $68.44 million and $66.66 million worth of tokens, respectively, while the community reserve will benefit from $43.57 million.</p>
<p>Other notable projects such as <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-increasing-trading-activity-with-cardano-will-ada-explode/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cardano (ADA)</a>, ZetaChain (ZETA), and Immutable (IMX) also plan significant unlocks during this period, adding an additional layer of complexity to the market dynamics.</p>
