Over $900,000,000 in Altcoin Token Unlocks to Hit Crypto Markets in August: Report

Nearly a billion dollars in token unlocks are set to hit crypto markets in August, according to the latest numbers.

Citing data from TokenUnlocks, blockchain reporter Colin Wu reports that over $900 million in unlocks are ready to be released next month.

Some of the largest unlocks include those from decentralized exchange (DEX) dYdX, layer-one blockchain Sui, and Ethereum (ETH) layer-2 Arbitrum (ARB).

The largest token unlock in the next seven days is from the cross-chain interoperability protocol Wormhole, which will release $154 million in W tokens representing 33% of the supply.

Analytics firm IntoTheBlock recently reported that projects like Sam Altman’s “proof-of-person” project Worldcoin (WLD), decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Stargate Finance (STG) and layer-2 blockchain Mantle (MNT) have daily token unlocks that represent relatively large percentages of their market cap, according to the firm’s data.

The firm noted that the price performance of WLD, STG and MNT may suffer due to the amount of fresh tokens issued daily.

“This chart shows daily linear unlocks for top assets

$24.9M worth of BTC is unlocked daily, though it has minimal market cap impact.

Stargate, Worldcoin, and Mantle have significant unlocks relative to market cap, posing potential market cap dilution risks.”

Benjamin Cowen, a cryptocurrency strategist, is bearish on Ethereum (ETH) because the second-largest digital asset has failed to climb back above a key resistance level. In a new video, Cowen tells his 785,000 YouTube subscribers that the price of Ethereum is likely to go down because there is a lot of “anxiety” around the $1,800 mark. Cowen says that there isn’t as much “apathy” in the market as there was during the bear season of 2019/2020. “There’s so much anxiety in this level [$1,800 resistance level] like I think it’s much more likely to break down eventually… I will be the first to admit it’s taking longer than I thought it would. But I also don’t really feel that same type of apathy in the market now that I did back in 2019 and 2020.” At the time of writing, one Ethereum is worth $1,736. Cowen says that less people would care about Ethereum if the price of the second most valuable cryptocurrency fell to triple digi...

Armstrong argued that broader market conditions suppressed further gains. Furthermore, he countered critical views about XRP’s failure to engineer a bullish trajectory like other rivals such as Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX), which have seen more than 100% gains.   He dismissed such comparisons and drew parallels to Ethereum’s delayed ascent in previous cycles. Moreover, he caution...
