Token Unlocks’ 2022 Annual Report estimates that $102 billion worth of altcoins will be unlocked in 2023. We, as Kriptokoin.com, have compiled the information we have collected about the locks that are opened and the locks to be opened for you.
These altcoin locks have high values
In the report, XRP, FIL, and OP were the 3 altcoins with estimated largest locked valuations of $17.9 billion, $4.9 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively.
The data shows that December 2022 ends with $102.1 billion worth of tokens locked in Fully Diluted Value (FDV) of $570.8 billion and a market cap of $468.7 billion. Dividing the market cap by FDV, the report concludes that 82.1% of all fixed-supply tokens are already in free circulation in the market.
15 projects with the most significant estimated locked value
The report states that 15 projects account for more than 75% of the total illiquid tokens. An estimated six of the top 15 unlocks are worth less than $1 billion. By comparison, two are expected to equate to roughly $1 billion, and the remaining seven would be worth more than one billion.
The listing reveals that Ripple (XRP) ranks first with a total of $17.9 billion in locked tokens. Filecoin (FIL) and Optimism (OP) follow XRP in second and third place with locked values of $4.9 billion and $3.7 billion respectively.
Chainlink (LINK), BitDAO (BIT), ApeCoin (APE), and STEPN (GMT) are also ranked over $1 billion. Hedera (HBAR) and Axie Infinity (AXS) are estimated to have around $1 billion worth of tokens locked.
