DYDX about $16 million will be released, what will the price be?
The decentralized exchange dYdX unlocks 6.5 million DYDX tokens on February 14. The planned token release is equal to 0.65% of the total supply, so the impact may be low. At current prices, the value of the dYdX token lock is approximately $15.9 million.
Also, only 20.4% of the total supply of 1 billion DYDX tokens has been unlocked. This gives it a market cap of approximately $361 million. The remaining 80% of the tokens will be unlocked in frequent small increments over the next three years. Meanwhile, the dYdX price is rising with the overall recovery in the market.
DYDX unlocks will occur every month until July 2026. From December 2023, the amount released increases significantly for the team and investors. The dYdX team announced this change in their previous unlock schedule in late January.
Project management is also running a vote to reduce trade rewards by 45% from 2.9 million to 1.6 million tokens per period.

Sandbox launches 250 million worth of altcoins
It also unlocked a significant amount of tokens in Sandbox today, this time releasing more tokens than before. About $250 million worth of SAND has entered circulation and prices have dropped beforehand. Still, the overall recovery is convincing investors to buy at the bottom. SAND is trading at 4% green over the last 24 hours at the time of writing. It quickly recovered from the lows of the day.
As Kriptokoin.com, we have included the projects that will unlock a large amount of tokens this year. Token unlock events often lead to bearish expectations, but this is not always the case as seen from the price action of the day.
