Based on current token prices, unlocked APT is worth over $50 million. Unlocking refers to the automatic issuance of new tokens belonging to any blockchain network to the open market, usually based on a previously predetermined token scheme.
About 84% of APTs are still locked, which means that in the long run, the current valuation may decrease, because most tokens are not yet listed.
Token unlocking is a key event that can affect the market as participants react to the move. Adding tokens to the market allows early investors, developers or other owners to sell their assets while prices are still high – which increases selling pressure.
However, based on underlying demand, new investors or traders could add to their existing holdings of the token, causing the price to rise after the initial selling pressure subsides.
