This week will see a large swathe of token unlocks from various crypto and DeFi projects and networks. Usually, these unlock events put downward pressure on token prices.
More than $27.5 million worth of tokens are set to be unlocked this week, according to Token.unlocks.app. Altcoins are already in retreat from last week’s Ripple-induced rally and this could send some of them further down.
Token Unlocks GaloreOn July 18, the Token.Unlocks.app platform reported that millions of dollars worth of crypto tokens were about to be released in cliff unlocks.
The largest of which is the Axie Infinity AXS unlock on July 22. This will see 3.43 million AXS tokens, or 3% of the circulating supply, flood the market. Furthermore, the massive token tranche is valued at a whopping $22 million.
However, this huge release isn’t as large as the one in April when 18.9 million AXS tokens were unlocked. In the week surrounding the event, AXS dumped 17%, so prices are expected to dip a little this time.
AXS had dropped 1.2% on the day to $6.34 at the time of writing and was down a whopping 96% from its all-time high.

Other smaller releases this week include Euler (EUL), Cartesi (CTSI), and 1inch (1INCH).
Arkham ARKM Sale CommencesThe big token sale of the week is Arkham’s ARKM on the Binance Launchpad which opened for subscriptions on July 17.
The controversial blockchain intelligence marketplace is selling 150 million tokens to BNB stakers on Binance.
Binance capped the transaction price for the first five minutes at 10 times the public sale price. This means that ARKM prices cannot exceed $0.50 initially.
Arkham came under fire recently for data harvesting and was labeled a “snitch-to-earn” platform by some in the crypto community.
