Aptos to Unlock $100 Million in Tokens in November
Crypto token unlocking is a common practice where entities release previously frozen tokens to prevent large-scale sales by early investors and project teams.
Aptos plans to unlock over $100 million tokens in mid-November, representing around 10% of the total APT supply. These events are often considered bearish as they increase liquidity and allow investors to secure profits, potentially impacting the token’s price.

Research by The Tie indicates that the upcoming release could exceed 112% of the average daily trading volume over the last 30 days, which tends to put downward pressure on prices.
Token Unlocks data shows that 82% of the tokens remain locked, with 18% already unlocked. Recently, 4.54 million APT tokens worth over $23 million were unlocked, resulting in minor price fluctuations.
It’s important to note that another 4.5 million token unlock is scheduled for October 12, 2023, before the more significant November event, which is expected to substantially impact the ecosystem and asset price.
