December’s Crypto Buzz: Unveiling Token Unlocks & Airdrops
As the year nears its end, the crypto realm braces for a flurry of token releases from various projects. A peek into the anticipated unlocks and airdrops for December, sourced from TokenUnlocks data, reveals an intriguing lineup.
Topping the list is the decentralized exchange dYdX, slated to unleash a staggering 150 million tokens—equivalent to 30% of its token reserves for investors, founders, and current/future staff—when the clock strikes midnight on December 1, UTC.
dYdX witnessed a surge in its market value following its announcement on January 25 that the planned February token unlock would undergo a delay, pushing the event to December. However, the exchange recently took a substantial $9 million hit to its insurance fund, termed by its CEO as a “targeted attack.”
In the upcoming week, noteworthy unlocks include Optimism, unlocking 32.21 million tokens valued at $58 million on November 29, and 1inch, slated to release 98.74 million tokens worth $34.5 million on December 1, as per TokenUnlocks.
