Over $1 Billion in Investor Tokens Set to Enter Crypto Market: Details

• Over $1 billion in tokens from ETHFI, ZRO, and GRASS are set to be unlocked in the coming months.
• ETHFI and LayerZero will release $550 million tokens within the next year.
• Projects like REZ and SPEC are also set to release large emissions.

The crypto market is set for significant shifts as major projects like Etherfi (ETHFI), LayerZero (ZRO), and Grass (GRASS) prepare for large-scale token unlocks. 

Data from Tokenomist indicates that over $1 billion worth of investor-held tokens will enter circulation across multiple projects, potentially influencing price stability and market trends.

ETHFI and ZRO Tokens Lead Major Releases

Etherfi and LayerZero are set to release $274 million and $276 million worth of tokens, respectively. This influx could significantly impact token prices and overall market sentiment. 

Since these unlocks will happen relatively quickly, they could exert significant short-term pressure on their respective market.

Other notable releases, the GRASS and Morpho (MORPHO) projects, have over $700 million in investor emissions set to be released. However, the unlock would happen over a much longer timeline—more than a year from now. 

While the extended schedule may ease immediate market impact, the sheer size of these emissions remains a key factor to watch.

Renzo (REZ) and Spectral (SPEC) will unlock more than 30% of their total token supply. These sizable allocations might influence investor decisions and price volatility in the coming months.

Rapid vs. Gradual Token Supply Increases

Projects like QuantixAI (QAI) and ETHFI will fully unlock their investor allocations within a year. This will rapidly increase the circulating supply and potential sell pressure.

Meanwhile, BERA and EigenLayer (EIGEN) have unlock schedules extending into 2027-2028. This distributes sell pressure over a longer period and reduces immediate market impact.

Monitoring Token Unlocks Crucial for Investors

These unlock events are crucial indicators of potential market movements. Low-FDV tokens like REZ and SPEC may experience heightened volatility as supply increases. However, high-FDV projects like BERA and ZRO could see more controlled price action due to their larger valuation relative to emissions.

With major unlocks approaching, token holders will need to closely watch for signs of these sell pressures.
