The cryptocurrency market is anticipating a huge influx of assets in April, with more than $1.7 billion worth of tokens scheduled to be issued. The most prominent of these symbols are Aptos, Axie Infinity, Arbitrum, and Ronin.
Token unlocks have gained traction as a strategy to gradually introduce locked assets into the market over a pre-determined time frame. Proponents believe that this method aligns incentives between project investors and stakeholders. However, it often results in short-term fluctuations and price declines.
