Full Token Unlock

Definition

A full token unlock signifies the release of all previously restricted tokens into the circulating supply. This event typically occurs after an initial vesting period or a scheduled release, making tokens held by project teams, early investors, or advisors fully tradable. A full token unlock can significantly increase the available supply of a digital asset on exchanges. The sudden influx of tokens may exert downward pressure on prices if a substantial portion is sold by recipients. It represents a critical milestone in a project’s tokenomics schedule, marking a transition to a more mature and liquid market.
