Liquidity unlock describes the event when previously restricted digital assets become available for trading or transfer. This typically occurs after a vesting period, token lock-up, or the conclusion of a staking program, releasing a substantial volume of tokens into the open market. The sudden availability of these assets can significantly influence market supply dynamics and potentially impact price stability. Project teams often implement these schedules to manage token distribution and control inflation.
