Definition ∞ Long term supply release refers to the scheduled distribution of previously locked or allocated digital assets into the circulating market over an extended period. This often involves vesting schedules for team members, early investors, or foundation reserves. It gradually increases the available supply of an asset, which can influence its market dynamics.
Context ∞ This event is a critical factor for market analysts and is frequently reported in cryptocurrency news, especially for newer projects. The timing and volume of these releases are closely watched, as a substantial influx of tokens can exert downward pressure on prices. Understanding these schedules is essential for assessing an asset’s future supply-side economics.
