 <p class="paragraph">Over $1 billion in token unlocks will hit the cryptocurrency market starting on Monday, May 20. This could result in a massive sell-off event, mainly affecting Pyth Network (PYTH) and Avalanche (AVAX) investors.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Previously, Finbold reported that May would see over $4 billion in token unlocks from multiple projects. Last week, Aevo (AEVO) unlocked $1 billion, which we featured as a cryptocurrency to avoid trading due to this inflation.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Now, in the next seven days, the market will see $1.27 billion worth of token unlocks from six cryptocurrencies. PYTH dominates the seven-day overall inflation with $905.72 million worth of unlock, inflating its supply by 141.7%.&nbsp;</p>

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-pyth-network-pyth-to-unlock-nearly-1-billion-in-tokens">Pyth Network (PYTH) to unlock nearly $1 billion in tokens</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Pyth Network unlock will open the inflationary week, releasing 2.13 billion tokens on May 20. Over half of this amount is reserved for <em>Ecosystem Growth</em>, which is controlled and allocated by Pyth’s team. Similarly, $320 million is reserved for <em>Publisher Reward</em> and <em>Protocol Development</em>, while 250 million PYTH is for&nbsp; “Private Sales” investors.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">As of this writing, Pyth Network was trading at $0.42 with a $630 million market cap and 1.5 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="billion" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/billion.html">billion</a> PYTH circulating. Therefore, crypto traders should expect this massive <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="token" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/token.html">token</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="unlock" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/unlock.html">unlock</a> to affect its price as sell-offs occur in the following weeks.</p>

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="avalanches-9-55-million-avax-unlock">Avalanche’s 9.55 million AVAX unlock</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">In the meantime, Avalanche will follow up with its monthly <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="token" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/token.html">token</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="unlocks" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/unlocks.html">unlocks</a> on May 22. Like in previous months, the protocol will release 9.55 million AVAX, this time worth nearly $350 million.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">As for the distribution, the <em>Team</em> will receive 4.50 million AVAX, currently worth nearly $165 million.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Furthermore, <em>Strategic Partners</em> and the <em>Foundation</em> will increase their treasury by 2.25 million and 1.67 million AVAX, respectively. This will open a future sell-off threat of over $142 million by these entities alone.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">However, the most liquid unlock will be 1.13 million AVAX ($41.05 million) for community airdrop.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">However, despite significant supply inflation with the unlocks, these tokens could still display positive price performance in the next few days. The cryptocurrency market is unpredictable, and everything can happen, even in unfavorable economic conditions.</p>
