Pack

In a significant development for the crypto market, over $755 million in crypto unlock <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/top-crypto-investments-for-2024-expert-picks/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">belonging to eight major protocols</a> will be recorded in July. This is as the vesting periods for more than 40 projects get completed.
For context, crypto vesting is similar to the freezing of bank accounts to prevent withdrawals. The mechanism is activated to prevent early investors and members of the team from immediately selling their tokens by locking them up for a specific period. It functions to guarantee token’s price stability at the onset of a project.
