【CoinDesk】Crypto market this week should closely monitor token unlock trends. According to the latest data, starting from December 15, several top Layer2 and mainstream projects will initiate large-scale token release cycles.
The most prominent is Starknet(STRK), with about 127 million tokens unlocking on December 15, accounting for 5.07% of the total supply, with a market value of around $13.2 million. On the same day, Sei(SEI) also unlocks, though on a smaller scale, with 55.56 million tokens, representing 1.08%, valued at $6.93 million.
Arbitrum(ARB) follows closely, with 92.65 million tokens scheduled to unlock on December 16, representing 1.9% of the total supply, equivalent to $19 million. This scale is relatively moderate for the ARB ecosystem.
The most noteworthy may be LayerZero(ZRO)—which unlocks on December 20, but releases a single batch of 25.71 million tokens, accounting for 6.79%, with a USD value of up to $37.79 million. This number ranks first on this week’s unlock list, and market participants should prepare psychologically.
This wave of concentrated unlocks involves a token release volume of over $370 million, which may exert short-term pressure on the prices of these projects, especially for ZRO and STRK, the two major holders. Investors should pay attention to these time points and plan risk management strategies in advance.

Damn, STRK is about to dump this week, and the 5-point unlock volume is directly dragging it down.
ZRO is the real bomb, I got nervous even before the full data was announced.
We need to keep a close eye this week; once the unlock cycles start, the movement of these coins is unpredictable.
ARB is relatively stable, but 19 million is still not small.
SEI following the unlock trend is a bit annoying; its previous rise wasn't very solid.
Feels like an adjustment is starting this week, so be cautious when bottom-fishing.

Damn, STRK unlocks 5% at once. This week, it’s going to be hammered through.

Another round of concentrated unlocking, a typical flaw in incentive mechanism design. The authorization cycles for the team and investors are staggered, but in the end, they still end up together. The game-theoretic equilibrium is simply not well managed.

It's that time again, the bots need to sharpen their blades. STRK drops 5% in one go—how fierce is this rhythm... Good morning to all nocturnal creatures, are you ready to be sandwich-filled?
This week, large-scale token unlocks occur across multiple chain ecosystems, with ZRO leading the release of over $370 million.
