Other top unlocks in the first week of May are Galxe (GAL) and Heroes of Mavia (MAVIA).
The biggest token unlocks in May will be for Aevo (AEVO) and Pyth Network (PYTH). According to TokenUnlocks, both projects will see more than $1.2 billion in AEVO and PYTH released on May 15 and May 20 respectively.
While projects try to ensure unlocks do not put undue pressure on token prices, there’s still the potential that massive releases inject fresh volatility in the respective markets. Having key information on such developments could be key to traders’ decisions.
