Avalanche, Aptos, and The Sandbox Lead in Upcoming $870 Million Unlock Events

In the upcoming process, projects such as Avalanche, Aptos, The Sandbox, and Optimism are attracting attention in key unlocks; a significant unlock worth $339 million in AVAX stands out.



February witnesses significant token unlock events. Token Unlocks refer to the release of a certain amount of tokens from projects into circulation on pre-determined dates. The unlocks in February will have a total value exceeding $870 million and will cover projects like $SUI, $APT, $SAND, $APE, $MANTA, $AVAX, and $OP.

AVAX is Coming!

This month’s most noteworthy unlock will occur with Avalanche’s token, AVAX. On February 22nd, 9.54 million AVAX tokens, valued at $339 million, will enter circulation. This only constitutes 2.6% of AVAX’s total supply. Despite this significant unlock in AVAX, it’s noted that the quantity of tokens being released into circulation is low relative to the overall supply.

Following AVAX, another significant unlock will occur in the Aptos ($APT) project. On February 11th, 24.8 million APT tokens, valued at $229 million, will be unlocked. This represents approximately 7% of APT’s total supply.
On February 14th, The Sandbox’s token, SAND, will experience a major unlock. On this date, 209 million SAND tokens, valued at $94.42 million, will be released into circulation. This planned unlock for SAND could increase the potential to attract more participants to the project’s gaming and metaverse ecosystem.
