Crypto vesting prevents early investors and team members from selling their tokens by locking them down. This mechanism helps prevent a price downturn during the early phases of a crypto project.


Vesting data tracker Token Unlocks highlighted that the largest amount of crypto assets to be unlocked in July 2024 belongs to AltLayer (ALT), Xai (XAI), Aptos (APT), Arbitrum (ARB), Optimism (OP), Sui (SUI), Immutable (IMX) and Starknet (STRK).Biggest token unlocks in July


Decentralized protocol AltLayer will unlock the biggest chunk of tokens in July. On July 25, the project is set to release 684 million ALT tokens worth about $125 million. The tokens are allocated to its team, investors, advisers, protocol development, treasury ecosystem and community.


Gaming-focused project Xai is set to release the second-largest amount, with about $93 million in tokens scheduled to unlock on July 9. Like AltLayer, the crypto assets are for its team, investors and ecosystem. About $2 million in tokens are also allocated to its reserves.


ALT"s token price is currently around $0.18, whereas XAI is valued at $0.46.

Meanwhile, Arbitrum, which released $95 million in May and $105 million in June, is scheduled to drop another $75 million in tokens for its team, advisers and investors on July 16. The project also released 1.1 billion ARB tokens worth $2.32 billion on March 16.
