Is GAL and 1INCH token unlock a sell-the-news event?

  • 1INCH and GAL token unlocks are scheduled for March 24 and 30 respectively. 
  • The two crypto tokens have yielded gains for holders over the past two weeks, token unlock could therefore be a sell-the-news event. 
  • 1INCH token unlock accounts for 0.004% of the total supply and GAL unlock will add 0.096% to circulation. 

1inch (1INCH) and Galxe (GAL) have token unlocks scheduled for March 2023. Typically, token unlocks increase the circulating supply of an asset, negatively influencing the price. In the case of 1INCH and GAL, the two tokens have yielded gains for holders over the past week, making it likely that unlock turns into a “sell-the-news” event.

1INCH holders gained 8.2% over the past two weeks and GAL yielded 20.3% gains. Since the two altcoins have offered nearly double-digit gains since March 9, it is likely that the token unlock event turns out to be a “sell-the-news” for holders. 1INCH and GAL holders can expect a correction in their prices with the upcoming token unlock.
