How VCs trade token unlocks (and what you can learn from them)
VCs time exits around unlock schedules, use OTC deals, stagger sells and monitor market sentiment to maximize profits and minimize impact.
Token unlocks release previously locked tokens into circulation, often leading to increased volatility and price drops.
Vesting schedules (cliff + linear release) aim to align early stakeholders’ incentives with long-term project success.
VCs use advanced strategies such as OTC deals, staggered sales and derivatives to exit profitably and avoid crashing the market.
