Bracing for Selling Pressure from Massive Token Unlock

• • Aptos is scheduled to release 11.3 million APT tokens into the market in April 2026. This monthly unlock continues to overshadow price action as it potentially floods the market with fresh supply.

Fundamentally, the 11.3 million APT unlock is part of a long monthly token release schedule extending to 2032. This triggers constant concerns regarding value dilution for long-term investors. Although some previous unlocks were successfully absorbed if market demand was high, adding over 11 million tokens in a single day always exerts heavy structural pressure. Traders frequently use this fundamental catalyst to execute sell-offs or hedge their positions ahead of the event.

The biggest risk of this event is systematic price depreciation. If early holders, investors, or team members receiving the tokens immediately liquidate them on exchanges, APT risks a technical breakdown that triggers a cascade of long liquidations.
