3 Major Token Unlocks Poised to Shake Crypto Markets in Mid-July 2025

Brace for impact—these releases could flood the market with fresh liquidity (or trigger panic sells, because when has crypto ever been predictable?).

Token Unlocks: The Bull Case

Three projects are set to unleash previously locked holdings—just in time for traders to either FOMO in or paper-hand their bags. Will this be a calculated dilution or a sell-the-news event? Place your bets.

The Bear Trap Scenario

History shows unlocks often precede volatility spikes. Will this batch defy the trend—or prove that 'supply and demand' still applies even in Web3? (Spoiler: Always does.)

Closing Thought: Nothing fuels crypto drama like a good token unlock—except maybe a hedge fund manager 'accidentally' tweeting wallet keys.
