Next week, the crypto world is set to receive a healthy dose of new tokens, with a total of $200 million unlocked. The protagonists? Aptos (APT) and Eigenlayer (EIGEN), which are preparing to release 93 million and 34 million tokens, respectively, to the market.

These famous "cliff unlocks" are those magical moments when projects decide to release their locked tokens, either to investors, advisors or the community. The problem? Well, this increase in supply often doesn't sit well with investors, who often go into "panic" mode and start selling, causing the price to plummet. So if you were hoping for a meteoric rise, you might want to revisit your strategy.

APT has been performing well recently, with a 9% increase in the last week, but with these 93 million tokens on the way, some think the party might end soon. Its rise was probably fueled by the news that Franklin Templeton launched its FOBXX tokenized fund on the Aptos network.

On the other hand, EIGEN, which is also not far behind with a 6% increase, is going to add 5% more tokens to its circulation.

But it's not just Aptos and Eigenlayer that are in the game. Optimism (OP) and Neon (NEON) are also going to release a good amount of tokens: OP will release 19 million and NEON, about 17 million, injecting more than 90% of its current supply.

To top it off, a recent study points out that those projects that started with a giant fully diluted valuation and little token circulation tend to crash after their unlocks. Moral of the story? More tokens doesn't always mean more joy.

So get your popcorn ready because next week is going to be interesting in the crypto space! $APT $EIGEN $OP #EIGENonBinance BTCUptober #SECAppealRipple
