The crypto market is bracing for significant token unlocks this December, with projects like Cardano, Jito, and Aptos set to release a combined $700 million worth of tokens. These unlocks are poised to impact market dynamics, driving potential volatility and offering key insights into project strategies.

Aptos is set to release 11.31 million APT tokens worth $153 million on December 11. These tokens, representing around 2% of the circulating supply, will be distributed to the foundation, community initiatives, core contributors, and investors.
Other Notable Unlocks: Neon, ZKJ, and Space ID

Investors should monitor these events closely to align their strategies with potential market movements.
