SOL Investors Unconcerned About Upcoming Token Unlocks in 2025
Concerns regarding Solana's upcoming token unlocks in 2025 have emerged, with predictions of a significant increase in circulating supply. Key points include:
- Current discussions on “SOL unlocks” indicate that while substantial amounts of SOL will become sellable, they comprise a small percentage of the overall supply.
- The FTX estate’s scheduled unlock on March 1 will release $2.58 billion worth of SOL, about 2% of its market cap, with 97.5% of SOL already unlocked.
- Investors who purchased locked SOL tokens are reportedly seeking high returns and may retain their holdings.
- The Grayscale Solana Trust (GSOL) has private placement shares unlocking soon; however, it only manages $125 million against SOL’s $112 billion market cap.
- Market impact from the GSOL share unlock is expected to be minimal due to its size relative to the overall market.
Industry experts believe that these unlock events will not significantly affect SOL's price movement.
