Arbitrum's performance is thought-provoking. Since the token unlock, this project's market cap has dropped nearly 50%, and the token price has fallen by as much as 88%, becoming a bloody example. The underlying issue is actually quite common: a large number of tokens are sold off aggressively after the unlock period, new retail investors step in to buy, while the project's supply pressure continues to be released into the market. Situations like Arbitrum are not unique—actually, dozens of projects have fallen into similar dilemmas. Token unlocks should be a sign of project maturity, but they have become a market disaster. The supply dynamics behind this are worth paying attention to, as they directly determine the project's long-term price trend. How many projects are initially hyped during their listing but fade into obscurity after the unlock?

88% drop is really incredible, it's completely the graveyard for bagholders. --- Unlocking is just a countdown to death, who hasn't seen that yet. --- Another "sign of maturity" turning into a signal to cut leeks, hilarious. --- No one really manages the supply pressure, anyway those who cash out first make a killing. --- Do dozens of projects all do this? Then why even buy tokens. --- Initially hyped to the sky, then returning to hell after unlocking, this is the usual operation in the crypto world. --- Retail investors are really just tools for these project teams to pass the baton. --- 88%, my friend, do you know what this concept means? --- Token unlocking = big players' sell-off schedule, it's that simple. --- It looks like Arbitrum is just the beginning.
