Unlocking the Comedy: When Token Vesting Turns into a Token DumpThis particular COINBASE:ZETAUSD COINBASE:ZETAUSD project has a 13% unlock of the circulating supply , which, while not as extreme as BINANCE:TIAUSDT 's 80% set to release in under 48 hours, still presents a solid opportunity for profit. I speculate and anticipate a 15% price drop within four days following the unlock , as those receiving the tokens are likely to sell off a great portion to unsuspecting investors.
When researching the founders, it’s evident they are trying to maintain a low profile , which is often a red flag for projects lacking substance. The founders, Charlie Pyle and Ankur Nandwani, have not made significant contributions relative to the enormous funds they are collecting through this questionable venture. Notably, they recently left or were fired from prominent projects, likely seeing an opportunity to cash in by launching yet another crypto project amidst the sea of existing ones . They seem to be targeting decentralization believers and hopefuls who dream of striking it rich early on, only to find themselves investing in yet another lackluster scheme. Many of these investors are eager to believe in the potential of new projects, but when you look behind the scenes, it’s often just another facade run by self-proclaimed academic philosophers with little to offer .
The upcoming cliff unlock primarily benefits core contributors and advisors, who will receive 11% of the circulating supply monthly from August 1, 2024, to February 1, 2025.
In the chart, you’ll notice some fake pumps highlighted in the green circle I drew. However, the overall trend for this project is clearly downward . The three yellow circles with purple centers indicate the days of each cliff unlock, and it’s evident that selling pressure increases in the days that follow. Keep an eye on these patterns as they reveal the true nature of the market!
