Weigh the pros and cons
The token unlock has both positive and negative implications for BLUR. On the plus side, it brings more liquidity to the market as 47.96 million BLUR tokens are made available on Coinbase Prime, opening up more trading opportunities for investors.
In addition, BLUR’s reach expands to a larger market by being listed on a major exchange such as Coinbase Prime, potentially attracting new investors and increasing the token’s visibility.
However, there can be negative consequences. The sudden influx of unlocked tokens can lead to increased price volatility. Sharp fluctuations in the value of BLUR can occur.
In addition, the transfer of 140 million BLUR tokens from Coinbase Prime to other exchanges could create selling pressure. This could potentially have a negative impact on the price of the token. Finally, large unlocks of tokens can create uncertainty among investors about the future value of the token. It can lead to hesitation to buy or hold BLUR.
