The Aptos Foundation will unlock $59 million worth of APT tokens on June 12, 2025. This release includes tokens allocated to the community, core contributors, foundation, and investors.
Historical data indicate the token unlock may not significantly impact prices, with market sentiment playing a larger role in price reactions.
Aptos plans to release 11.31 million APT tokens, valued at approximately $59 million, as part of a monthly unlock schedule.
The recipients include 3.21 million for the community, 3.96 million for core contributors, 1.33 million for the foundation, and 2.81 million for investors.
Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching of Aptos Labs, former contributors to Meta’s Diem project, are central to this initiative. Despite the unlocks, 43.5% of the total APT supply remains locked.
Historically, token unlocks can cause short-term volatility. However, broader market sentiment typically outweighs the impact of these scheduled events.
“Token unlocks are part of our roadmap, but broader market conditions will influence immediate price reactions.” – Avery Ching, Co-founder & CTO of Aptos Labs
The release’s effect on the market will depend on liquidity conditions and trading flows. Overseeing these dynamics, the Aptos team has yet to issue specific comments on the upcoming unlock.
Observers suggest ongoing transparency and predictability of unlocks may mitigate drastic market shifts. Nonetheless, close monitoring is advised for any developments from Aptos or shifts in on-chain data.
