🔓 What is token unlocking and why is it bad for their price?

When a new crypto project is launched, the circulating supply of its tokens is limited. This means that the team, various investors, employees, and so on do not have tokens on hand, so they cannot sell them and put pressure on the price.

Such tokens are locked for a certain period, for example, six months, three months, or even several years.

So, when participants gain the ability to sell their tokens, this is called unlocking.

If a large number of tokens are expected to be released, it is likely to have a negative impact on their price. This is because they are usually sold off immediately.
American miner Core Scientific will lease 200 MW of capacity in its own data center for training artificial intelligence models. It is expected to bring the company around $300 million per year and partially cover the drop in its income following the Bitcoin halving.

Core Scientific has signed a 12-year contract with CoreWeave, a cloud provider for GPU computing. The company has investments from Nvidia, Fidelity, and JPMorgan and is valued at $19 billion. Before pivoting to AI computing, it also engaged in mining.

The cooperation is expected to bring Core Scientific around $290 million in average annual revenue, with a total revenue over 12 years estimated to exceed $3.5 billion.
