Chainlink: Beware of Potential Price Impacts from Ongoing Token Unlocks

Chainlink：谨防持续代币解锁带来的潜在价格影响

Massive token unlocks often negatively impact token prices. While most altcoins have experienced gains this week, LINK has remained stagnant, losing 0.5% of its value.

大量代币解锁通常会对代币价格产生负面影响。虽然大多数山寨币本周都上涨了，但 LINK 仍然停滞不前，价值下跌了 0.5%。

SpotOnChain reported a significant token unlock event for Chainlink this morning, with approximately 18.75 million LINK tokens (valued at $215 million) released from non-circulating supply contracts.

SpotOnChain 今天早上报道了 Chainlink 的一次重大代币解锁事件，从非流通供应合约中释放了约 1875 万个 LINK 代币（价值 2.15 亿美元）。

The majority of these unlocked tokens (18.125 million LINK, worth $208 million) were sent to Binance, while 625,000 LINK tokens ($7.18 million) were transferred to a multisig wallet.

这些解锁代币中的大部分（1812.5 万个 LINK，价值 2.08 亿美元）被发送到币安，而 625,000 个 LINK 代币（718 万美元）被转移到多重签名钱包。

Chainlink has been unlocking LINK tokens quarterly since August 2022. To date, 145.75 million LINK (approximately $1.5 billion) have been unlocked, with 126 million LINK ($1.28 billion) deposited directly to Binance at an average price of $10.13.

自 2022 年 8 月起，Chainlink 每季度解锁 LINK 代币。迄今为止，已解锁 1.4575 亿枚 LINK（约 15 亿美元），其中 1.26 亿枚 LINK（约 12.8 亿美元）以平均价格 10.13 美元直接存入币安。

Despite these substantial unlocks and centralized exchange deposits, LINK's price has remained stable or even increased. However, it's worth noting that Chainlink still holds a significant reserve of 372.75 million LINK tokens (worth $4.27 billion) across 24 non-circulating contracts, suggesting potential future unlocks that could impact token supply and price dynamics.

尽管有这些大量的解锁和集中兑换存款，LINK 的价格仍然保持稳定甚至上涨。然而，值得注意的是，Chainlink 仍然在 24 个非流通合约中持有 3.7275 亿枚 LINK 代币（价值 42.7 亿美元）的大量储备，这表明未来潜在的解锁可能会影响代币供应和价格动态。
