Crypto Circle "Unlock Assassin" Launches: RAIN Suddenly Releases Over 10% of Circulating Supply, Is the Market About to Change?
Many new retail investors experience a misconception the first time tokens are unlocked:
"Isn't it just a few more coins?"
Later they realize:
In the crypto world, "a few more" can mean a wipeout.
This May, the most dangerous market signal is the wave of large-scale unlocks.
Total amount about $639 million.
Among them, RAIN alone contributed about $397 million.
And the most exciting part is:
Single unlock exceeds 10% of the circulating market cap.
What does this ratio mean in crypto?
It’s like a table of 10 people eating hotpot.
Suddenly, 20 more people join.
The price doesn’t collapse, all thanks to the hype team.
Many still underestimate the real destructive power of unlocks.
Because the real danger has never been "more coins."
It’s:
"Low-cost chips start to loosen."
VCs, early investors, project teams—they hold positions at ridiculously low costs.
You lose 10% and can’t sleep.
They might drop 50% and still be profitable.
So every large unlock, the market enters a classic state:
Retail investors fantasize about negative news hitting the market.
Institutions prepare to pull back while pushing up.
The funniest part is on-chain monitoring.
In the past, everyone traded based on K-line charts.
Now they’ve become “blockchain paparazzi.”
Which wallet transfers to exchanges?
Which whale starts transferring in batches?
Which address moves unusually at dawn?
The whole market feels like it’s chasing a star’s scandal.
And on May 10th, RAIN is likely to become the focus of attention.
Because the market now fears the phrase:
"Exchange detected large deposits."
That’s basically like the air force opening champagne.
Especially now, overall market liquidity isn’t as exaggerated as a few years ago.
After a large influx of new chips, whether buy orders can absorb it is the biggest concern.
That’s why order book depth is especially critical.
If the order book is too thin,
a whale’s attack can send prices crashing like stepping on an empty staircase.
Many veteran players have summarized the pattern:
The first half of a bull market relies on narratives.
The second half depends on unlocks.
Because project teams always release chips at the hottest moments.
And the biggest tragedy for retail investors is often:
Growing with the project in the beginning.
Finally, leaving together with VCs.
So, the real danger of this May’s unlock isn’t just the price.
It’s the market sentiment.
Because once someone runs first,
panic spreads faster than selling pressure.
