Why Do Prices Rise Before Token Unlocks, Yet Not Necessarily Fall Afterward?

In the cryptocurrency market, token unlocks are often viewed as a potential source of selling pressure.

When a project is about to release a batch of previously locked tokens, investors often worry that an increase in circulating supply may put pressure on the price.

But sometimes the market moves in the opposite direction:

The price continues to rise before the unlock; it does not fall significantly on the unlock day; and it may even remain strong after the unlock is completed.

This does not mean token unlocks c

The things rich people get up to behind closed doors are far wilder than outsiders imagine. After reading it, all I could think was, “Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit.”
#ETH The current price is 2050, still following BTC lower, with greater sensitivity and a more pronounced decline. It’s difficult to see any independent buying support in the market. Near-term resistance is in the 2090–2110 range. A recovery bounce will only be possible if BTC stabilizes and strengthens, and ETH also moves above this level on increased volume, with the next test being resistance near 2150. The first key support below is the round-number level of 2000, a psychological line in the sand for bulls in recent weeks. If bears break below it decisively, there will be more room to fall

Ma Huateng is genuinely feeling the pressure this time.
At Tencent’s 28th-anniversary internal livestream, he proposed a “50% Army + 50% Navy” strategy:
Army: Protect cash cows such as gaming and advertising, and use AI to boost efficiency.
Navy: Explore AI-native products overseas and look for the next big thing.
Is Tencent short on cash? Not at all. Q2 revenue was 204.8 billion, with profits of 75.6 billion. Ma Huateng’s real concern is that the existing businesses are so profitable that the organization has grown accustomed to its past path to success.
Back then, success didn’t come from si

By the way, have you guys tried the “Money” module in the Gate App lately? I’d never really paid attention to it before, but I tried it recently and it’s a real hidden gem. It brings deposits and withdrawals, card payments, and wealth management all together. Here’s a quick rundown 👇
🌟 The best part: a fiat account in your own name (highly recommend this one!)
What’s the biggest worry when withdrawing funds? Having some corporate platform listed as the recipient, which gets the bank calling you to ask questions. Now this feature gives you an overseas virtual account in your own name, complet

A Wallet Is Not a Safe: Private Keys, Seed Phrases, and Addresses—Who Really Controls Your Assets?

In the cryptocurrency world, many people have wallets but may not truly understand how they work.

Some believe assets are stored in the wallet; others think that as long as they remember the wallet address, they can recover their assets; still others treat private keys and seed phrases as the same thing.

These ideas may seem similar, but they differ in important ways.

To understand wallets, you first need to distinguish between three concepts: addresses, private keys, and seed phrases.

Stay far away from $ERA . I don't even want to imagine how many bodies are buried beneath this 21% green candle. The current price is 0.0962, with $93 million in 24-hour trading volume; it peaked at 0.0986 and bottomed at 0.0789—do you know what that means? People who sold at a loss at this morning's low are now staring at this candle and smoking, while those who chased the price are stuck holding the bag at 0.0986. Market sentiment has entered FOMO territory, with money rushing in like hungry wolves, but rallies on this kind of volume are most prone to triggering a long squeeze. If nobody step
