82.96% SPEC Token Unlock Coming on May 6th

On May 6, 2025, a massive 82.96% of Spectral (SPEC) tokens are scheduled to be unlocked, marking one of the largest token unlock events for this project. This unlock will release approximately 10 million SPEC tokens, which equates to about 6% of the total supply, which seems minor, but will significantly increase the circulating supply and liquidity available on the market.

Size and Potential Market Impact

• Although the 10 million tokens represent 6% of the total supply, the figure of 82.96% refers to the proportion of currently locked tokens being released on this date, making it a very substantial unlock relative to the locked portion.
• This large unlock is expected to create a considerable supply shock, as a significant portion of previously illiquid tokens becomes available for trading.
• Historically, such large unlocks—especially involving team and investor allocations—tend to trigger increased selling pressure, leading to heightened volatility and potential downward price movement.

Supply Shock and Price Dynamics

• The unlock includes tokens allocated to investors (3.8 million) and team members (2.2 million), groups that have historically contributed to sharper price declines due to uncoordinated selling.
• Market data and past trends suggest price impact often begins up to 30 days before the unlock, with the most pronounced declines occurring around the unlock date itself.
• However, some portion of tokens may be staked or used in ecosystem development, which can help absorb supply and mitigate the severity of price drops.

Summary

The May 6 unlock of 82.96% of locked SPEC tokens is a major event likely to cause significant market movement due to the large increase in circulating supply. Traders and investors should prepare for increased volatility and potential price pressure in the weeks surrounding the unlock. The scale and nature of this unlock classify it as a huge unlock, one that can reshape supply-demand dynamics and market sentiment for SPEC in the short term.
