Fast answer
Token-unlock signal checks prove whether release size, holder type, float, liquidity, and timing were visible.
Before accepting a token-unlock signal, record the unlock calendar source, vesting date, token amount, circulating-supply percentage, recipient category, exchange liquidity, market cap, price trend, signal timestamp, invalidation, updates, and final status.
If a provider warns about unlock sell pressure without showing release size relative to float and liquidity, the claim is not reviewable.
Unlock checks
What to inspect in crypto token unlock signal records.
Release size
The record should show tokens unlocked, dollar value, and percentage of circulating supply, not just the calendar date.
Holder type
Team, investor, ecosystem, treasury, community, and linear vesting categories can carry different behavior.
Liquidity depth
A large unlock in a thin market is different from a scheduled release absorbed by deep venues.
Reaction history
Prior unlock reactions can help frame risk, but they do not guarantee the next event will behave the same way.
Source context
Token unlock calendars can flag supply events, but they do not prove immediate sell pressure.
CoinMarketCap lists token unlock and vesting schedules for major crypto projects, while Binance explains token unlocks as previously locked tokens released according to project vesting schedules. A signal should preserve the exact event details before turning that schedule into a trade claim.
Review standard
A reviewable token-unlock signal connects supply risk to a time-stamped trade record.
For CSR evidence review, token-unlock records should include source, vesting date, token amount, circulating-supply share, holder category, liquidity depth, price context, entry, invalidation, updates, and final outcome.
