Daily Brief Crypto: The Impact of Token Unlock Events on Cryptocurrency Prices: An Empirical Analysis and more

In today’s briefing:

  • The Impact of Token Unlock Events on Cryptocurrency Prices: An Empirical Analysis
  • LayerZero Part 3: $ZRO Token


The Impact of Token Unlock Events on Cryptocurrency Prices: An Empirical Analysis

By Animoca Brands Research

  • Large unlocks (over 1% of circulating supply) significantly impact prices, mainly concentrated in the week before and after the unlock. A 1% token unlock triggers, on average, a 0.3% price drop over the week preceding the unlock and another 0.3% drop over the week following the unlock.
  • The strongest price effects occur two days before the unlock and on the third and fourth days after the unlock. Interestingly, the actual unlock day and the day after show little price impact.
  • The similar magnitude of price drops before and after the unlock suggests that market anticipation is just as influential as the actual selling pressure.

LayerZero Part 3: $ZRO Token

By Animoca Brands Research

  • The $ZRO token was introduced in June 2024, with planned utilities that include protocol governance, transaction fee payment, and staking for DVN security. All three utilities have strong implications for $ZRO’s value.
  • We foresee that the next three years will be marked by a rapid increase in $ZRO’s circulating supply, alongside growing utilization within the protocol and its adoption as a common currency for cross-chain trades.
  • We propose a valuation framework for $ZRO that leverages the Market Cap to Transaction Volume (MC-Tx) ratio, combined with projected transaction volume scenarios. This framework aims to provide readers with a perspective on the relationship between protocol growth and token value.

Crypto Crisp: What’s with the U.S. Fed?

By Mads Eberhardt

  • The past week was notably eventful, marked by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) cutting interest rates for the U.S. Dollar by 25 basis points.
  • However, the Fed struck a hawkish tone for the coming year, signaling fewer interest rate cuts than the market had anticipated.
  • This shift unsettled investors, with the crypto market bearing the brunt of the reaction.

Crypto Moves #57 – The Most Vital Onchain Metrics for Adoption

By Mads Eberhardt

  • I have mentioned this before, and I am happy to emphasize it once again: the supply of block space far exceeds demand.
  • There is simply not enough activity, use cases, or applications to fill the available block space across all smart contract-capable blockchains.
  • This imbalance is why I firmly believe that adoption and network activity are the most critical factors for any blockchain seeking to compete with Ethereum, Solana, or the few other networks that have gained significant traction.

Crypto Moves #56 – Suddenly We Are Once Again Discussing Inflation

By Mads Eberhardt

  • It should come as no surprise that inflation dominated headlines throughout 2022 and 2023.
  • This was largely because central banks around the world, including the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB), had to respond to rising inflation by aggressively increasing interest rates.
  • The chart below highlights these interest rate changes.

TON Part 2: A Win-Win Outcome from One Year of Partnership

By Animoca Brands Research

  • In September 2023, TON Foundation and Telegram announced a strategic partnership with the ambitious goal of onboarding 30% of Telegram’s active users to TON by 2028. Serving as the infrastructure layer, TON leveraged Telegram Mini-App to reach and engage Telegram’s vast user base.
  • The success of Notcoin paved the way for activating Mini-App users through social games. Subsequently, users were introduced to crypto through airdrops of game-launched tokens and meme coins. To support this growth trajectory, the foundation has utilized TON Grants, The Open League, and offline events to align with these objectives.
  • By July 2024, Telegram Mini Apps reached 500 million monthly active users (MAUs), elevating Telegram’s MAUs to a new peak of 950 million. By October, 30 million of these users had transitioned into the cryptocurrency world.
