Token Unlock Wave: Why Are Retail Holders Getting Anxious?

Recently, many voices have been heard in the community—#比特币与黄金战争 retail investors want to unlock the 80% of tokens that are frozen. This seems simple on the surface, but it actually reflects a common issue in crypto projects: the contradiction between liquidity management and community expectations.

Currently, a large amount of retail tokens are still locked in pools, leading to severe liquidity shortages. With the New Year approaching, many holders are facing cash flow pressures—they need some spare cash for New Year shopping, family gatherings, and gifts. Frozen assets are indeed uncomfortable.

From a market perspective, what can unlocking these 80% of tokens achieve? Three benefits are evident:

First, increasing token circulation will boost trading activity, and transaction volume and participation within the ecosystem will rise accordingly; second, it alleviates the panic of "assets being locked," naturally restoring community confidence and easing negative emotions; third, the project team actively releasing tokens can earn the trust of retail holders, and this long-term loyalty is crucial for sustainable ecosystem development.

Of course, concerns about unlocking are not unfounded. Initially, locking tokens was meant to prevent large sell-offs and market dumps. But $WLFI has now established a certain foundation, and mechanisms like linear release and phased unlocking can be used to balance risks—it's not an either-or choice.

The community hopes to see concrete actions from the project team:
- Develop a clear token unlocking plan (e.g., linear release)
- Publicly release a detailed unlocking schedule

The New Year is a new beginning, and such win-win measures can help the $WLFI community achieve a healthier state.
