Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, posited that the recent drop in altcoin prices was anticipated due to last week’s significant token unlocks. He noted that digital assets such as Aptos, IMX, Starknet, SEI and Arbitrum had unlocks totaling US$483 million. This situation pressured venture capital investors to withdraw money, contributing to the downward pressure on Bitcoin.
