RIVER is about to undergo a wave of concentrated unlocking. Around 08:00 on January 22nd (GMT+8), approximately 1.5 million tokens will be released from the lock-up period. Based on the current price, the market value is estimated to be around $36 million, accounting for 4.32% of the circulating supply. In addition, about 300 million RIVER tokens are in a 180-day dynamic transfer period, and when this portion enters the market is also a point of interest for subsequent developments.

From on-chain data, the movements of several major whale addresses are worth paying attention to. Two top wallets hold a considerable amount, while another address operates more discreetly, making it more difficult to track. Interestingly, one large holder withdrew 1.4 million RIVER from an exchange in early January and transferred it to other trading platforms. Currently, the value of this portion of tokens has risen to around $13 million, with unrealized gains exceeding 200%. This series of actions also reflects institutional attitudes toward RIVER's future prospects.

The unlocking event tomorrow is likely to cause some short-term impact on liquidity and price. Interested friends can follow the flow of these released tokens—whether they continue to be locked or are sold off in large quantities—some clues can be gleaned from this.

Another wave of unlocking, why do I feel like I'm unlocking every day... 1.5 million tokens are being released, I've seen this pace too many times before. Back when EOS was unlocking, I thought the same, and you all know the result. Large investors took a 200% profit and ran, smart people already got in early. We retail investors are still here counting when to sell. Haha, it's the arrangement of fate, brothers. Get your stop-loss orders ready for tomorrow. Don't ask me how I know; the self-cultivation of retail investors is to be ready to get out at any time.

Oops, releasing 1.5 million coins all at once, it looks like someone is going to have to cut their losses. Tomorrow, I need to keep a close eye on it and see how the whales move. That big investor's 200% return is pretty intense, and they're quite good at bottom fishing. The 3 billion conversion period is really the bomb, who knows when a big dump might suddenly happen. Anyway, I'm feeling timid; I might need to reduce my position tomorrow. This kind of unlocking event really tests your mentality; when a wave of selling pressure comes, someone has to buy the dip. We definitely need to pay attention to whale movements; the problem is they are too covert, making it impossible to track. The 180-day dynamic period setup feels like it's giving big investors room to operate.

When I checked the summary, the maximum supply is 100 million tokens. Am I wrong or what? Could you please help me explain?

It's coming tomorrow. This time, I need to keep a close eye on how the whales move. How did the big players achieve a 200% profit? Why do I always miss out? 300 million tokens are still in the lock-up period. The suspense is a bit intense. Will unlocking lead to a dump? Not necessarily. It depends on whether the whales are willing to sell. If this wave continues to be locked, it could actually be a positive. But I don't believe it.

Will tomorrow's unlock directly cause a dump? I feel like those 300 million tokens are the real ticking time bomb.

ngl 150m unlocking tomorrow is exactly how 2022 started for me... watched my health factor tank in real time. anyway, those whale movements? classic accumulation pattern before the dump. been there, lost that. just saying, watch those collateral ratios if you're holding, margin calls are coming whether we like it or not

Will tomorrow's unlock become the next trigger for a dump? That 200% operation by the big whales was truly impressive. As small retail investors, we'll just watch. 300 million tokens are still in the transition period. That's the real bomb. I understand the logic of selling before the unlock. When whales move, small fish run. With RIVER, it depends on the institutions' mood. 150,000 tokens are only 4.32%. Wow, the circulating supply is really large. Feeling that a rise tomorrow is a dream; a drop is the norm, haha. The guy who bought in early January probably can't stop smiling now. Hidden addresses are the most terrifying—who knows when they'll suddenly dump? At this pace, tomorrow will likely be volatile. I'll just watch the show.

Wow, 36 million will be dumped tomorrow. We have to see how the whales play this wave. That big account makes 200%, and we retail investors should hurry to run. Wait, there are still 300 million tokens in the conversion period? That’s probably the big head. How likely is it that they will directly dump tomorrow? It’s really going to be tough. Whales withdraw and then transfer back to exchanges. Are they accumulating bottom? The signal looks good. 1.5 million tokens released, liquidity is tightening, short-term outlook is bearish. I don’t understand, institutions are making such huge profits, how can we keep up?
