Starknet token surged 4.6% as institutional interest floods in—but the upside comes with strings attached.
The rally rides two waves: first, a major crypto platform's recent ETF filing has sparked fresh optimism around STRK, signaling mainstream institutional appetite. Second, technicals are cooperating—MACD turned bullish and price reclaimed critical moving averages. Trading volume spiked 30%, confirming this isn't just noise.
Here's the catch though. A 127M token unlock looms ahead. That's real supply pressure coming to market, and history shows unlocks can trigger profit-taking even in bullish environments.
So the playbook seems clear: ride the institutional momentum, but watch that unlock calendar closely. The crowd's in, but the clock's ticking.

Once institutions come in, they have to run. Throwing down 127M is all for nothing.

So what if institutions come? Unlocking 127M will be useless...

Institutional entry looks promising, but what happens when the 127M unlock hits? Can this wave hold up?

It's the same old trick. Institutions enter the market and like to see a rise, then turn around and have to run. The 127M unlock is said to be a dump, history repeating itself.

Institutional entry is a good thing, but the 127M unlock is hanging over our heads... Feeling a bit anxious.

Institutional entry is indeed attractive, but the 127M unlock is just sitting there... I'll wait and see, afraid of being cut.

127M unlocks and it has to run right away. I’m too familiar with this routine... When institutions buy, we get excited too, but when the supply actually hits? Uh, goodbye everyone.
