Lesser known token unlocks

Several smaller projects included in the unlock schedule could face more substantial price impacts due to their lower liquidity and trading volumes. According to CoinMarketCap data, several projects show significant unlock progress:

• PlayZap (PZP) shows 63.54% unlock progress, with 2.41 million PZP ($104,785) scheduled for release.
• BENQI (QI) at 44.12% progress, preparing to unlock 105.88 million QI ($164M)
