DATA Foundation extends team and lead investor token lockups by 18 months, leaving Aug. 13 unlock date without replacement
AI Market Summary
DATA Foundation extended team and lead-investor lockups by 18 months past a previously published Aug. 13 unlock date, without disclosing a new schedule, affected wallets, token amounts, or enforcement details. The move reduces near-term supply overhang but raises governance and transparency risk around vesting mechanics. The broader context of large upcoming insider unlocks across crypto (e.g., Pump Fun) keeps markets sensitive to unlock-related liquidity shocks.

DATA Foundation has kept team and lead investor tokens locked past Aug. 13, even though that date appeared in an earlier public supply schedule, and it has not published a new unlock date. The foundation said on June 25 it extended those lockups by an additional 18 months, but did not specify when the extension starts or how it is enforced. Early Backers and Core Contributors account for 41.6% of the project’s allocation buckets, with both set to unlock over 48 months. Separate coverage also flagged a potential wider unlock wave tied to returning VC funding and noted Pump Fun plans to unlock $127M of insider tokens on July 12, about double PUMP’s recent average daily volume.
