The distribution of funds includes $50.4 million for the project’s team, $25.2 million for strategic partners, $18.7 million for the Avalanche Foundation, and $12.6 million set aside for a possible airdrop.
Following Avalanche’s last token unlock in August, where an equal amount of tokens were released, AVAX experienced a 12.5% decrease in value within 30 days. However, since that unlock event, AVAX has seen an 11% increase and is currently trading at $11.15.
