RIVER token surged over 27% within 24 hours under the promotion of a certain exchange. The ecosystem is active, with satUSD supply reaching $159 million and over 870,000 users. However, the unlocked 364,000 tokens pose risks, and the future trend is full of uncertainty. Holders should exercise caution.

【Crypto World】RIVER’s recent market surge has been fierce. Driven by the booming spot trading activity on a major leading exchange and a certain trading platform, this token soared over 27% within 24 hours. On the data front, the entire ecosystem has also become more active—satUSD supply has surged to $159 million, user participation has exceeded 870,000, and the total value locked (TVL) on-chain has surpassed $316 million. From a technical perspective, coupled with support from Maelstrom founder Arthur Hayes, many believe RIVER has a chance to reach the $100 target. However, there is a hidden risk right in front of us. The 364,000 RIVER tokens set to unlock on January 22 are hanging over the market, and recent on-chain activity data has been somewhat volatile. How far this rally can go is really uncertain. Tokens that rise quickly often fall just as fast, so holders should be cautious.

A 27% increase looks great, but this unlocking wave is really intense. Can they still hold steady after dropping 364,000 tokens?

27%? Haha, that's just the appetizer. The 364,000 tokens unlocked on January 22 are the real stress test.

A 27% increase is indeed fierce, but I’m watching the unlocking wave on January 22nd... Honestly, I’m not confident about it. --- 100 dollars is too greedy; let’s stabilize what we have first. --- Another big influencer endorsement, and data exploding—I've seen through all the tricks. --- On-chain activities are unpredictable, and that’s the most concerning. Is this a signal to dump? --- A rapid rise is inevitably followed by a quick fall; no one can escape this curse. --- The unlocking of 364,000 tokens isn’t a small pressure, but looking at the market, maybe someone has already preempted it. --- I just want to know if Arthur Hayes is genuinely optimistic or just trying to cut the leeks again. --- Holders have to sleep uneasily these days.

ngl arthur hayes shilling this is exactly when you should be watching mempool like a hawk. 36.4k tokens unlocking jan 22? that's the kind of toxic flow that crushes retail. seen this pattern too many times—pump's just arbing spreads before the dump.
