# Why did Akedo drop 4.4% on October 28, 2026?

A reported token unlock is a possible source of selling pressure, but the evidence does not establish a link to the fall. No verified event during the move explains the spike and fall back. In the 24 hours to Oct 28, 2026, 18:00 UTC, AKE went from about $0.021638 to $0.022061 (-4.40%) on Gate · USDT, trading between $0.01911 and $0.02366. AKE's move can't be compared with Bitcoin's yet; the figures below describe the move, not its cause. AKE fell further than this on 10 of the past 29 days. No AKE report was collected from the day before to the day after; the cause is unresolved.

## What may be driving the move

A reported token unlock is a possible source of selling pressure, but the evidence does not establish a link to the fall. No verified event during the move explains the spike and fall back.

- trigger · low: A report published Oct 23, 08:00 UTC said tokens worth $62 million, or 9% of circulating supply, had been unlocked two days earlier. A resulting increase in available tokens could add selling pressure.
  Evidence gap: This predates the move; no evidence shows who sold, when any selling occurred, or that the unlock caused this fall.

- amplifier · insufficient_evidence: Open interest in coin units rose over the measured window, while funding stayed positive. This shows derivatives positioning changed, but does not establish its direction or liquidation-driven selling.
  Evidence gap: Buyer-initiated volume share was nearly unchanged; no liquidation timing or directional position data links derivatives to the fall.

Open question: Did the unlock lead to selling during this move, and when did the fall begin?
