The meaning of "linear unlocks" and "$62.85M being released daily"
When you say that Solana (SOL) is releasing $62.85M daily under "linear unlocks" — it means that some SOL tokens (which were previously in lock or vesting) are now being gradually brought into the market. This means that this amount (value) is being unlocked day by day, not all at once in one day.
This means supply is increasing, but 'linear' means 'gradually / in succession' — which reduces risk compared to a sudden supply spike.
📈 Why is '0.09% supply impact' being mentioned?
'0.09% supply impact' likely indicates that the rate of this unlock — whether it is $62.85M daily — is not a significantly large increment in the context of total circulating supply. Meaning: a one-day unlock is only 0.09% of the total supply.
Since the percentage increase is low, it will not be a 'big shock'.
✅ 'Ecosystem is absorbing' — why?
If it is claimed that 'the ecosystem is absorbing', there may be several possible reasons for this:
The new unlocked supply is being bought by the market (or ecosystem participants) — meaning demand is such that the effect of the supply increase is not impacting the price.
Or the supply unlock is so gradual that the market has automatically absorbed it without a major price drop.
It is possible that whatever is being unlocked is not directly coming for trading or selling as we think, but is maintained as staking, ecosystem use (DeFi / apps), or holdings — thus reducing pressure on price.
⚠️ But — this is still a 'risk factor'.
If demand decreases or interest is absent, even gradual unlocks can negatively impact price.
'0.09%' is small today, but if the unlock rate remains consistently, it can create a cumulative effect over time — meaning supply will continue to increase.
The timing of unlocks, how many holders will sell, is unpredictable — they may sometimes increase sell pressure.
