The altcoin market is strapping in for a rocky week ahead as major events are set to take place in the following days which would influence the rise and fall of prices in the market. Here are a few projects to look out for in the week ahead.
After the delay of the pump.fun $4 billion-token debut from its initial June 25 launch, many traders will be on the lookout for more opportunities to make profit on major token launches or other developments in the market.
In the next few days, there will be quite a few tokens and projects with major events marked on their calendars that could influence price movements and market sentiment.
Here are a few altcoin announcements to keep an eye on in the following week:
Infinex: Big announcement on June 24
Infinex is expected to make a “big announcement” on June 24 at noon EST, according to the platform’s X account and hinted by Infinex Founder Kain Warwick at Token2049. Many altcoin market traders suspect that the announcement will likely be tied to its new “Infinex Connect” platform.
Infinex Connect grants users the ability to connect their account to external dApps and access Infinex features through dApps. Although Infinex does not have its own native token, it does have a governance system where users can earn “governance points” to fuel activity on the platform.
MGO: Token launch and airdrop events on June 24
Mango Network is gearing up to launch its token generation event with a total supply of 10 billion MGO. The token is scheduled to be listed on a number of major crypto exchanges, including Bitget, MEXC, and KuCoin on June 24, 2024 09:00 AM UTC.
According to the announcement, the project will set aside 1 billion MGO to be airdropped to early supporters, with 5% distributed through a testnet airdrop and 5% allocated for a mainnet airdrop. The token’s airdrop event could trigger a surge in the new token’s price. However altcoin market traders should also keep in mind of the seven-year unlocking period.

AST: AirSwapDAO Discord Call on June 25
AirSwap’s native token, AST, recently saw a 53% surge in the market ahead of its much anticipated members-only Discord call. According to its official X post, the call is set to take place on June 25 at 6:30 UTC. The anticipation for the result of the governance call may be fueling its ongoing rally.
BLAST: 34% token unlocking on June 26
Approximately 10.5 billion BLAST (BLAST) tokens unlock on June 26 at 22:00 Beijing time (14:00 UTC). This chunk of tokens represents 35% of the total circulating supply and is worth around $25 million according to current market prices.
Historically, such large unlocks create sell pressure. Analysts forecast a price drop of around 23% for BLAST next week. Altcoin market traders should watch out for a continued dip, with potential rebounds if on-chain usage absorbs the decline.

INJ: Injective Summit on June 26
The Injective (INJ) Summit, scheduled to take place on June 26, is expected to make headlines with announcements involving “Injective Alpha” and other institutional-grade integrations, as hinted by the summit materials.
Positive news from the summit could spark a price rally for INJ, as price usually climbs after events ahead of such events due to market anticipation. Therefore, a strong announcement may drive a larger breakout, but a lackluster reveal could prompt a sharp drop.
ACX: 100m token unlock on June 29
Across Protocol is set to unlock 100 million ACX tokens on June 29, which is equal to 22.65% of its circulating supply and worth around $15.7 million. Though the upcoming unlock is much smaller compared to its massive June 28 release, it could still lead to moderate selling pressure in the altcoin market.
The unlock could drive the price down by 10% to 15% if a majority of altcoin market traders choose to sell instead of hold. However, if traders choose to stake or the protocol absorbs tokens for liquidity incentives, the price impact may be muted.
OP: Over 31m token unlock on June 29
On June 29, Optimism (OP) is set to unlock approximately 31.34 million OP tokens. This represents around 1.83% of its circulating supply, valued at approximately $18 million.
In the past, unlocks of this scale tend to trigger 2% to 3% price drops as token holders choose to liquidate their holdings rather than suffer corrections. However, there is still a possibility of new buyers soaking tokens amidst the drop and softening the blow.
BERA: Berachain begins to shift revenue Focus
The Berachain (BERA) mainnet is currently realigning toward revenue generation through its “proof-of-liquidity” model, deploying protocol fees back into liquidity over the coming weeks. The revenue shift could potentially attract yield-focused capital, which in turn could prompt a rise in BERA price.
However, momentum depends on actual revenue traction and how the altcoin market reacts to the change.

SNX: Synthetix Exchange prepares to go live on Ethereum
At the beginning of this month, Synthetix announced that it will be launching its first perpetual futures DEX on the Ethereum (ETH) Mainnet. Although the project has not revealed an exact date for when the platform will go live, altcoin market traders expect it to come soon.
For SNX (SNX), live trading activity could reignite demand as users migrate positions and liquidity back to Ethereum. This move could also strengthen SNX governance and fee-tier structures tied to perps volume.
BTC: Iran geopolitical risk watch
Since geopolitical tensions have been escalating after the U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, Bitcoin (BTC) has dipped below the $100,000 threshold, reaching as low as $98,467. It has slowly recovered, barely able to regain back its place above $100k as it stands at $101,857.
However, altcoin market traders should keep their eyes on the possibility of retaliation from Iran’s side, which could inject volatility into both crypto and macro markets. U.S. agencies have warned that Iranian hacker groups may retaliate via cyberattacks targeting financial systems, which could include crypto.
In fact, as previously reported by crypto.news, the concern spread within the Bitcoin ETFs market, which have dropped more than 26% in inflows compared to the previous week.
