That was not giving pressure to market since XRP had very big liquidity. It's not all of unlocked coins will be going to the market as well. The dumb from the team to grab cash may still happen but as far as i can see that if nothing happened with ripple.
The recent dump that happens to the ripple triggered by bitcoin. It's not from the token unlock. I saw that if the token unlock doesn't give impact to the price.
I would prefer to use XRP as long term investment. It seems like that if court sees crypto as one of the important thing now. SEC was so crazy by blindly accusing everything related to the crypto.
