Token unlocking is generally very bearish for digital asset prices as it unfreezes liquidity and injects it into the open market. SAND tokens have been in a bearish trend since the first 30 days of unlocking.

On July 15, the token was hovering around $0.45. As of writing, the price dropped to $0.39. SAND currently has a 24-hour trading volume of $106 million, according to coin information site CoinGecko.
