Token Unlock Details
Unlock Date: Mar 18th , 2026
Tokens to be Unlocked: 30 million BARD
%Circulating supply- 11.09%
Total Supply- 1 billion BARD
Scheduled to carry out a major token unlock on March 18, 2026, Lombard Finance will release 30 million BARD tokens—almost 3% of the whole supply—worth about USD 45 million. Divided evenly between Airdrop Season 1 and Season 2 participants, this release will raise the circulating supply to 255 million tokens and might apply 5-15% of downward price pressure based on past market reactions to related liquidity events. Investors are paying great attention to whether this unlock will cause a short-term sell-off or be absorbed by institutional "whales" seeking to increase their exposure to the growing Bitcoin DeFi market as BARD serves as the fundamental security layer for Lombard's USD 2 billion liquid-staked Bitcoin (LBTC) ecosystem, which drives yields across 70+ DeFi applications like Aave and EigenLayer.
