OpenEden Delays Token Unlock to 2027 Amid 97% Price Drop

• OpenEden locks team tokens until 2027 amid price struggles.
• EDEN trading down 97% as platform reaffirms growth focus.

On March 31, 2026, Cryptonews.net revealed OpenEden extended team token lockups by 9 months, pushing all unlocks to January 2027. This voluntary decision by the blockchain-based Real-World Asset (RWA) platform aims to demonstrate long-term conviction and better align team incentives with the project's growth trajectory.

The announcement comes as OpenEden’s native token, EDEN, trades at approximately $0.029, marking a steep 97% drop from its all-time high. By delaying the unlock period, OpenEden seeks to ease potential sell pressure and address investor concerns regarding insider token liquidations.

Despite the decline in EDEN’s value, OpenEden accomplished significant milestones in its institutional efforts over the past year. In October 2025, its tokenized U.S. Treasuries product, the TBILL Fund, was rated 'AA+f' by S&P Global, following an 'A' rating from Moody’s. This dual-rating achievement underscores the fund’s credibility. Managed by BNY Mellon, TBILL exemplifies the platform’s push towards institutional-grade adoption of RWAs.

Additionally, in December 2025, OpenEden secured strategic investment during a funding round led by Ripple, with contributions from Lightspeed Faction and FalconX. These developments highlight the platform’s growing reputation in bridging traditional finance with blockchain technologies.

By opting to extend the lockup period, OpenEden signals confidence in its long-term vision while aiming to build a more sustainable ecosystem for EDEN stakeholders.
