Is there a lock-up period for block trading stocks?

Yes According to the new rules of block trading, block trading has a lock-up period, but the trading of major shareholders is restricted. Shareholders holding more than 5% of the shares of listed companies have a lock-up period of six months, during which block transactions are not allowed. If the market of non-shareholder retail investors is not good, T+ 1 trading rules will generally be adopted for subsequent transactions, so the lock-up period is not a block transaction for non-shareholders.
