Major Token Releases Ahead: $1.69 Billion in Cryptocurrency Unlocks Set for This Week

The cryptocurrency market is bracing for a significant liquidity event over the next seven days. Data from blockchain trackers indicates approximately $1.69 billion worth of token unlocks are poised to hit the market, creating potential implications for price action and trader positioning across multiple projects.

Notable Single-Event Releases Exceeding $5 Million

Several prominent cryptocurrencies face substantial one-time token releases during this period. ONDO (Ondo Finance), with a circulating supply of 3.16 billion tokens, will see a major unlock event. Similarly, TRUMP (OFFICIAL TRUMP) at 200 million circulating tokens, along with CONX, ARB, DBR (deBridge - 1.8 billion circulating supply), CHEEL (Cheelee with 56.8 million tokens), STRK (Starknet holding 5.04 billion circulating tokens), SEI (6.49 billion in circulation), and ZK (zkSync at 8.57 billion tokens) are all scheduled for significant releases exceeding $5 million each.

These concentrated unlocks could introduce short-term selling pressure, as newly available tokens typically enter the market when they’re freed from vesting schedules or lock-up periods.

Continuous Daily Distributions: Multiple Projects Releasing Steady Supply

Beyond the major single unlocks, numerous projects have ongoing daily token releases that will surpass $1 million per day throughout the week. This category includes RAIN and SOL (Solana with 565.2 million in circulation), TRUMP (appearing in both categories), WLD (Worldcoin at 2.72 billion circulating tokens), RIVER, DOGE (DogeCoin boasting 168.27 billion in circulation), AVAX (Avalanche with 430.48 million tokens), ASTER (1.66 billion circulating supply), and TAO (Bittensor).

Linear unlock schedules typically have a more gradual impact on markets compared to lump-sum releases, as the supply enters circulation incrementally. However, with multiple projects unlocking simultaneously, aggregate selling pressure across these tokens warrants close monitoring.

What This Means for Traders and Investors

The concentration of token unlocks during a single week presents both risks and opportunities. High-volume supply entering the market can weigh on prices if demand fails to absorb the new tokens. Conversely, market participants who anticipate these releases might position defensively, creating tactical trading opportunities around the unlock dates.

Tracking unlock schedules has become essential due diligence for cryptocurrency investors, as these events often correlate with volatility patterns. The scale of this week’s unlocks—exceeding $1.69 billion—makes it a notable period worth monitoring across major and mid-cap digital assets.
