According to Tokenomist, 15 altcoins will unlock more than $5 million each in the next 7 days. Wu Blockchain data shows that the total unlocked value exceeds $906 million
The cryptocurrency market is known for its volatility, which can be influenced by various factors, including token unlocks. Token unlocks occur when previously locked-up tokens, typically held by founders, early investors, or a protocol’s treasury, become transferable in the open market.
This influx of new tokens into circulation can exert downward pressure on prices, especially if the unlocks are substantial. According to Tokenomist, 15 altcoins will unlock more than $5 million each in the next seven days. Wu Blockchain data shows that the total unlocked value exceeds $906 million, of which the TRUMP token will unlock more than $330 million.
Tokenomist’s data shows that over 38 altcoins are set to cliff-unlock in the next seven days. An installment unlock allows a certain number of tokens to be unlocked immediately after a certain period. For example, a token that has 12 months of installment unlocks will have 1/12 of the total unlocked tokens released each month.
Out of these, 15 altcoins will unlock over $5 million. The table below shows the list of coins with over $5 million in token value. This list includes Official Trump (TRUMP), Fasttoken (FTN), Connex (CONX), QuantixAI(QAI), Arbitrum (ARB), deBridge (DRB), UXLINK (UXLINK), Starknet (STRK), Omni Network (OMNI), Melania Meme (MELANIA), Immutable (IMX), Sei (SEI), ApeCoin (APE), Onyxcoin (XCN), etc.
Among these 15 tokens, OMNI, DRB, TRUMP and QAI will unlock the largest percentage of their circulating supply. After the unlock, the remaining circulating supply will be 19.06%, 36.76%, 80% and 87.3%. Typically, when a token unlock accounts for over 1% of the crypto’s circulating supply, it will likely impact the price more.
Moreover, the large token linear unlocks this week include Solana unlocks 465,770 SOL tokens, which are worth $60.95 million; Worldcoin 37.23 million WLD tokens, which are worth $27.91 million; and Celestia will release 6.96 million TIA tokens which are worth $17.12 million.
While an increase in a cryptocurrency’s circulating supply is typically bearish, planned unlock schedules may have less impact since the community of traders anticipates the unlock and positions themselves accordingly. However, traders should remain cautious as the increased supply from token unlocks frequently generates negative sentiment among investors, which can weigh down prices.
