Prepping for a Week of Token Unlocks: $SUI, $MEME, and Other Major Cryptocurrencies Will Be Unlocked in Millions of Dollars Worth

The cryptocurrency market is preparing for an upcoming week when most tokens will be unlocked across popular platforms. These unlocks sum up to hundreds of millions of dollars and hold significant value, demonstrating their potential to alter related tokens’ supply, demand, and market sentiment.

Cryptocurrency markets are gearing up for a bustling week ahead as a slew of major token unlocks are set to take place on several popular platforms. These unlocks, collectively valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars, will significantly impact the supply, demand, and market sentiment of the respective tokens.

Here's a closer look at the upcoming token unlocks:

December 3:

$SUI (Sui blockchain project): 81.91M tokens (0.82% of total token supply), valued at $301.82 million

$MEME (meme economy): 3.51B tokens (5.09% of total token supply), currently valued at $55.94 million

December 4:

$DAR (Mines of Dalarnia game): 9.03M tokens (1.13% of total token supply), valued at $1.92 million

$AI (Sleepless AI in AI projects): 10.62M tokens (1.06% of total token supply), valued at $7.92 million

December 5:

$GAL (Galxe Web3 credential data network): 2.03M tokens (1.01% of total cryptocurrency supply), valued at $4.88 million

December 6:

$NEXT (Everclear project): Remaining 23.83M tokens (2.38% of total token supply), valued at $3.02 million

December 7:

$HFT (Hashflow): A portion of tokens will be unlocked

$JTO (Jito Labs): A portion of tokens will be unlocked

$NEON (Neon): A portion of tokens will be unlockedThese token unlocks stem from an initial allocation of tokens to investors, advisors, and teams involved in the early stages of these projects. As per the tokenomics models, a specific portion of these tokens is locked for a duration of time, after which they become available for use.

For instance, Sui blockchain’s native token $SUI had an initial total supply of 10 billion tokens, out of which 30% (3 billion tokens) were allocated to the community and set to unlock over four years. The upcoming unlock on December 3 is part of this allocation.

On the other hand, Mines of Dalarnia game tokens ($DAR) had an initial total supply of 800 million tokens, with 12% (96 million tokens) allocated to investors and subject to a one-year lockup followed by monthly unlocks over two years. The upcoming December 4 unlock is part of this allocation.

Token unlocking is an integral part of the cryptocurrency venture cycle, presenting unique opportunities and scenarios for investors. Some investors may choose to sell their tokens upon unlocking, while others may view it as an opportunity to buy tokens at potentially lower prices.

With over $863 million worth of tokens set to be unlocked across these projects, the crypto market is bound to experience an active week. On the positive side, it expands trading and investment opportunities, but on the downside, more tokens can lead to increased volatility in the market.
