Crypto Markets Brace for Impact: Massive Coin Releases Set to Rock the Ecosystem Next Week

Hold onto your wallets—the crypto universe is about to get turbulent. Next week’s scheduled coin releases promise seismic shifts across exchanges, with traders bracing for potential volatility.

Why it matters: When supply floods the market, prices tend to wobble like a DeFi project after a hack. Projects unloading tokens could trigger sell-offs—or spark frenzied buying if FOMO kicks in.

The players: While the original data stays under wraps, expect major Layer 1 tokens and altcoins to dominate the unlock calendar. Smart money’s already positioning—either hedging or doubling down like a VC fund chasing the next memecoin.

Bottom line: These releases aren’t just portfolio shakeups—they’re stress tests for market liquidity. And let’s be honest: nothing exposes ‘paper hands’ faster than a double-digit percentage drop before breakfast.
