🚨 $653M Token Unlock Tsunami Hits This Week—Which Altcoins Will Get Crushed?

Hold onto your private keys—this week's token unlocks are about to shake the market harder than a Bitcoin maximalist at a DeFi conference.

The $653M question: Which projects will see their charts bleed faster than a leveraged trader ignoring stop-losses?

Supply shock incoming: Watch for altcoins with weak fundamentals to nosedive as vesting periods expire. Meanwhile, blue-chip tokens will likely eat the sell pressure like whales at a plankton buffet—because in crypto, liquidity always flows where the hype goes.

Funny how these 'scheduled unlocks' never seem to align with bull runs—almost like teams want to cash out quietly while retail's distracted by the next shiny meme coin.

Major Single Cliff Unlocks

Among the largest cliff unlocks this week:

• FTN will release 20 million tokens worth $91.8M (2.13% of supply)
• APT (Aptos) will unlock 11.31M tokens valued at $53.72M (2.25%)
• ARB (Arbitrum) will see 92.65M tokens worth $43.91M (2.08%)
• AVAX (Avalanche) will unlock 1.67M tokens worth $40.15M (0.33%)
• SEI will release 55.56M tokens valued at $18.13M (1.22%)

STRK, LAYEY, CYBER, and ZK also feature in the high-value unlock list, with LAYEY and CYBER unlocking over 10% of their circulating supply.

Large Linear Unlocks

The largest continuous unlock over the week comes from solana (SOL), releasing 465,770 tokens worth $93.18M, representing 0.09% of its circulating supply. Other notable linear unlocks include:

• TRUMP: $45.92M (2.45%)
• WLD (Worldcoin): $40.50M (2.03%)

TIA, SUI, MORPHO, ETHFI, and DOT are also on the list, each with over $8M worth of tokens unlocking.

Interestingly, SEI appears in both cliff and linear unlock categories, with a combined release worth over $26M in the linear segment alone.
Market Impact and Investor Outlook

Historically, large token unlocks can put downward pressure on prices if newly available supply enters the market quickly. However, market reaction often depends on investor sentiment, overall liquidity, and whether the unlocks were already priced in.

Traders are closely watching projects with double-digit percentage supply unlocks like LAYEY and CYBER, as well as high-value names such as SOL, FTN, and WLD, for potential volatility spikes. Long-term holders may also monitor these events for possible entry points if prices dip on increased supply.
