Massive $790M Token Unlock Alert: Optimism (OP) and Fasttoken (FTN) Lead This Week’s Crypto Release

Crypto markets brace for impact as nearly $800 million worth of tokens hit circulation—just another Tuesday in digital asset land.

Unlock Tsunami Incoming

Optimism's OP tokens lead the charge with $450 million hitting wallets, while Fasttoken's FTN adds another $340 million to the liquidity pool. That's enough capital to make even traditional finance brokers glance up from their spreadsheets—briefly.

Market Mechanics at Play

Token unlocks typically create selling pressure as early investors and team members finally get to cash out. But seasoned crypto traders know these events often get priced in weeks ahead—or become buying opportunities for those who missed earlier entries.

Smart money watches these unlocks like hawks, while retail investors panic-sell into the noise. Because nothing says 'healthy market' like scheduled multi-million dollar dilution events that would make any equity trader's compliance department have a stroke.

Optimism leads large cliff unlocks

Optimism dominates the cliff unlock schedule with 116 million OP tokens worth $91.49 million being released. This unlock is 6.89% of OP’s total unlock supply allocation. The substantial release makes OP the largest single cliff event in the weekly schedule.

As per Tokenomist data, Fasttoken follows closely with 20 million FTN tokens valued at $89.80 million in cliff unlocks. This release accounts for 2.08% of FTN’s unlock supply allocation.

ZRO secures third position with 25.71 million tokens worth $51.16 million being unlocked. This event represents 8.53% of ZRO’s unlock allocation in a concentrated release. VELO contributes 3 billion tokens valued at $49.32 million despite the large token count. This release carries substantial weight at 13.63% of VELO’s unlock supply.

ARB rounds out the top five with 92.65 million tokens worth $47.80 million being released. This unlock represents 2.03% of ARB’s unlock supply allocation.

Solana heads large linear unlocks
