Major Crypto Unlock Alert: SOL, AVAX, and DOGE Brace for $790M Supply Surge This Week
Get ready for a tidal wave of tokens hitting the market—Solana, Avalanche, and Dogecoin collectively unleash nearly $790 million in previously locked assets this week.
The Unlocking Mechanism
Protocols schedule these releases to manage inflation and reward early supporters, but timing's everything. Dump too much at once, and even solid projects can see pressure.
Market Impact Expectations
Traders watch these events like hawks—some see buying opportunities amid temporary dips, while others fear the dilution effect. History shows not all unlocks trigger selloffs, but they absolutely test investor conviction.
Timing and Sentiment
This week’s unlock hits as broader crypto markets show renewed institutional interest—could be perfect storm or perfect opportunity. Either way, it separates the diamond hands from the paper hands.
Because nothing says 'healthy market' like scheduled supply shocks that would give traditional finance regulators absolute nightmares.
Key Unlocks
Major token activations exceeding $5 million over the next seven days are led by Optimism (OP), which will release $91.49 million worth of tokens. Fasttoken (FTN) follows closely at $89.8 million, while LayerZero (ZRO) adds $51.16 million. Velodrome Finance (VELO) and Arbitrum (ARB) will also see large cliff unlocks valued at $49.32 million and $47.8 million, respectively.
Other notable events include Sei (SEI) with $18.34 million, Space ID (ID) at $12.01 million, and Polyhedra Network (ZK) with $10.41 million. Kaito (KAITO) will activate $9.85 million, followed by ApeCoin (APE) at $9.4 million, Lista DAO (LISTA) with $8.69 million, and Melania Meme (MELANIA) adding $5.31 million.
Additionally, linear unlocks exceeding $1 million per day are expected to create steady supply pressure. Solana (SOL) leads with $121.22 million about to be released, representing about 0.09% of its circulating supply. Official Trump (TRUMP) follows with $58.82 million, while Worldcoin (WLD) will add $42.79 million. Dogecoin (DOGE) will have $26.68 million of the cryptocurrency flood the market, while Avalanche (AVAX) contributes $20.69 million.
Other daily releases include Imaginary Ones (IP) at $22.27 million, Celestia (TIA) with $14.27 million, Morpho (MORPHO) at $14.19 million, ether.fi (ETHFI) with $12.53 million, and Sui (SUI) at $11.12 million. Additional activations will come from Polkadot (DOT) with $9.99 million, Bittensor (TAO) at $8.84 million, Jito (JTO) with $8.03 million, Near Protocol (NEAR) at $8.04 million, and Ethereum Name Service (ENS) with $7.33 million.
Market Outlook
Investors are keeping a close eye on SOL, which has jumped nearly 30% in the past month. The rally supports Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan’s view that the crypto asset could be heading for a powerful end-of-year run. He believes the same setup that once drove big gains in Bitcoin and ethereum is now taking shape for Solana.
AVAX is also getting attention after breaking through the $27 resistance level. Analysts suggest the MOVE could pave the way for a 70–75% breakout, potentially pushing the token into the $40–$42 range. CoinGecko data shows the coin is trading at $29.48, up nearly 19% over the past week.
Elsewhere, Doge is showing mixed signals. The original meme coin recently touched a multi-month high of $0.30 before pulling back to $0.28, down more than 5% in the past 24 hours. Still, several analysts believe the rally is only in its early stages.
