$3 Billion Crypto Token Unlocks: Market Tsunami or Bullish Fuel?
Crypto's sleeping giants are waking up—and they're hungry. A $3 billion tidal wave of token unlocks looms over the markets, testing whether decentralized finance can stomach its own supply mechanics.
Will liquidity pools drown or surf the wave?
Token unlocks—the scheduled release of previously vested coins—often trigger sell pressure as early investors cash out. But this time? The sheer scale could rewrite the playbook. We're talking protocol treasuries refilling, staking yields ballooning, and—let's be honest—a few VC bagholders finally exiting.
Pro tip: Watch where the smart money flows post-unlock. Retail panic creates the juiciest arbitrage opportunities.
Closing thought: In crypto, 'unlock' is just another word for 'opportunity'—assuming you're not the one holding the bag. (Wall Street bankers would charge a 2% management fee for this level of volatility.)
- Crypto market anticipates $3.08B in token unlocks this July, with large-cap tokens heavily impacted.
- $TRUMP leads July unlocks with $629.8 million, but faces resistance at $8.70 and struggles to maintain gains.
- Solana, SUI, and Worldcoin unlock $642M, but liquidity concerns could cause market volatility in July.
The crypto market is now anticipating a massive influx of tokens in July. The crypto vesting tracker Tokenomist estimates that around $3.08 billion worth of already locked funds will be unlocked. This release is a little lower than June, but it has major implications. The release of such tokens may disrupt the supply and demand in the market. The event will largely influence large-cap tokens, four of which will make up more than 59% of the amount.
🔥🔥 July unlocks are projected to reach $3.08B, slightly lower than June’s $3.5B.
Emissions is notably concentrated, with just four tokens accounting for over 59% of the total value.

The largest event this month will involve the TRUMP token. It will release into circulation the value of the assets to the tune $629.8 million, constituting more than 20% of the total value. Trump has been under bearish pressure despite the expectations.
At the time of writing, it is currently in the market at $8.62. It increased slightly to $8.70 and then it dropped back to approximately $8.60. Technical indicators show resistance at $8.70 and $8.66. Support has been pegged at around $8.55. The token struggles to overcome counter-trends.

Solana Volatility and Resistance
Solana (SOL) will also experience significant unlocks, SUI, and Worldcoin (WLD). These three tokens collectively comprise released assets valued at $642 million. Solana is currently selling at $149, which has experienced volatility in its prices in recent trades. The resistance line can be seen at $151, whereas support is at $145. If SOL remains above $145, it may be tested at $151. A break of less than $145 would, however, depreciate to $142.

SUI, selling at $2.75, is also struggling with resistance. There has been a price improvement, but that is not supported by high volume. The coin is showing a positive trend, but it requires more trading volume to maintain its course. In its absence, any additional price hike might fail to sustain itself.

Crypto Unlocks Spark Liquidity Concerns
Worldcoin (WLD) is another cryptocurrency that has been experiencing movement. It has had a trend of peaking at $0.840 support to $0.900 resistance levels. Nonetheless, volume has been on the decline. This signals that the momentum is low. Any further rise may be achieved as long as WLD trades above $0.860. However, when it drops lower than this level, the gains achieved may be lost.

The unlocked value of the mid and low-cap tokens will contribute an additional amount of $1.82 billion. The ultimate question is the ability of the market to take this supply without major volatility. Market participants will be taking a close look at the unfolding of the situation as these tokens unlock in July.
