$TAO, $SUI, $DOT Among $620M in Token Unlocks This Week

The next seven days are going to be big for token unlocks. In fact, this one’s actually way bigger than the one we had in the previous week.

Data from Tokenomist shows more than $620 million worth of tokens are scheduled to hit the market, with both cliff unlocks and daily linear unlocks lined up. For traders, this means fresh supply is coming – and depending on demand, it could add short-term selling pressure.

The cliff unlock list is led by SUI, with $159M set to be released (1.25% of supply). JUP follows with nearly $27M, and OP has a $23.9M unlock. Interestingly, KMNO and HUMA will see massive token releases in terms of amount, though their dollar values are smaller compared to SUI.

One of the largest by percentage is HUMA, which is unlocking 23.38% of its supply – that’s a huge portion entering circulation at once. Similarly, SOPH (12.94%) and REZ (11.36%) stand out as projects with double-digit supply unlocks, meaning traders should expect higher volatility in these names.

Linear Unlocks to Watch

On the linear unlock side, the list is just as interesting. SOL leads with $102.8M worth of tokens set to be released, but that’s only 0.09% of circulating supply, so the market impact may be softer. TRUMP, WLD, TAO, and DOGE are also on the list, each unlocking tens of millions.

Ethereum-related projects like ETHFI will see $10.5M unlocked, while DOT and NEAR also make appearances, though at lower amounts. MORPHO and ENS add to the group, contributing to a diverse mix of DeFi, meme, infrastructure, and L1 tokens facing new supply.

Why This Matters for Traders

Unlocks are always tricky. They don’t automatically mean a price crash, but they often create short-term volatility as early investors, insiders, or teams gain access to tokens they couldn’t previously sell. The size of the unlock compared to circulating supply is what matters most.

For example, SUI’s unlock is huge in dollar terms but still just 1.25% of supply – manageable if demand stays strong. Meanwhile, HUMA unlocking nearly a quarter of its supply is a completely different story, and could weigh heavily on price unless new buyers step in.

The Bottom Line

With over $620M worth of tokens unlocking this week, the market will be watching closely to see how projects like SUI, TAO, DOT, SOL, and DOGE absorb the new supply. For traders, it’s less about the headline number and more about which tokens face large percentage increases in circulation.

In short, expect some turbulence, and keep an eye on tokens with double-digit supply unlocks – they’re the ones most at risk of sharp moves.
