According to Tokenomist, one-time unlocks exceeding $10 million include HYPE, YZY, PROVE, KAITO, H, ENA, ZRO, CONX, and AVAX. Linear unlocks exceeding $10 million per month include RAIN, SOL, CC, TRUMP, DOGE,… pic.twitter.com/XpibL4rRKC
KAITO will unlock 32.60 million tokens worth $32.49 million, representing 7.63% of adjusted supply. AVAX releases 4.77 million tokens valued at $31.17 million, or 0.87% of adjusted supply. HYPE unlocks 433,000 tokens worth $22.74 million, though that accounts for only 0.11% of adjusted supply.
The list also includes H, with 266.47 million tokens worth $20.31 million (7.92%), ENA, with 212.50 million tokens worth $18.97 million (2.44%), ZRO, with 25.71 million tokens worth $18.37 million (4.40%), and CONX, with 1.32 million tokens worth $15.02 million (1.43%).
PROVE stands out. Unlocking an amount equal to more than 104% of its adjusted released supply puts it among the largest proportional cliff unlocks on the schedule.
The daily linear unlocks
Linear unlocks release tokens every day instead of all at once. Over a full month, the numbers become much larger.
RAIN leads by a wide margin with 44.12 billion tokens worth $568.96 million, equal to 6.35% of its circulating supply.
The SOL price will also be in focus as 1.99 million SOL worth $145.78 million enters circulation. Even with the large dollar value, the unlock equals only 0.34% of Solana’s circulating supply.
CC unlocks 848.98 million tokens worth $98.92 million (2.16%), followed by TRUMP, with 28.03 million tokens valued at $40.36 million, representing 11.29% of circulating supply.
The DOGE price faces an unlock of 417.03 million DOGE worth $29.45 million, though that equals only 0.27% of circulating supply.
WLD releases 89.97 million tokens worth $28.38 million (2.52%), ASTER unlocks 45.54 million tokens worth $27.49 million (1.69%), ZEC adds 48.85 thousand tokens worth $23.77 million (0.29%), MORPHO unlocks 11.65 million tokens worth $22.59 million (1.78%), TAO releases 111,600 tokens worth $21.38 million (1.16%), AVAX unlocks another $31.17 million (1.10%) through linear vesting, and PUMP releases 7 billion tokens worth $14.55 million (1.77%).
RAIN leads by value, but the SOL price, DOGE price, TAO price, and TRUMP price will likely attract the most attention because of their larger trading communities.
Why do Token Unlocks Happen?
Crypto projects lock up part of their token supply when they launch. Those tokens are usually allocated to team members, early investors, ecosystem funds, or community incentives. The lock prevents all of those tokens from entering circulation on day one.
Every project follows a vesting schedule written into its tokenomics. Some unlock tokens monthly through cliff releases, while others distribute them gradually through daily linear vesting. The schedule is public, making it easier for traders to prepare for upcoming supply increases.

How do token unlocks affect crypto prices?
More tokens entering circulation can increase selling pressure, but the impact depends on three things.
The first is the size of the unlock. PROVE’s unlock equals 104.17% of adjusted released supply, making it far more noticeable than the SOL price unlock, which equals only 0.34% of circulating supply.
The second is who receives the tokens. If they go to early investors or private backers, some may decide to take profits. If they go to ecosystem funds or staking programs, the selling pressure may be lower.
The third is market conditions. Strong buying demand can absorb new supply, but weaker market sentiment often makes larger unlocks harder to digest.
For this month’s schedule, PROVE, YZY, TRUMP, and RAIN are the projects worth watching most closely because of the size of their unlocks relative to supply. SOL and DOGE are also on the list, though their unlock percentages remain small compared with the amount already in circulation.
Over $1.282 billion worth of tokens is set to enter the market between August 3 and September 3. As those dates arrive, traders will be watching the SOL price, DOGE price, TAO price, TRUMP price, AVAX price, and ENA price for any increase in volatility around their scheduled unlocks.
