$653M in Token Unlocks Set for This Week: Which Coins Are Impacted Most?

According to data from Tokenomist, the cryptocurrency market is bracing for over $653 million worth of token unlocks between August 11 and August 18.

The upcoming events include both major single cliff unlocks (over $5 million) and large linear unlocks (daily releases worth more than $1 million). These scheduled releases could influence price volatility for multiple assets in the coming days.

Major Single Cliff Unlocks

Among the largest cliff unlocks this week:

• FTN will release 20 million tokens worth $91.8M (2.13% of supply)
• APT (Aptos) will unlock 11.31M tokens valued at $53.72M (2.25%)

• AVAX (Avalanche) will unlock 1.67M tokens worth $40.15M (0.33%)
• SEI will release 55.56M tokens valued at $18.13M (1.22%)

STRK, LAYEY, CYBER, and ZK also feature in the high-value unlock list, with LAYEY and CYBER unlocking over 10% of their circulating supply.

Large Linear Unlocks

The largest continuous unlock over the week comes from Solana (SOL), releasing 465,770 tokens worth $93.18M, representing 0.09% of its circulating supply. Other notable linear unlocks include:

TIA, SUI, MORPHO, ETHFI, and DOT are also on the list, each with over $8M worth of tokens unlocking.

Interestingly, SEI appears in both cliff and linear unlock categories, with a combined release worth over $26M in the linear segment alone.
Market Impact and Investor Outlook

Historically, large token unlocks can put downward pressure on prices if newly available supply enters the market quickly. However, market reaction often depends on investor sentiment, overall liquidity, and whether the unlocks were already priced in.

Traders are closely watching projects with double-digit percentage supply unlocks like LAYEY and CYBER, as well as high-value names such as SOL, FTN, and WLD, for potential volatility spikes. Long-term holders may also monitor these events for possible entry points if prices dip on increased supply.
