Token Unlocks Incoming: Which Altcoins Face New Supply Pressure

- Advertisement -

A new wave of token unlocks is approaching, with several small- and mid-cap crypto projects set to release additional supply into circulation.

The latest data highlights which tokens are closest to their next unlock events and how much supply could hit the market in the coming days.

Token Unlocks in Focus

The current unlock schedule shows a mix of early-stage and more established projects with varying release sizes and circulating supply ratios. Some tokens have already released less than half of their total supply, increasing sensitivity to unlock-related volatility.

• Decubate (DCB) is trading near $0.0029, with roughly 38.7% of its supply released. Its next unlock involves 8.2 million DCB, representing a modest addition relative to market cap.
• peaq (PEAQ), valued around $0.0336, has just under 39% of supply released, with an upcoming unlock of 85 million PEAQ, one of the larger scheduled releases in the dataset.
• Puffer (PUFFER) shows 34.7% released supply, with 19 million PUFFER expected in the next unlock window.
• Fusionist (ACE) stands out with nearly 59.5% of supply already released, while its next unlock of 1.8 million ACE is comparatively smaller.

• Ethereum Staking Queue Swells as Supply Tightens Near Key Price Levels

Projects With High Released Supply Ratios

Several tokens already have a large portion of their supply in circulation, which may reduce the relative impact of upcoming unlocks but still adds incremental selling pressure:

• UXLINK has over 71.5% of its supply released, with 38 million UXLINK scheduled for the next unlock.
• Hatom (HTM) shows a similar profile, with roughly 69% of supply released and a smaller 330,000 HTM unlock ahead.
• BlueMove (MOVE) leads this group, with about 72.5% of supply already released and 6.1 million MOVE set to unlock.

Why Token Unlocks Matter

Token unlocks increase circulating supply, which can influence short-term price action, especially for lower-liquidity assets. Larger unlocks relative to market cap often raise the risk of volatility, while smaller, gradual releases tend to be absorbed more smoothly by the market.

With multiple unlocks clustered in a short time frame, traders and investors are closely watching how prices react as new supply becomes available. Monitoring released supply percentages and unlock sizes remains key to managing risk around these events.
