These unlocks will affect a mix of new and established projects, sparking interest—and caution—among investors watching for market shifts.
Token unlocks can sometimes cause price swings, as previously restricted tokens enter circulation and change the balance of supply and demand.
Major Unlocks Ahead
The largest single unlocks this week, each worth more than $5 million, will include tokens such as ATH, APT, LINEA, BABY, BB, HOME, IO, and MOVE. These events typically mark the release of tokens that were set aside for early investors, team members, or ecosystem incentives. When these tokens are unlocked, holders gain the ability to sell or trade them on the open market.
In addition to these large single events, several major projects will experience steady, linear unlocks exceeding $1 million per day. Among them are well-known names like Solana (SOL), Worldcoin (WLD), Avalanche (AVAX), and Dogecoin (DOGE). Others include TRUMP, IP, Astar (ASTER), Celestia (TIA), Sui (SUI), EtherFi (ETHFI), Polkadot (DOT), Bittensor (TAO), and NEAR. This steady stream of unlocks can influence daily trading activity and liquidity across exchanges.
According to Tokenomist, in the next 7 days, major single unlocks (over $5 million each) will include ATH, APT, LINEA, BABY, BB, HOME, IO, and MOVE.

To put things in perspective, when Avalanche released $102 million in tokens in August 2024, the asset saw increased volatility as investors reassessed its short-term value. Similar patterns are likely as large unlocks unfold this week. Still, many long-term investors view unlocks as healthy signs of ecosystem growth, signaling that projects are moving toward maturity and broader market participation.
What Investors Should Watch
Token unlocks are routine in crypto, but their timing and size can play an important role in market psychology. A large supply increase may put short-term pressure on prices, especially if demand remains flat. However, unlocks can also build confidence when projects communicate clearly about how new tokens will support development, community rewards, or partnerships.
