As token unlocks of over $513 million are set to enter the market, the current week is shaping up to be a significant one. These unlocks may trigger significant price swings as many tokens enter the market within days.
Token unlocks involve releasing previously locked tokens for early investors, teams, or project treasuries.
One-Time Token Unlocks (Cliff Unlocks)
Some of the most significant moves this week might come from cliff unlocks, which are one-time, significant releases of tokens. First in line is Aptos (APT), which has 11.31 million tokens valued at $48.2 million but unlocks roughly 2.2% of the entire supply. There is another huge one, S, and approximately $45.6 million worth of tokens unlocked.

According to Tokenomist, major one-time token unlocks (over $5 million) in the next 7 days include APT, S, CONX, STRK, BANANA, IO, BB, MOVE, and PEAQ.
