Major cryptocurrency projects prepare for $341 million in token unlocks this week. According to the data from Tokenomist , Aptos and Starknet lead cliff unlocks while Solana dominates linear releases.

Aptos leads large token cliff unlocks this week

Aptos dominates the week’s major cliff unlock events with 11.31 million APT tokens valued at $53.38 million scheduled for release. This unlock accounts for 2.35% of the total circulating supply and makes it the largest single token release by dollar value during the period.

Starknet is the second-largest cliff unlock with 127.00 million STRK tokens worth $16.54 million. While the tokens are larger than Aptos, the lower per-token value has less total market impact than Aptos. The STRK unlock accounts for 7.29% of circulating supply.

Immutable X completes the top three cliff unlocks with 24.52 million IMX tokens worth $12.68 million and representing 1.32% of circulating supply. Other cliff unlocks are SEI with 55.56 million tokens worth $10.46 million and MOVE with 50.00 million tokens worth $7.23 million.

These cliff unlocks differ from linear releases in that they involve prearranged large-scale token distributions on specific dates rather than incremental daily releases. The condensed nature of cliff unlocks can potentially lead to heightened market volatility because large quantities of tokens are released into circulation simultaneously.

Solana leads linear unlocks

Solana commands the linear unlock category with 465.77K SOL tokens releasing daily, totaling $70.83 million in value over the week. Despite the substantial dollar amount, this release only affects 0.09% of SOL’s circulating supply.

Worldcoin follows with 37.23 million WLD tokens worth $40.95 million weekly and comprises 2.69% of circulating supply. Tao releases 50.40K tokens valued at $19.40 million and accounts for 0.59% of supply, while Dogecoin unlocks 95.89 million tokens worth $17.67 million but only 0.06% of its massive circulation.

The rest of the linear releases are TIA with 6.96 million tokens ($13.99 million), AVAX with 700.00K tokens ($14.62 million), and SUI with 3.35 million tokens ($10.81 million). There are smaller releases, for example, MORPHO with 6.96 million tokens ($9.74 million), ETHFI with 8.46 million tokens ($9.65 million), and DOT with 2.30 million tokens ($9.23 million).

Linear unlocks place repeated daily selling pressure on the market instead of bunched events. NEAR, JTO, and IP projects round out the list with $7-9 million per week releases. These ramped releases are the antithesis of big cliff events, which keep the market stable.

Additional projects face smaller but notable unlock events

Beyond the major cliff and linear unlocks, several blockchain projects experience smaller token release events that still impact their individual ecosystems. These releases typically range from $1-10 million in value but can create proportionally larger effects on projects with smaller market capitalizations.

According to CoinMarketCap data, Gaming and DeFi protocols make up a substantial portion of these secondary unlocks. Web3Games.com shows 26.84% unlock progress with 18.74 million WGT tokens scheduled for release, valued at $5.06 million. Ta-da maintains 38.51% unlock progress with 19.91 million TADA tokens worth $91,516 total.

BloodLoop shows 40.92% completion of its vesting schedule with 13.76 million BLS tokens valued at $130,719. HistoryDAO reaches 67.63% unlock progress with 16.92 million HAO tokens worth $82,938, while Stella approaches near-completion at 92.20% progress with 13 million ALPHA tokens valued at $321,240.

These smaller unlocks often receive less market attention but can create volatility within specific trading pairs and ecosystems. Projects at higher unlock completion percentages typically experience reduced future selling pressure as vesting schedules near conclusion. Read the details of last week’s token unlocks here .
