Over $4.58 billion worth of cryptocurrency tokens are scheduled to enter circulation this week, spanning cliff unlocks and steady daily releases across some of the industry’s most prominent names.
The headline event is a cliff unlock in WhiteBIT Coin, where 81.50 million WBT tokens worth roughly $4.34 billion will hit the market in a single release, equal to more than a quarter of its adjusted circulating supply. Events of this size tend to attract close attention from traders, since early investors and project teams receiving unlocked tokens may choose to sell, adding pressure to prices in an already cautious market environment.
Two smaller cliff events accompany it. CONX will release 1.32 million tokens worth $15 million, while Aptos unlocks 12.45 million APT tokens valued at $11.62 million.
Separate from the cliff events, a wide range of tokens face continuous daily releases throughout the week. RAIN leads this group with tokens worth $84 million gradually entering circulation, representing a 2.34% increase to its adjusted supply. RIVER, with $18.06 million in tokens unlocking, records one of the largest releases at 2.81% of its supply.
Official Trump (TRUMP), the politically themed token, adds $18.80 million worth of supply through linear releases this week, while Worldcoin (WLD) contributes $13.47 million. Solana, despite its size and market standing, sees a comparatively modest $38.87 million unlock, just 0.07% of its circulating base. DOGE, CC, and ASTER round out the schedule with smaller but still notable daily releases.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});Token unlocks expand available supply on a fixed timeline, and when recipients choose to sell, prices can come under pressure. Cliff unlocks tend to have sharper and more immediate effects, while linear releases are spread over time and often absorbed more quietly by the market. With sentiment already under strain this week, traders will be keeping a close eye on how these releases are handled, particularly the outsized WBT event.
Crypto markets edged higher on Monday, with the total market capitalization ticking up to $2.29 trillion as prices across major assets posted modest but meaningful gains. Bitcoin climbed to $67,267, up 0.44% over 24 hours and recovering ground lost earlier in the week. Ethereum crossed back toward $1,980, adding 1.70% on the day, while Solana rose 1.11% to $83.28. XRP held steady at $1.35, extending its seven-day gain to 1.64%.
