Between March 31 and April 7, 2025, the crypto market will see the release of more than $642 million worth of tokens across multiple projects. This sudden influx could apply downward pressure on token prices, especially for assets with large one-time unlocks.

šŸ”“ SUI Leads the Cliff Unlocks

The token SUI is at the forefront of this weekā€™s cliff unlocksā€”large, one-time token releases. Itā€™s set to unlock:

  • 64.19 million SUI tokens worth $148.93 million, which accounts for 2.14% of its total supply.


Another major release comes from W, unlocking 1.39 billion tokens valued at $118.12 million, representing a massive 46.27% of its circulating supply.

šŸ† Top 5 Cliff Unlocks (by value):

  • SUI ā€“ $148.93M (2.14% of supply)

  • W ā€“ $118.12M (46.27%)

  • ENA ā€“ $78.81M (4.02%)

  • OP ā€“ $23.40M (2.11%)

  • BIGTIME ā€“ $16.36M (26.96%)


Other notable cliff unlocks include ZETA, KAS, NEON, and DYDX, all contributing millions to this week's total. The largest relative impacts are expected from W and BIGTIME, given the high percentages of newly unlocked supply.

šŸ“ˆ Solana Dominates the Linear Unlocks

In the linear unlock categoryā€”where tokens are released graduallyā€”Solana (SOL) is at the top. This week:

  • SOL will release 465,770 tokens worth $58.8 million, but thatā€™s only 0.09% of its circulating supply.


Following behind:

  • Worldcoin (WLD) ā€“ 37.23M tokens, $29.22M (3.06%)

  • TIA ā€“ 6.96M tokens, $22.69M (1.20%)

  • Optimism (OM) ā€“ 2.65M tokens, $16.46M (0.27%)

  • Dogecoin (DOGE) ā€“ 96.52M tokens, $15.84M

Other unlocks include AVAX, TAO, DOT, NEAR, FIL, JTO, and SUIā€”with SUI notably appearing in both cliff and linear unlocks, pushing its total unlocks this week past $157 million.

āš–ļø Cliff vs. Linear Unlocks: Whatā€™s the Impact?

Cliff unlocks often exert greater price pressure than linear unlocks because the tokens hit the market all at once, whereas linear unlocks spread the release over time, softening the impact.

šŸ§Ŗ Smaller Projects Also Unlocking Tokens

Aside from major names, several smaller crypto projects are also releasing significant portions of their supply this week:

  • GUNZ ā€“ 604.5M GUN tokens, though not yet trading publicly.

  • Shockwaves (NEUROS) ā€“ 1.89M tokens worth ~$12,084 (1.89% of locked supply)

  • Hooked Protocol (HOOK) ā€“ 8.33M tokens, ~$1.05M

  • AC Milan Fan Token (ACM) ā€“ 205,263 tokens, ~$190,467

  • MAXX AI (MXM) ā€“ 19.71M tokens, ~$32,019

These smaller unlocks can cause outsized volatility on less liquid markets.
