Token unlocks aren’t just technical events—they can shake the market. When large numbers of tokens enter circulation, the supply rises, and prices often react. In June, cliff and linear unlocks will play major roles. Cliff unlocks drop tokens all at once, like a floodgate opening. Linear unlocks trickle them out gradually, more like a dripping faucet. According to Tokenomist, a crypto vesting tracker, $1.4 billion will come through cliff unlocks. Meanwhile, linear unlocks will add another $1.9 billion. Compared to May’s $4.9 billion flood, June's release feels lighter—down 32%. But don’t get too comfortable.
Even a smaller wave can leave a splash. Metars Genesi leads the charge with a $193 million unlock set for June 21. This NFT project plans to fund an artificial intelligence collaboration. Since March, MRS has consistently released 10 million tokens monthly, already unlocking nearly $1 billion. June’s batch alone could send ripples across NFT markets. SUI, backed by Mysten Labs, will unlock 44 million tokens worth $160 million on June 1. Most of these tokens head to early contributors, a community fund, and the treasury.
Who Else Is Unlocking?
Fasttoken joins the action with a $88 million unlock, sending 20 million tokens to its founders. LayerZero will release 25 million tokens, totaling $71 million, for core contributors and partners. Aptos — APT, isn’t sitting this one out. It plans to unlock 11.31 million tokens worth $61 million. These tokens support community, contributors, investors, and the project foundation.
ZKsync is on the list, too. It’s set to release over 760 million tokens, valued at $49 million. The tokens will reward early investors and project team members. Other notable unlocks include ZRO: $64.29 million, ZK: $46.58 million, SAROS: $43.75 million, VANA: $37.02 million, ARB: $36.91 million, ENA: $35.23 million, ZKJ: $31.22 million, and OP: $23.63 million. Token unlocks can jolt markets and test holders' patience.
A large release may invite profit-taking. On the flip side, a strong community can absorb the supply, softening the blow. Traders should watch these dates closely. Even long-term holders can benefit from knowing when the next flood is coming. Stay alert. These unlocks aren't random—they tell a story about trust, timing, and tokenomics.
