SUI, DOT, SOL Among $411 Million Token Unlocks This Week
The coming week could see a wave of selling pressure across the crypto market, as more than $411 million worth of tokens are scheduled to be unlocked between August 19 and August 25, according to Tokenomist data shared by WuBlockchain.
The largest cliff unlocks include ZRO ($52.4M), KAITO ($25.05M), and SOON ($11.49M). These events release a big share of supply into circulation at once – with SOON’s unlock representing nearly 18% of its supply. For smaller projects, such sudden supply shocks can weigh heavily on price if demand doesn’t keep pace.
Daily Linear Unlocks Across Major Tokens
More notable for the broader market are the daily linear unlocks, with some of the biggest names on the list. Solana (SOL) will see around $92.6M worth of tokens unlocked over the week, while Avalanche (AVAX), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Worldcoin (WLD) each have sizeable daily releases. Sui (SUI) also joins the group, with around $10.9M scheduled to unlock.
Other tokens in line for daily unlocks include DOT, TIA, TAO, ENS, NEAR, MORPHO, ETHFI, JTO, and IP. Even though many of these represent under 1% of circulating supply, the constant drip can create background pressure, especially in low-liquidity environments.
According to Tokenomist, major one-time token unlocks (over $5 million) in the next 7 days include ZRO, KAITO, and SOON. Major linear daily unlocks (over $1 million per day) are expected for SOL, WLD, TIA, DOGE, TAO, AVAX, SUI, DOT, IP, MORPHO, ETHFI, JTO, ENS, and others. The… pic.twitter.com/bfXgrcOwnE

Could This Impact Prices?
Historically, unlocks tend to spark volatility. Investors often fear that early backers or teams could offload tokens once they become liquid, but the real effect varies. For large-cap tokens like SOL, DOT, or DOGE, the scheduled amounts represent a relatively small slice of supply – meaning the impact may be muted unless market sentiment is already fragile.
For smaller-cap tokens, however, even a few million dollars in unlocked tokens can move the market sharply. With total unlocks crossing $400M this week, traders will be watching closely to see whether supply absorption is smooth or if fresh selling drags prices lower.
It’s still uncertain how much pressure these unlocks will create, but the timing couldn’t be more critical. With the market dipping today, this wave of new supply may decide whether we see short-term dips or a healthy absorption before the next rally.
