Week's token unlocks
Crypto markets face about $221.15 million in token unlocks over the next seven days, with RAIN, SOL, CONX and ARB leading the list. The unlock schedule was published as a weekly supply tally on April 13. (cryptonewsz.com)
More than $221 million worth of crypto tokens are scheduled to unlock between April 13 and April 20, adding fresh supply across several major projects. (cryptonewsz.com) Token unlocks are preplanned releases of coins that were previously locked for teams, investors, treasuries, or incentive programs. Data provider Tokenomist’s weekly tally for April 13 split this week’s flow between one-time “cliff” releases and steady “linear” vesting. (tokenomist.ai ) (cryptonewsz.com) The largest linear release on the schedule is RAIN at about $75.67 million, equal to 9.50 billion tokens and roughly 1.99% of circulating supply. Solana follows with about $38.22 million, or 467,970 Solana tokens, equal to about 0.08% of circulating supply. (cryptorank.io) (bitmart.com) Among cliff unlocks, Connex leads with about $15.95 million, covering 1.32 million tokens and 1.52% of adjusted released supply. Arbitrum is next with a scheduled April 16 release of 96 million Arbitrum tokens worth about $10.65 million, or 1.81% of adjusted released supply. (cryptorank.io) (tokenomist.ai) BeInCrypto’s list for the third week of April also flagged deBridge alongside Connex and Arbitrum as major unlocks to watch, placing the week’s supply increase in a broader group than the top four names alone. The reporting said the releases could affect short-term trading as newly unlocked holders gain the ability to sell, stake, or transfer tokens. (beincrypto.com) The market watches these calendars because unlocks change tradable supply even when a project’s total token count stays the same. A large unlock relative to circulating supply can weigh on price if recipients sell quickly, while smaller or well-telegraphed releases often pass with less disruption. (tokenomist.ai) (cryptouniversity.network) Arbitrum’s schedule shows how these releases can stretch over years rather than arrive all at once. Tokenomist says about 60.41% of Arbitrum’s total supply had already been unlocked as of mid-April, with the remaining vesting extending into 2027. (tokenomist.ai) Solana’s unlock profile is different because its supply changes also reflect network inflation and staking emissions, not just venture-style vesting cliffs. Messari and Solana-focused trackers list ongoing unlock and emission schedules rather than a single one-off event. (messari.io) (solanacompass.com) This week’s schedule does not guarantee a sell-off, but it does set the dates when locked tokens can start moving. For traders, the calendar from April 13 to April 20 is less about surprise supply and more about whether the market has already priced it in. (cryptonewsz.com) (tokenomist.ai)
