Token Unlocks to Watch in the Next 12 Hours

After a volatile start to the week, attention is shifting from price action to imminent supply events. Several notable tokens are scheduled for unlocks within the next 12 hours, introducing fresh circulating supply that could influence short-term market behavior, particularly in thin or fragile order books.

Below is a breakdown of the most relevant unlocks, based strictly on the data shown.

Aptos Leads With the Largest Imminent Unlock

Aptos (APT) stands out as the most significant unlock event in the near term.
Around 11 million APT are set to unlock, representing roughly 1.47% of circulating supply, with an estimated value of $11.27 million.

Despite a high released percentage already above 64%, this unlock arrives after a sharp 21.1% weekly decline, making the timing particularly sensitive. Large unlocks during downtrends often draw close scrutiny, as even modest sell pressure can amplify volatility.

Avalanche Faces Moderate Supply Increase

Avalanche (AVAX) is scheduled for an unlock of approximately 1.7 million tokens, worth about $14.65 million, accounting for 0.39% of supply.

With over 93% of AVAX already released, the relative impact is smaller compared to earlier cycles. Still, the token has declined 12.5% over the past week, meaning market conditions remain delicate as new supply enters circulation.

Smaller-Cap Tokens See Higher Relative Impact

Several lower-capitalization assets are also unlocking within the same window, where relative supply changes matter more than absolute size.

• Puffer (PUFFER):
  ~19 million tokens, representing 5.18% of supply, valued near $606K.
• Delysium (AGI):
  ~69 million tokens, about 2.98% of supply, worth roughly $805K.
• Fusionist (ACE):
  ~1.8 million tokens, equating to 2.01% of supply, valued near $306K.

In thinner markets, unlocks of this size can meaningfully affect short-term price discovery, especially if holders choose to realize liquidity quickly.

NAVI Protocol Unlock Appearses Minor in Size

NAVI Protocol (NAVX) shows a comparatively small unlock of 2.9 million tokens, just 0.36% of supply, with a value of around $25.6K.
While unlikely to drive broader market impact, it still contributes to aggregate supply expansion within the same time window.

Why the Next 12 Hours Matter

Token unlocks do not guarantee selling pressure, but they change the market’s supply dynamics instantly. When multiple unlocks cluster within a short timeframe, especially during broader weakness, they often heighten short-term volatility and sensitivity to order flow.

For traders and observers alike, the next 12 hours represent a structural moment, where supply mechanics, not headlines, may quietly guide price behavior.
