$4 Billion in Token Unlocks Coming: WBT, HYPE, JUP Lead the Wave

A fresh wave of token unlocks is approaching, with several major projects set to release significant supply into the market over the coming days and weeks.

Based on upcoming emission data, billions in token value are scheduled to enter circulation, a factor traders are closely watching.

Biggest Upcoming Unlocks

Here are some of the most notable releases:

• WBT – $3.92B unlock (27.77% of supply) in 16 days
• HYPE – $268.05M unlock (2.72%) in 9 days
• ZRO – $38.82M unlock (5.64%) in 23 days
• SUI – $37.55M unlock (1.13%) in 4 days
• JUP – $36.71M unlock (7.94%) in 3 days
• ENA – $16.96M unlock (2.24%) in 8 days
• AVAX – $13.97M unlock (0.31%) in 76 days

The size and percentage of supply being released vary significantly across projects.

Why Token Unlocks Matter

Token unlocks increase circulating supply. If demand does not rise proportionally, additional supply can create short-term price pressure.

However, the impact depends on several factors:

• Whether tokens go to insiders, team members, or ecosystem incentives
• Vesting structures and lockup conditions
• Market liquidity and current sentiment
• Whether unlocks are already priced in

Large percentage unlocks relative to circulating supply tend to attract the most volatility.

Key Risk Zones

Projects with higher unlock percentages, such as WBT (27.77%) and JUP (7.94%), may face closer scrutiny from traders.

Smaller unlock percentages, like AVAX (0.31%), are less likely to trigger major structural shifts on their own.

What Traders Are Watching

The next 7–30 days could see heightened volatility across several mid- and large-cap tokens as new supply enters the market.

Historically, unlock events often lead to:

• Short-term weakness ahead of the release
• Increased derivatives positioning
• Sharp moves if selling pressure fails to materialize

With billions scheduled to unlock, market participants will be monitoring absorption levels closely.

Supply is about to expand, the question is whether demand is ready to meet it.
