Token Unlock Events Set to Impact Market Dynamics: Over $1.34 Billion to Be Released

Over $1.34B in token unlocks expected, influencing liquidity and market dynamics

Cliff unlocks highlight major events with CHEEL, APT, and CONX leading in volume and impact

Linear unlocks like WLD and SOL add gradual liquidity, affecting trading and price stability

The crypto market is bracing for a notable influx of liquidity, as over $1.347 billion worth of tokens are scheduled for unlocking between December 9 and December 16. This period will see two token unlocks, cliff unlocks, which involve single large releases, and linear unlocks, where tokens are gradually distributed

These events are expected to have varying impacts on the market, depending on the volume and percentage of tokens relative to their circulating supply. Notable tokens such as CHEEL, APT, CONX, and WLD headline the list, potentially influencing market trends and liquidity conditions.

Cliff unlocks are set to introduce substantial token volumes into circulation. Among these, CHEEL stands out with a release of 20.81 million tokens valued at $200.64 million. This event represents 36.63 percent of the token’s current circulating supply, making it a major liquidity injection for the market

APT is another significant entry, with 11.31 million tokens worth $159.13 million scheduled for release. This unlocks accounts for 2.11 percent of its circulating supply. CONX, however, shows the most substantial proportional impact, unlocking 4.33 million tokens valued at $143.02 million, a staggering 376.30 percent of its existing circulating supply

Other tokens such as SEI and ZKJ also feature prominently, with significant unlock percentages that could influence their market performance over the week.

Linear unlocks, which release tokens in a phased manner, are also set to impact the market. WLD leads this category with the release of 37.23 million tokens worth $136.25 million, representing 5.04 percent of its circulating supply

SOL, with one of the largest token counts, will see 524.03 million tokens valued at $121.36 million unlocked. Despite the high volume, this represents just 0.11 percent of SOL’s circulating supply, suggesting a less pronounced immediate effect.

Other notable entries include TIA, DOGE, and AVAX, with respective unlock values of $56.95 million, $44.01 million, and $36.59 million. TIA’s release, representing 1.57 percent of its circulating supply, could lead to noticeable liquidity shifts.

Tokens with high unlock percentages, such as CONX and TIA, will likely experience heightened market activity and potential price volatility during the unlock period. These events are critical for market participants, influencing trading behavior and liquidity levels.
