Crypto Markets Brace for $653M Token Unlocks: SUI and GRASS Lead the Wave

The cryptocurrency market is anticipating a substantial influx of tokens between October 27 and November 3, with over $653 million in value scheduled for release. This wave of token unlocks, tracked by Tokenomist, is dominated by SUI and GRASS and includes two main categories: major one-time cliff unlocks (valued over $5 million) and linear daily unlocks (exceeding $1 million per day).

Major One-Time Cliff Unlocks

The largest single-release event by absolute dollar value is led by SUI, which will unlock 43.96 million tokens with a market value of $119.13 million, representing 1.21% of its total supply. SUI is unique in that it also features in the linear daily release schedule.

Following SUI, GRASS stands out by releasing the largest percentage of its unlocked supply—72.40%—totaling 181.00 million tokens worth $80.73 million.

Ongoing Linear Daily Unlocks

A separate group of high-profile projects will see continued, smaller daily releases:

• Solana (SOL) leads in dollar value within this category, with a daily release of 494.93 thousand tokens worth about $100.84 million, though this is a negligible 0.09% of its circulating supply.
• WLD and TRUMP also see substantial daily releases valued at $35.43 million (1.66% of circulating supply) and $30.66 million (2.45% of circulating supply), respectively.
• DOGE and AVAX are also on the schedule with daily unlocks valued at $19.87 million (0.06% of circulating supply) and $14.64 million (0.16% of circulating supply).
• Other tokens with daily linear unlocks include IP, ASTER, TAO, ETHFI, TIA, and DOT.

Current Vesting Status Highlights

Data on current vesting progress shows projects at various stages of their release schedules:

• Open Campus (EDU) and ECOx (ECOX) are in advanced stages, having completed over 62% of their vesting.
• Bitlayer is about one-third released (31.04% vesting completion).
• Puffverse (PFVS) is in its early stages, with only 5.47% vesting completion.
• Vultisig (VULT) has had 0.00% vesting progress, meaning its full supply remains locked up for the time being.

These varied unlock schedules highlight the ongoing supply expansion for numerous crypto projects, which could affect market dynamics in the coming week.
