August Brings Fewer Token Unlocks, But Key Projects Still in Focus
But even with the decline, several unlocks from major projects could stir market volatility.
Sui leads the pack, releasing $167 million in tokens at the start of the month. With less than 35% of its supply currently in circulation, the event could trigger selling pressure due to the token’s inflated valuation. Fasttoken is next with a $91 million unlock, though its near-complete supply already on the market may soften its impact.
Aptos, Avalanche, and Arbitrum will follow mid-month with unlocks ranging from $39 million to $51 million. Meanwhile, smaller-cap tokens like Starknet and Kaito could see amplified moves due to low liquidity and circulating supply.
Despite the overall emission drop, analysts say this isn’t necessarily a sign of cooling momentum. Polymath CEO Vincent Kadar notes that unlocks now reflect shifting strategies rather than simple token release schedules. He adds that investors are focusing less on short-term dilution fears and more on the long-term economics behind these projects.
Unlock anxiety, once a key theme in token markets, has given way to deeper analysis of governance, use case, and sustainability — a sign that the industry’s understanding of vesting dynamics is maturing alongside the broader market.
