What happens when fresh token supply worth more than $330 million hits the market in one week? That is the setup behind major token unlocks this week, based on Tokenomist tracking shared by WuBlockchain. The schedule covers April 20 to April 27 and mixes one-time cliff releases with daily linear emissions. Tokenomist also says its unlock data is informational, so timing and amounts should be treated as market-source estimates, not exact guarantees.

Cliff releases usually draw the first reaction. Tokenomist defines a cliff unlock as a discrete release that lands less often than daily emissions. It says these dates can concentrate sell-side pressure into a single event. Linear releases work differently because tokens drip out over time, which can reduce sudden shocks.
In the chart shared by WuBlockchain, UDS carries the biggest cliff unlock by value at $42.17 million. ZRO follows at $41.39 million. The sharpest dilution signal comes from HYPER, where the scheduled release equals 97.05% of adjusted released supply. LMTS follows at 65.04%, while INIT stands at 45.57%, making all three names obvious watchpoints for traders.
UDS: largest cliff value in the chart
HYPER: biggest supply-share release
LMTS: another outsized supply event
The cliff side looks more fragile than the linear side. A one-day release can test liquidity fast, especially in tokens that do not trade with deep order books. That does not guarantee a sell-off, though. It only raises the risk that supply arrives faster than demand.
The linear group looks steadier on paper. RAIN leads that bucket, followed by SOL, CC, TRUMP, and WLD in the chart. That matters because daily releases can still build a steady overhang, even without a single shock date. For Solana, Tokenomist notes that past unlock windows have shown high volatility over the following seven days, though the outcome depends on recipients and market conditions.
The clearest names to watch are HYPER, LMTS, RAIN, and SOL. HYPER and LMTS stand out for dilution size. RAIN leads the linear schedule by value. SOL draws extra attention because it is the most widely tracked large-cap token in the list. These are the names most likely to trend across trading desks and crypto news feeds this week.

No exact outcome comes with these releases. Still, major tokens unlocks should keep supply pressure in focus, especially for smaller tokens with high release ratios. In a market that still rewards liquidity and real demand, the biggest story is not the unlock alone. It is whether buyers show up fast enough to absorb it.
