Massive Token Unlocks Ahead: SUI, SOL, DOGE and More on the List

The crypto market is preparing for a wave of major token unlocks between October 27 – November 3, with over $653M worth of tokens set to enter circulation. Data compiled by WuBlockchain via Tokenomist highlights upcoming cliff unlocks for leading projects including SUI, SOL, DOGE, WLD, GRASS, and EIGEN, among others — an event that could add volatility to the market in the short term.

SUI Tops the Unlock Chart

SUI remains one of the largest contributors to this week’s token unlocks. Around 43.96 million SUI coins, valued at approximately $119.13 million, are set to unlock — representing 1.21% of the coin’s total supply. This will be followed by another smaller unlock of 2.71M SUI coins worth $7.35 million later in the same period.

Despite recent growth in its ecosystem, such a large influx could place selling pressure on the token’s price. Historically, large unlocks tend to cause temporary dips as early investors and contributors gain liquidity on previously locked holdings.

SOL, WLD, and DOGE Join the Line-Up

• Solana shows a linear release pattern this week — about 494.93K SOL in daily tranches that add up to roughly $100.84M in value. Even if that is a small slice of SOL’s total supply, the dollar amount is meaningful for price action.

• Worldcoin (WLD) with 37.23 M WLD coins valued at $35.43 million (1.66% of supply) becoming liquid. The liquidity release could influence WLD’s already volatile price action, given its ongoing debates around data privacy and AI identity verification.

• Dogecoin will see releases around 95.91M DOGE valued near $19.87M. DOGE has constant issuance, but concentrated emissions still affect market sentiment.

Large Volume Unlocks from GRASS, EIGEN, and ZORA

GRASS plans 181M tokens and EIGEN 36.82M. GRASS’s release represents a very large share of its circulating supply that is 72% and could trigger big moves.

Lastly, ZORA is a decentralized creator economy platform that will be unlocking 166.67 million tokens with an approximate project market cap of around $16.3 million as it is roughly 4.55% of total supply and could affect some market liquidity for the token.

Other smaller but notable releases include AVAX, ASTER, TAO, ETHFI, TIA, and DOT, with values ranging from $7 million to $15 million.

Short-term market effects

Expect higher volatility, wider bid-ask spreads, and larger daily moves for affected tokens. Traders may see: immediate dips as holders sell, increased futures and options flows, and opportunistic buys after sharp falls. For low-liquidity tokens, even moderate sales can cause steep drops. 

A token unlock means tokens that were locked by teams, investors or foundations become tradable. When many tokens are released at once (a “cliff”), sellers can flood the market. Both can push prices down or make swings wider. Tokenomics — the size of the unlock relative to circulating supply — is the key to how large the price impact will be. 

What Investors Should Watch

• Check exact unlock dates and sizes for tokens you hold. Use trusted vesting dashboards like Tokenomist for details.

• If you are long-term, consider fundamentals: does the project have real adoption or strong development? Large unlocks can create temporary dips that are buying chances for sound projects.

• If you trade short-term, size positions and set stop losses. Volatility can amplify both gains and losses.
