Token unlocks (releases from lockups) totaling about $400 million are scheduled over the coming week.

According to Tokenomist data cited by Wu Blockchain on the 15th (local time), projects set to see large, one-off token unlocks of at least $5 million over the next seven days include LayerZero (ZRO), Bard (BARD), River (RIVER), Arbitrum (ARB), Multibank Group (MBG), EasyMoney (YZY) and Kaito (KAITO).

A number of linear unlocks are also scheduled, with more than $1 million released per day. These include Rain (RAIN), Solana (SOL), Canton (CC), River (RIVER), Official Trump (TRUMP), Worldcoin (WLD), Dogecoin (DOGE), Aster (ASTER) and Bittensor (TAO).

Combined, the total volume of unlocks across these projects is estimated to exceed $438 million.

The market is watching closely as large unlock schedules can act as a near-term source of selling pressure. In particular, for low-liquidity tokens, an influx of unlocked supply into the market could also amplify price volatility.
