"Token Unlocks Scheduled for August Total ₩4.2 Trillion... Solana and Sui, Beware of Price Volatility"

The main token unlocks scheduled for August are expected to reach approximately ₩4.2 trillion ($3 billion). Although the unlock amount has been more than halved compared to July, there is analysis suggesting sales pressure and volatility may still be induced in the market in the short term.

According to cryptocurrency-focused media outlet BeInCrypto on the 1st, the token analytics platform Tokenomist estimated that total token unlocks for August will reach about $3 billion. This figure is a decrease of more than half compared to July's $6.3 billion, but is still significant enough to impact investor sentiment.

Solana (SOL) ranks first for unlock volume this month, standing at about $367 million (approximately ₩515.9 billion). Sui (SUI) holds the second spot, with an unlock amount reaching $216 million (about ₩303.6 billion). The media outlet pointed out, "If a large volume of tokens is concentrated in a short period and exceeds market liquidity, price volatility could escalate."

In addition, Worldcoin (WLD) and Official Trump (TRUMP) are expected to unlock a combined $377 million, with the rest belonging to small- and mid-sized projects. Tokenomist explained, "The market’s ability to absorb supply will be a key factor during this unlock cycle," and added, "Since the overall unlock volume is not excessive, if macroeconomic factors or favorable news align, there is also potential for price defense or a slight rebound."
