$774M in Token Unlocks Poised to Test Market Liquidity

Over $774M in token unlocks from projects like CONX, APT, and SOL could inject volatility into crypto markets this week.Cliff unlocks from CONX, FTN, and APT may drive sudden price shifts while CYBER and ETHFI face high relative supply dilution.Linear unlocks from SOL, WLD, and DOGE add sustained sell pressure just as several altcoins approach critical support zones.Over $774 million worth of cryptocurrency tokens are set to unlock between May 12 and 18, 2025 as per Wu Blockchain. This wave includes both cliff and linear unlocks. Analysts expect the events to test market liquidity, especially among lower-cap assets. The unlocks span major projects including CONX, FTN, APT, ARB, AVAX, STRK, IMX, SEI, and others. Cliff unlocks from CONX, FTN, and APT alone contribute over $248 million to the total. Additionally, daily linear unlocks from SOL, WLD, ETHFI, and TAO are expected to create sustained sell pressure. Consequently, the next few days may offer high volatility across select altcoins.Major Cliff Unlocks Signal Immediate ImpactCliff unlocks involve large token batches released at once, often tied to early-stage investor or team vesting. CONX leads the pack, unlocking $94.6 million worth from 4.33 million tokens. FTN follows with a $87.2 million unlock from 20 million tokens. APT ranks third, releasing $66.84 million in tokens. Notably, STRK unlocks 127 million tokens — the highest quantity — though with lower dollar impact. Additionally, XCN will release 296.38 million tokens, yet they account for only $5.32 million in value.However, CYBER presents the highest relative impact, with 10.64% of its total supply entering circulation. Such a high ratio could trigger downward pressure, especially if market demand fails to absorb it. Moreover, these cliff unlocks align with bullish sentiment in broader markets, which could either cushion or amplify volatility.Linear Unlocks Extend Selling PressureBesides one-time releases, linear unlocks continue daily over time. SOL tops this list with a $81.84 million unlock, from just 465,770 tokens. WLD follows with $48.02 million released across 37.23 million tokens. TAO unlocks only 50,400 tokens, yet they carry $23.83 million in value. DOGE adds 96.52 million tokens worth $22.75 million to the mix.ETHFI sees the highest relative dilution here, with 3.53% of its circulating supply unlocking. Consequently, sustained selling pressure from linear unlocks may weigh on price charts throughout the week. The timing of these events overlaps with sensitive support zones for many altcoins.The post $774M in Token Unlocks Poised to Test Market Liquidity appears on Crypto Front News.
