Token unlocks mean that new tokens enter the open market. These tokens were locked before and could not be traded. When they are released the supply increases. This can change price movement for a short time. Many traders watch these days closely because prices can move fast.
One of the important unlocks this week is XPL. On November 25 XPL will release 4.74 percent of its circulating supply. The value of this unlock is about 17.54 million dollars. This is a high supply release compared to its current market size. When a large part of supply is unlocked some holders may decide to sell. This can create short term pressure on price. At the same time some traders may look for chances after the unlock is done.
Another token to watch is ZORA. ZORA will unlock about 8.92 million dollars worth of tokens. This equals 4.35 percent of its circulating supply. This is also a notable amount. Even though the total value is lower than some others the supply share is still high. This can lead to active trading and quick moves during the unlock period.
The largest unlock by value this week belongs to HYPE. On November 29 HYPE will unlock around 304 million dollars worth of tokens. This equals 2.66 percent of its circulating supply. The supply share is smaller than XPL or ZORA. Still the high dollar value makes it very important. Large unlocks like this can affect market mood and short term flow.
JUP is scheduled to unlock on November 28. The value is around 12.50 million dollars. This equals 1.69 percent of circulating supply. H will unlock on November 25 with about 7.36 million dollars which equals 2.92 percent. SAHARA will unlock around 6.53 million dollars which equals 3.47 percent of supply. These mid size unlocks can still cause short term price moves especially if trading volume is not very high.
SOSO will unlock on November 24. The value is about 2.48 million dollars. This equals 1.61 percent of circulating supply. Even small unlocks can matter for new or low volume tokens. Early holders may sell some tokens once they are free.
Token unlock weeks often bring higher movement. Prices may drop before or after the unlock. Sometimes prices recover once selling pressure ends. Each project reacts in its own way. Traders often look at supply size timing and market mood to plan their actions.
