Over $1.14B in token unlocks scheduled for October 13–19
According to Tokenomist, the total value of token unlocks scheduled from October 13–19 will reach $1.14 billion.
From October 13 to 19, the cumulative amount of tokens entering circulation will reach $1.14 billion, one of October’s largest token unlock weeks. The key highlights include Starknet, Arbitrum, and Fasttoken.
Onyxcoin (October 15). A total of 296 million XCN ($3.12M) will be unlocked and allocated to the DAO Treasury and Foundation. This is primarily a technical event with limited market impact.
IOTA (October 15). The unlock of 12.4 million IOTA ($2.21M) will be distributed among the IOTA Foundation, Tangle Ecosystem Association, and DLT Foundation. Since this represents less than 0.3% of total supply, impact expected to be limited.
Sei (October 15). One of the week’s most notable unlocks - 55.6 million SEI ($15.69M, or 1.15% of supply) - will be distributed to the project team. Previous unlocks in comparable projects have sometimes led to, though the amount remains small compared to Sei’s market cap of $1.73B.
Arbitrum (October 16). The largest unlock of the week - 92.6 million ARB ($39.12M), or 1.99% of total supply - will be distributed among the team, advisors, and investors. Previous unlocks led to 3–5% price corrections, but this time the market appears more resilient.
Wormhole (October 17). The project will unlock 50 million W ($5.47M), distributed among strategic participants, core contributors, ecosystem incubation, and guardian nodes, aimed at network growth and partnerships.
ApeCoin (October 17). 26 million APE ($8.9M) will be unlocked across several categories - Treasury, Yuga Labs, founders, community, and charity programs. While the nominal amount is large, it represents only 1.7% of supply, limiting its overall market impact.
Fasttoken (October 18). The week will conclude with the unlocking of 20 million FTN ($40M), or 2.04% of supply, allocated to the project’s founders. Since this tranche involves founders’ tokens, moderate sell pressure is possible as a portion may enter circulation.
