Aptos (APT) leads $304 million token unlocks this week as BTC drops to $76,000

More than $304 million in tokens are due for release between April 7-14, 2025.

Based on data from Tokenomist,  Aptos (APT) is at the forefront with about $49.76 million in tokens due for release. That constitutes 2.47% of its overall supply.

This token release is happening at a difficult moment for the cryptocurrency market as Bitcoin recently fell to $75,000, failing to hold above $80,000.

Aptos leads large token cliff unlocks

Aptos (APT) is positioned at the top of this week’s token unlock schedule with 11.31 million tokens worth $49.76 million set to be released. This makes it the largest single unlock by value among all cryptocurrencies during this period.

Following Aptos, SAGA is scheduled for an even larger unlock in terms of percentage of supply. As per the data, 133.33 million tokens valued at $33.58 million are entering circulation. This release will add 222.22% to SAGA’s current supply.

Some other large cliff unlocks are Axie Infinity (AXS) with 9.09 million tokens ($22.73 million, 3.58% of supply), MOVE with 50 million tokens ($16.16 million, 2.08% of supply), and TNSR with 120 million tokens ($14.58 million, 35.86% of supply). The definition “cliff unlock” applies to a model of token distribution in which lots of tokens all come on-stream simultaneously, rather than spread over time.

Solana unlocks $50 million worth SOL

Solana (SOL) dominates the linear unlock category with 465,770 SOL tokens worth $50.05 million to be released progressively this week. Unlike cliff unlocks where all the tokens are dropped at once, linear unlocks provide tokens progressively over a predetermined duration. Although the dollar value is large, this SOL unlock constitutes merely 0.09% of the prevailing circulating supply.

The relatively small percentage impact on Solana’s supply suggests the unlock may have minimal direct effect on SOL’s price. The unlock comes at a time when SOL has dropped below the $100 level.

Following Solana, Worldcoin (WLD) has the second-largest linear unlock with 37.23 million tokens worth $24.04 million (3.02% of circulating supply). Celestia (TIA) follows with 6.96 million tokens valued at $16.91 million (1.20% of supply), while Dogecoin (DOGE) will see 96.52 million tokens worth $16.09 million released. However, this represents just 0.06% of its massive supply.

Other notable linear unlocks include OM ($14.49 million), TAO ($9.61 million), Avalanche ($11.35 million), Sui ($7.18 million), Polkadot ($8.52 million), and Internet Protocol ($9.60 million). Each of these projects will see their tokens gradually enter circulation throughout the week.

Less popular token unlocks

According to CoinMarketCap data, beyond the major token unlocks, several smaller or less mainstream cryptocurrencies are also scheduled for substantial unlocks this week. Among the smaller market cap tokens undergoing unlocks, Self Chain (SLF) is currently showing a 45.38% unlock progress with 9.89 million SLF tokens (worth $1.82 million) scheduled as its next unlock. The token has already dropped 11.98% in the last 24 hours.

Masa (MASA) is another token facing substantial unlocks, with 42.03% of its unlock schedule completed and 23.86 million tokens worth approximately $320,305 set for release. MASA has seen a sharp 21.53% decline in the last 24 hours. This is among the steepest drops of all tokens with scheduled unlocks.

Trossard (TROSS) is approaching its next unlock of 100.02 million tokens. The project is currently at 38.17% of its total unlock schedule. Port3 Network (PORT3) has completed 19.25% of its unlock schedule, with 28.16 million tokens worth approximately $343,679 scheduled for its next release. This represents 2.82% of the total locked supply.
