A fresh $1.69 billion slug of tokens is scheduled to enter circulation over the next seven days, a supply event that routinely tests whether rallies are being driven by new demand or leverage and thin liquidity.
Tokenomist data cited in market updates shows the calendar is dominated by large, one-time “cliff” unlocks — the type that can land on the market all at once — alongside sizeable linear releases that drip supply into trading venues daily.
TRUMP & ONDO Top The Weekly Unlock List
Ondo Finance (ONDO) is the standout on the cliff schedule, with roughly $772 million worth of tokens due to unlock, representing more than half of its adjusted released supply. That kind of jump in available float can overwhelm spot liquidity if holders move quickly to realize gains or re-balance.

Donald Trump’s meme coin TRUMP is next, with close to $300 million unlocked, roughly 13% of adjusted supply.
TRUMP also appears prominently on the linear schedule, with another roughly $299 million slated to unlock over the week — described as nearly 28% of circulating supply — making it one of the more complicated setups for traders trying to model near-term supply.
Other cliff unlocks flagged include Arbitrum (ARB), Starknet (STRK), Sei (SEI) and zkSync (ZK), though at far smaller dollar values. On the linear side, RAIN leads with more than $84 million unlocking over the week, while Solana (SOL) is set to release about $67 million — a relatively small fraction of its circulating supply.
Why This Matters
Such unlock-heavy assets often see volatility cluster around release windows, not just on the day of the event. If you’re positioned in names with large cliff or high-percent linear unlocks, sizing, hedges and exit liquidity matter more than chart patterns this week — and broader bullish sentiment won’t protect tokens facing a sudden jump in tradable supply.
