The freshly started week has quite a few crypto token unlocks under its sleeve, tied to numerous major-cap altcoins. Over the next 7 days, some of the heaviest cliff unlocks include Aptos chain (APT), Sonic (S), CONX, STRK, BANANA, IO, BB, MOVE & PEAQ.

Solana, Trump Coin Top Unlock List

Unlocked all at once, cliff unlocking method usually boosts the underlying asset’s inflation rate, while linear daily unlocks provide a softer blow, but can still cause a price dip. Among the largest linear token unlocks are Solana (SOL), Official Trump coin (TRUMP), Worldcoin (WLD) & Dogecoin (DOGE).

Solana’s SOL token clearly tops this list being the only token with over $100 million in token unlocks this week. However, that counts for just 0.09% of Solana’s supply. On the other hand, the United States President-themed Official Trump coin (TRUMP) is set for a 1.52% unlock this week, pouring in $41.37 million into the markets.

Token Unlock Dates To Watch Out For

For one, Aptos (APT) holders shall mark their calendars for September 11, 2025. 11.31 million APT coins, encompassing 2.20% of all token supply, are set to enter the markets. 3.96 million of this is going to be divided among APT chain’s core contributors, while community initiatives get 3.21 million, according to Tokenomist.

Meanwhile, Sonic (S), a popular DeFi solution, is set to release 150 million tokens into Spot market offerings on September 9, 2025. This takes up nearly 5% of Sonic’s total crypto supply, so price fluctuations are to be expected.

Previously, Sonic Network released 0.95% of supply on July 22, 2025, approximately $10.98 million. That time, Sonic coin slid from $0.40 to $0.37 amidst the unlocking event, but such inflation instances can be overshadowed by hefty trading volumes.

Conversely, the smallest token unlock in this group belongs to Dogecoin (DOGE), with 96.54M coins waiting to be unleashed, representing just 0.06%. Dogecoin ruins on Proof of Work (PoW) consensus, so there’s an approximate 14.4 million figure of DOGE coins entering the market every day, as each production block rewards miners 10,000 DOGE.

People Also Ask:

What’s a token unlock?

A token unlock releases previously locked crypto tokens into the open market, making them tradable. This increases supply, which can lower prices if selling pressure is high.

What’s the $513M unlock in September 2025?

Per Ciphera and Collin Wu, a $513M token unlock is expected in the first week of September 2025, involving Solana (SOL), Aptos (APT), and Official Trump (TRUMP).

How will Solana (SOL) fare that week?

Solana’s unlock (~$77.4M, 0.09% of supply) is small. Priced at $215.46 with strong demand, SOL might see minor dips but should hold steady unless broader market panic hits.

What’s the deal with Aptos (APT)?

Aptos unlocks 11.31M tokens ($48.5M) around September 12. With 43–44% of supply already unlocked, this could spark a short-term sell-off, but APT’s price may recover if its blockchain momentum holds.

Why’s TRUMP’s unlock a big deal?

TRUMP’s $178.67M unlock (6.83% of supply) in mid-September is huge for a memecoin. Down 78% from its January peak ($8.51), this cliff unlock could trigger heavy selling, dumping its price further.
