Crypto market watchers are bracing themselves for a multi-million batch of crypto tokens unlocks this week. According to Collin Wu’s estimations, there’s quite a few large single unlocks, each over $5 million. These include Sui’s native SUI token, the popular Solana exchange Jupiter’s JUP coin, as well as Optimism (OP) & Kamino (KMNO).

Multi-Million Single Unlocks Dim Market Optimism

In Jupiter’s case, the 53.47 million JUP crypto tokens will be dished out among Mercurial stakeholders & the developer team on August 28, 2025. Next up, Kamino’s (KMNO) massive 229.17 million unlocks will follow two days later, rewarding core contributors, the advisory team as well as the stakeholders.

Optimism (OP), a Layer-2 chain built atop of Ethereum (ETH), will also pour in 31.34 million tokens on August 31, 2025, converting to nearly $24 million. This represents 1.90% of all OP crypto’s token supply, so traders expect the inflation to test the market waters.

TRUMP Coin, Solana Top Daily Crypto Unlock List

Besides the single-handed token unlocks, the popular crypto aficionado named a few linear unlocks to watch out for this week. Some of the biggest daily unlocks this week include Solana (SOL), Worldcoin (WLD), Celestia (TIA) & the official Trump coin (TRUMP), each above $5 million.

Until the end of the month, Solana’s (SOL) $14 million daily unlocks will continue to inflate the markets. Meanwhile, Worldcoin (WLD) unleashes around $5 million a day. Additionally, there’s a nearly 1% unlock for Celestia (TIA) coming up in the span of 7 days, worth over $14 million.

Notably, Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin fans could be the ones hit the heaviest, as 2.45% off supply is slated for unlocking this week. Judging by value, Sui’s blockchain native SUI token & Solana’s (SOL) clearly top this list with $262 million in combined unlocks, even though SOL’s 7-day unlocks represent just 0.09% of the asset’s supply.

On The Flipside

  • If met with substantial buying power, the multi-million token unlocks might not have a negative impact on the digital asset’s price.

Why This Matters

Pre-scheduled token unlocks could be both beneficial & hazardous for the digital economy, depending on the coin’s popularity, infrastructural development & social sentiment.

People Also Ask:

What’s fueling this $999M token unlock firestorm?

A massive $999M token unlock looms this week, with SOL ($102.8M, 0.09% of supply), SUI ($159.26M, 1.25% of supply), and TRUMP ($41.96M, 2.45% of supply) leading the charge. These unlocks, set to hit exchanges like Coinbase, could flood markets with fresh supply, potentially wrecking price stability if demand doesn’t keep up.

How could these unlocks slam SOL, SUI & TRUMP prices?

The unlock hasn’t dropped yet, but the threat is real. SUI’s hefty 1.25% cliff unlock and TRUMP’s 2.45% release could swamp markets, especially with TRUMP already down 88% from its $74.27 peak. SOL’s smaller 0.09% unlock might hold at $180 with ETF hype, but heavy whale selling could still tank prices across the board.

How does Ciphera expose this $999M unlock threat?

Ciphera, citing Tokenomist data, tracks August’s $3.06B unlock wave, pinpointing SOL, SUI, and TRUMP as key players. By analyzing on-chain schedules, they reveal SUI’s $215.6M mixed cliff-linear unlock, SOL’s $366.9M linear drip, and TRUMP’s $376M release, warning of potential price chaos if whales dump post-unlock.

Will SOL, SUI, and TRUMP crash or claw back?

The unlocks, still pending, could spark carnage. TRUMP’s massive 2.45% unlock risks a sell-off, given its 30-day 30% slide. SUI’s $159.26M drop might test its $3.69 support, while SOL’s $102.8M unlock seems less brutal but isn’t safe. However, bullish ETF news or Trump’s crypto reserve hype could counter the pressure.

What should traders track to dodge this unlock bloodbath?

Watch SOL’s $165 support, SUI’s $3.69 level, and TRUMP’s $7.70 price for signs of collapse or recovery. Also, monitor whale moves and exchange inflows on Coinbase. Meanwhile, October’s ETF rulings and Trump’s Crypto Summit could either ignite a rally or amplify the dump when unlocks hit.
