A series of major token unlocks worth more than $430 million is set to take place between October 20 and 26, 2025, across several prominent crypto projects. According to on-chain data from Tokenomist, upcoming large-scale token releases for ZRO, XPL, MBG, SCR, SOON, H, and KAITO could impact short-term market dynamics as circulating supply rises.
The combined value of upcoming unlocks is estimated to surpass $431 million, potentially exerting varying degrees of selling pressure depending on individual project liquidity and investor behavior.
ZRO, XPL, and MBG Lead With High-Value Unlocks
Among the most significant releases this week, LayerZero (ZRO), Plasma (XPL), and Magic Blocks Game (MBG) are expected to account for the largest shares of value. Notably, ZRO will unlock approximately 25.71 million tokens on October 20, representing 7.86% of its circulating supply and valued at around $44.48 million.
Similarly, Plasma (XPL) will release 88.89 million tokens on October 25, worth $37.41 million, or 4.97% of its supply. MBG, unlocking on October 22, will free up 15.84 million tokens valued at $17.09 million, representing 11.97% of its total supply.
Additional Unlocks Include SCR, SOON, KAITO, H, and VENOM
Other scheduled unlocks include Scroll (SCR), SOON, KAITO, Humanity (H), and Venom (VENOM), all contributing to the cumulative release of $430 million worth of tokens this week.
SCR will unlock approximately 82.5 million tokens on October 22, accounting for 43.42% of its circulating supply and valued at $14.79 million. SOON will unlock 15.21 million tokens on October 23, worth $14.47 million, while KAITO will release 8.35 million tokens on October 20, valued at $8.7 million.
In addition, Humanity is expected to unlock 62.5 million tokens on October 25, worth $7.3 million, and Venom will release 59.26 million tokens valued at approximately $6.18 million on the same day. These events collectively highlight an active week of token emissions that could influence liquidity and trading patterns across exchanges.
Market Implications and Broader Unlock Trends
While unlocking events do not always translate directly into immediate sell-offs, the increased supply often introduces short-term volatility.
According to Tokenomist, daily linear unlocks exceeding $1 million are also expected for projects such as Solana (SOL), Worldcoin (WLD), Dogecoin (DOGE), Avalanche (AVAX), Sui (SUI), Polkadot (DOT), and Official Trump (TRUMP).
While Solana will unlock about 496,020 SOL ($95.78 million), Worldcoin, Trump, Dogecoin, and Avalanche will release 37.23 million WLD ($34.5 million), 4.89 million TRUMP ($29.44 million), 96.78 million DOGE ($19.48 million), and 700,000 AVAX ($14.62 million), respectively.
These continuous unlocks add to the broader liquidity influx across major blockchain ecosystems. Historically, projects with large one-time unlocks experience temporary downward pressure before market stabilization, though outcomes vary depending on token distribution models and investor sentiment.
