Over the next week, $800 million worth of coins are expected to enter the market, which may impact price and liquidity.
Affected Altcoins
According to Tokenomist, during the next week, a total of coins exceeding $800 million will enter the market. Some of these unlocks will occur as sudden releases (cliff unlocks), while others will take place gradually (linear unlocks).
Prominent altcoins include Solana, Dogecoin, and SUI. **Solana** stands out with an unlock of approximately $67 million, which has already led to short-term price increases. **Dogecoin** is also in focus with a $17 million unlock. Meanwhile, **SUI** will see nearly $262 million worth of coins released both in bulk and through linear means.
Market Reactions to Unlocks
Experts warn that a high volume of coins entering the market poses risks, especially for short-term investors. Sudden increases in liquidity can sometimes lead to rapid declines or excessive volatility. During such periods, prices may experience more severe fluctuations than anticipated.
In addition to Solana, Dogecoin, and SUI, similar unlocks will occur in various altcoins. The release of locked coins in certain projects may increase the likelihood of major investors (whales) reorganizing their portfolios, leading to unexpected selling pressure or short-term market fluctuations.
Investor Warnings
Market observers emphasize that investors should pay attention not only to supply increases but also to the transparency policies of project management and the intended use of funds. Some projects may choose to hold unlocked coins for strategic purposes rather than selling them directly or may implement buyback programs.
The anticipated altcoin unlocks set the stage for increased liquidity and volatility in the market. Investors should exercise caution and monitor changes closely to minimize risks.
