The final week of March and the first week of April 2026 are set to bring a significant supply shock to cryptocurrency markets, with over $100 million worth of tokens scheduled to unlock across more than a dozen projects. This concentrated wave of releases, occurring between March 30 and April 5, introduces previously locked supply into circulation, which can create selling pressure if early investors, team members, or protocol treasuries decide to sell their newly accessible holdings.
The largest single unlock belongs to the Sui network, with $47.5 million worth of SUI tokens (53.4 million tokens, or 0.53% of total supply) set for release on April 1. This represents the dominant unlock of the week by a wide margin. The second-largest unlock is for Definitive's EDGE token, with $16.6 million (138.3 million tokens, representing a substantial 13.8% of total supply) scheduled for April 2. This percentage is by far the highest of the week and could have an outsized impact on EDGE's price.
Other notable mid-tier unlocks include Ethena's ENA ($8.81 million, 0.63% of supply on April 2), GUNZ's GUN ($7.03 million, 4.1% of supply on March 31), and EigenCloud's EIGEN ($6.5 million, 2.04% of supply on April 1). The schedule also includes unlocks for Optimism (OP), Bitway (BTW), Zama, Zora, Keeta (KTA), BSquared Network (B2), Kite (KITE), Quack AI (Q), Opinion (OPN), Impossible Cloud Network (ICNT), StakeStone (STO), Lagrange (LA), and Power Protocol (POWER), with values ranging from $1.45 million to $10.42 million.
Analysts note that the projects most vulnerable to short-term downward price movement are those with the highest percentage unlocks relative to their circulating supply. By this measure, EDGE (13.8%), GUN (4.1%), and EIGEN (2.04%) carry elevated risk if recipients choose to sell. The collective impact of these unlocks adds new supply across multiple altcoins in a compressed timeframe, testing market absorption capacity during a period when Bitcoin has already shown volatility, closing a recent week down 3.47% near $66,000.
