Over $1.4 billion in token unlocks will flood the cryptocurrency market during the week of January 26 to February 2, 2026, according to data from CoinGecko. Of that total, $154.95 million arrives as cliff releases — single-batch distributions that enter circulation immediately rather than through linear vesting.
Sui (SUI) dominates the week’s unlocks with a $62.68 million release. However, this represents only a 1.14% increase in circulating supply, minimizing the expected price impact. Sui’s extended vesting schedule gradually unlocks tokens allocated to early investors, the team, and community initiatives, and traders generally watch these events for potential sell pressure. Despite the high dollar value, the tiny supply bump suggests muted market reaction.
Four mid-tier projects follow in the $10–12 million range. EigenCloud unlocks $11.82 million (6.71% of supply), while Sign releases $11.72 million — a staggering 17.61% of its total supply, the highest percentage on the list. Kamino adds $10.51 million (6.12%), and Jupiter closes the group with $10.15 million (3.95%). For Sign holders, the relative supply impact is severe, even though the absolute dollar amount lags behind Sui.
The lower tier of unlocks includes Optimism ($9.15M, 1.62%), Ethena ($6.73M, 0.56%), Sahara AI ($5.54M, 8.30%), ZetaChain ($3.47M, 2.10%), and Gunz ($2.63M, 5.70%). Ethena’s release, while the smallest supply addition at just 0.56%, still ranks among the larger dollar figures. In contrast, Sahara AI’s 8.30% supply increase stands out as proportionally significant, warranting close monitoring.
The key takeaway is that supply percentage matters more than dollar value. A large nominal unlock is not automatically bearish if the floating supply is massive; conversely, a modest dollar amount can be disruptive if it represents a big slice of the market. With Sign and Sahara AI facing pronounced dilution, their charts deserve extra attention around the unlock dates.
