The cryptocurrency market is preparing for a wave of token unlocks this week, with more than 14 altcoins set to release over $65 million worth of previously locked tokens into circulation. According to data from Tokenomist and Bitcoinsistemi.com, the schedule spanning July 13–18 includes significant unlocks from layer-2 networks, DeFi protocols, and meme coins.
CONX leads the way with the largest single unlock, valued at approximately $28.67 million. On July 15 at 00:00 UTC, 1.32 million CONX tokens (1.45% of circulating supply) will become tradable. CONX is tied to a decentralized exchange aggregator, and this event is part of its planned distribution.
Layer-2 tokens StarkNet (STRK) and Arbitrum (ARB) also feature prominently. STRK will release 130 million tokens ($3.93 million, 3.74% of supply) on July 15, while ARB follows on July 16 with 92.65 million tokens ($8.53 million, 1.65% of supply). Both have undergone regular unlock cycles, but the increased float could introduce short-term volatility in these established projects.
DeBridge (DBR) poses the highest relative supply risk, with 620 million DBR tokens ($10.13 million) entering circulation on July 17 — a massive 11.43% of its current supply. Similarly, YZY will unlock 20.83 million tokens ($6.13 million) the same day, representing 4.10% of its supply. These larger proportional unlocks could amplify price swings if holders sell.
Other notable unlocks include Unitas Labs (UP) $2.92M, Chainbase (C) $1.55M, Magma Finance (MAGMA) $5.01M, Alaya AI (AGT) $2.06M, GoPlus (GPS) $1.69M, Valve (VALVE) $2.61M, STBL $8.42M, RollX (ROLL) $2.58M, Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) $4.29M, Caldera (ERA) $6.46M, Solv Protocol (SOLV) $1.20M, ZKsync (ZK) $1.82M, and Lombard (BARD) $1.34M. Most of these unlocks will occur in the early hours of July 13–18.
Traders should monitor on-chain movements post-unlock, as large transfers to exchanges could signal selling pressure. While scheduled unlocks are a normal part of a project's lifecycle and do not guarantee price declines, the concentrated supply additions — especially for smaller-cap tokens like DBR and ERA — merit caution. Overall market sentiment remains positive, with Bitcoin up 2.36% this week, but the deluge of new tokens may test altcoin resilience.
