Crypto markets face a heavy supply calendar this week as a $411 million wave of token unlocks arrives, led by LayerZero’s ZRO and KAITO. The schedule mixes one-time releases with steady linear emissions from large caps like Solana, Worldcoin, Dogecoin, and Celestia, setting a busy backdrop for traders watching liquidity shifts and near-term volatility across majors.

ZRO and KAITO headline the week

LayerZero leads single events with 25.71 million ZRO worth $52.44 million, equal to 9.32% of the week’s scheduled unlock supply share. KAITO has 23.35 million tokens valued at $25.05 million, 9.67% of its quarterly unlock allocation. SOON completes the group with 41.88 million tokens worth $11.49 million, having the highest percentage impact at 17.81%. Combined, these three inject over $88 million in fresh supply, a setup that often sparks short-term price swings.

Linear unlocks set the backdrop


Solana tops linear emissions with 506.47K SOL worth $92.65 million released gradually through the week, a modest 0.09% of circulating supply given its base. TRUMP releases 4.89 million tokens valued at $44.01 million, affecting 2.45% of the total circulation. Worldcoin introduces 37.23 million WLD worth $35.78 million, representing 1.98%. Bittensor issues 50.40K TAO valued at $18.06 million, Dogecoin provides 96.54 million DOGE at $21.66 million, and Celestia offers 6.96 million TIA at $14.10 million.

Why the emissions matter

Linear schedules create continuous market pressure as new tokens drip into circulation, while concentrated cliffs force faster price discovery as order books absorb supply. This week, in addition to SOL, there is also AVAX with 700K tokens valued at $16.75 million, SUI with 3.01 million valued at $10.91 million, MORPHO with 6.96 million valued at $13.77 million, ETHFI with 8.46 million valued at $9.82 million, and ENS with 307.7K valued at $7.86 million.
