A Wave of Token Unlocks Is Approaching and the Market Is Watching Closely

A significant wave of token unlocks is scheduled for the coming week, and the scale is large enough to command close attention from market participants. Fresh data from Token Unlocks highlights several projects preparing to release a meaningful portion of their circulating supply, potentially influencing short-term market dynamics.

Leading the list is Humanity (H), which is set to unlock approximately 105 million tokens on December 25 at 8:00 AM Beijing time. This release represents 4.79% of the current circulating supply, with an estimated market value of $14.8 million, making it the most substantial unlock of the week.

Close behind, Plasma (XPL) will unlock around 88.89 million tokens later the same day at 8:00 PM Beijing time. The unlock accounts for 4.5% of circulating supply and carries a projected value of roughly $11.7 million, positioning it as another event traders will likely monitor closely.

Earlier in the week, SOON is scheduled for an unlock of approximately 21.88 million tokens on December 23 at 4:30 PM Beijing time. This release equals 5.97% of its circulating supply, with an estimated value of $8 million, a notable percentage relative to its existing float.

Also on the radar is MBG by Multibank Group (MBG), which will unlock 15.84 million tokens on December 22 at 8:00 PM Beijing time. This represents 8.42% of circulating supply, translating to about $8.1 million in value and marking one of the higher proportional unlocks this week.

Rounding out the list, Undeads Games (UDS) will release approximately 2.15 million tokens on December 23 at 8:00 AM Beijing time. While smaller in absolute terms, the unlock is still meaningful, accounting for 1.46% of circulating supply and valued at roughly $5.2 million.

With multiple sizable unlocks clustered into a short timeframe, the week ahead presents a critical window for liquidity shifts, sentiment changes, and volatility across several ecosystems. As always, how these newly unlocked tokens are distributed and absorbed by the market will be just as important as the numbers themselves.
