As we move further into 2026, two pivotal events on the XPL calendar are approaching. These milestones represent significant shifts in tokenomics and market liquidity.
1. US Participant Unlock (July 28, 2026)
Overview:
Tokens purchased by US-based participants during the July 2025 public sale—accounting for 10% of the total supply—are scheduled for release. This is the first major supply expansion since the launch of the mainnet beta.
Market Impact:
Liquidity & Volatility: Approximately 1B XPL (valued at ~$137M based on current market rates) will enter circulation. This may introduce short-term bearish pressure as early participants realize gains.
Compliance Milestone: Successfully executing this unlock for US residents signals significant progress in meeting local regulatory standards, paving the way for broader US adoption.
2. Team & Investor Vesting (Beginning September 25, 2026)
Following the public unlock, the vesting period for the project’s core team and early-stage investors will officially commence.#PLASMA $XPL @Plasma
