TOKEN UNLOCK WEEK AHEAD — SUPPLY PRESSURE IN FOCUS

A heavy wave of token unlocks is scheduled for next week, and in a market where liquidity is already tight, fresh supply carries outsized impact.

Here’s what is set to enter circulation between Dec 22–28:

Largest scheduled unlocks

$H: $18.71M

$XPL: $11.41M

$RIVER: $8.56M

$TAKE: $4.90M

$SAHARA: $4.88M

$ID: $4.42M

$SOSO: $3.68M

The real risk is not just the headline dollar amounts, but the share of circulating supply. Several of these releases equal 7–17% of market cap, a scale that can easily overpower shallow order books if unlock recipients choose to exit.

In healthy conditions, markets can absorb new supply.

In weak conditions, supply often dictates price.

With altcoin liquidity already strained, this period may clearly distinguish assets with genuine demand from those supported mainly by expectations. Monitor price behavior closely around unlock events — this is where sentiment is tested against actual market depth.
