Oh, brilliant. Just when I’d finally stopped having mild panic attacks about my savings, the crypto markets have decided to serve up a side of existential dread with their token unlock specials this week. May 4 to May 11, mark your diaries-or don’t, because who really wants to?
- HYPE and ENA are leading the cliff unlocks, because nothing says ‘stability’ like a sheer drop-off. Together, they’re adding a casual $34 million+ in new supply. Cheers for that.
- RAIN is apparently having a linear unlock fire sale to the tune of $78.39 million. Meanwhile, Solana’s adding $38.90 million, because why should one blockchain have all the fun?
- SXT, RED and OPN are showing off their high supply ratios like it’s a talent show. Cue the dramatic music for anticipated short-term price moves. How original.
According to data from Tokenomist (shared by WuBlockchain, the digital equivalent of a friend whispering gossip at a party), we’re looking at over $229 million in tokens being unleashed this week. Releases include Hyperliquid, Ethena, Space and Time, RedStone, Opinion, Rain, Solana, Corn, TRUMP, Worldcoin and Bittensor. Traders track these because new supply ‘could’ add selling pressure if demand doesn’t absorb it. Or, you know, if everyone just collectively decides to panic. It’s a toss-up.
HYPE and ENA: The Cliffhangers We Didn’t Ask For
Hyperliquid’s unlocking 422,000 HYPE tokens worth about $17.51 million. That’s 0.11% of adjusted released supply, which sounds tiny until you remember it’s still enough to buy a small country’s worth of artisanal toast.
Ethena’s joining the party with 171.88 million ENA tokens (worth ~$17.28 million), accounting for 2.12% of adjusted supply. Yes, that’s the Ethereum protocol behind the USDe synthetic dollar-because what’s a synthetic dollar without a little synthetic drama?
SXT, RED and OPN: Supply Ratio Royalty
Space and Time is unlocking a whopping 387.64 million SXT tokens valued at ~$5.96 million. That’s 23.20% of adjusted released supply-basically printing money like it’s going out of style, which it might be.
RedStone will release 40.85 million RED tokens (~$5.54 million), equal to 12.20% of adjusted supply. Opinion’s unlocking 32.09 million OPN tokens (~$5.45 million), also around 12.22%. It’s like they all coordinated to max out their credit cards at the same time. Thrilling.
Linear Unlocks: The Daily Grind of Market Pressure
Tokenomist’s data also highlights the linear unlocks-the crypto equivalent of a slow, steady drip of existential crisis.
Rain leads with 10.47 billion RAIN tokens worth $78.39 million (2.19% of circulating supply). Because nothing says ‘spring’ like a monsoon of tokens.
Solana follows with 464,650 SOL (~$38.90 million). That’s only 0.08% of circulating supply, so it’s like a whisper in the wind. A very expensive whisper.
Corn’s unlocking 191.71 million CC tokens ($28.36 million, 0.50% of supply). TRUMP’s releasing 6.33 million tokens ($14.75 million, 2.72%). Worldcoin’s tossing in 37.23 million WLD ($9.70 million). Bittensor’s contributing 25,200 TAO ($7.29 million). It’s a real potluck of anxiety.
