October is shaping up to be a busy month for token unlocks.



According to the latest CryptoRank-based data, the top 7 scheduled unlocks are estimated at around $470.66M in total. The largest by dollar value is BTW, with roughly $137.7M scheduled for October 2.

Here’s the breakdown:

• FF — ~$25.93M | Oct 1
• BTW — ~$137.70M | Oct 2
• 2Z — ~$105.54M | Oct 2
• ADI — ~$58.03M | Oct 9
• PUMP — ~$35.95M | Oct 14
• ZRO — ~$40.58M | Oct 20
• AKE — ~$66.93M | Oct 21

What caught my attention is 2Z. Its scheduled unlock is estimated at about 16.3% of total supply, equivalent to roughly 46.8% of its current market cap in the referenced data. That makes the percentage impact more important than simply looking at the dollar amount.

At the same time, I wouldn’t automatically treat every unlock as a bearish event.

An unlock simply means previously locked tokens become available. Whether those tokens actually reach the market depends on the recipients and their decisions. The dollar figures can also change as token prices move.

For me, the interesting part will be watching volume, liquidity and price behaviour around each unlock date.

The headline number is big, but the real story is what happens after the tokens become available.

2Z accounts for an outrageous share—can the market absorb 16% of the circulating supply being dumped?

BTW has the largest unlock amount, but its proportion may not necessarily be the most damaging; the key is whether the team will sell.

I actually think that for something like PUMP, despite the small amount, its meme nature makes the sentiment impact of the unlock much greater.

First Review
Unlocking ≠ dumping, but for something like 2Z, with the unlock amount close to half its market cap, has the expected selling pressure already been priced in?
