Next week is a busy schedule for the crypto market: token unlock waves are coming, and macro data such as US non-farm payrolls will be announced soon

According to the RootData calendar, next week (January 5-11) will see a dense window of important events in the crypto market, with investors focusing on two core drivers: the scale of token unlocks and US non-farm employment data.

## Token unlock pressure concentrates in the latter half of next week

**January 9 is a big unlock day**, with multiple projects releasing circulating tokens simultaneously. Among them, LAVA's unlock is the most prominent—14.52 million tokens will be released (worth approximately $20.79 million), accounting for 54.215% of its circulating supply, a significant release. On the same day, AVNT will unlock 29.25 million tokens (11.318% of circulating supply), MOVE will unlock 176.7361 million tokens (6.313%), and W will unlock 40.3185 million tokens (0.778%), among other projects' unlock schedules.

**There are also unlock events at the beginning of the week and over the weekend**. On January 5, ENA will unlock 171.875 million tokens (market value $40.89 million, 2.235% of circulating supply), and XION will release 1.6786 million tokens on the same day. On January 8, STABLE's unlock volume is also considerable, with 8.888889 billion tokens released, valued at $15.2067 million. By January 11, projects such as MOCA, BMEX, IO, and BMT will also complete their token releases sequentially.

## US non-farm employment data to be released on January 9

The most closely watched macro event this week is the **US December non-farm payrolls**, scheduled for release on January 9, which will provide important reference for the Federal Reserve's policy direction. On the same day, the US December unemployment rate will also be announced. The interaction of these two indicators will directly influence market expectations for the dollar's trend and, consequently, impact overall crypto market sentiment.

Additionally, on January 9, the US Federal Reserve will release initial forecasts for 1-year inflation expectations and 1-year inflation rate for January, along with other economic data, which may increase market volatility.

## Eurozone economic data also warrants attention

On January 7, the Eurozone will release preliminary December CPI year-on-year and month-on-month figures. On January 8, November PPI and unemployment rate data will be published. While these indicators may not directly impact the crypto market as much as US data, they are still worth noting as global economic barometers.

## Frequent speeches by Federal Reserve officials

Between January 5, 6, and 10, several Fed voting members including Kashkari and Barkin will deliver speeches, discussing economic outlooks. Market participants should pay attention to these signals and their influence on policy expectations.
