Token Unlock Calendar
Most new coins don’t release all their tokens at once. Tokens held by the team, early investors and the project’s treasury are locked and released on a fixed schedule. On an unlock day a large amount of new tokens can suddenly be sold, so traders watch these dates closely. Here are the next unlocks of 30 major coins.
of tokens across 25 of the coins we follow, valued at today’s prices. Hyperliquid’s monthly maximum is not counted, because its team claims only a small part of it.
Prices from CoinGecko, 31 Oct 2026. Schedules checked 26 Oct 2026.

Released every day
Some coins don’t unlock in steps: a small amount is released every day. That adds steady selling pressure instead of a single big day.

The next 12 months, by who receives the tokens
Value of everything scheduled to unlock each month, at today’s prices. Tokens going to the team and to investors are the ones most likely to be sold; ecosystem tokens are usually paid out slowly as grants and rewards.

- Investors $1.30B
- Foundation & treasury $580M
- Ecosystem & community $1.25B

The first big release: team, investor and Category Labs tokens were locked for one year after the November 24, 2025 launch. Investor and treasury tokens then unlock 1/48 a month; Monad says the rest of the team tokens come out over three years without a fixed monthly amount, so that part is spread evenly here. The percentage uses CoinGecko’s circulating supply (about 12 billion MON). Monad also counts its 38.5 billion ecosystem tokens as unlocked; next to all unlocked tokens, the November release is about a third.

How to read an unlock
- Size next to the circulating supply matters most. $50 million is nothing for a coin worth $50 billion, but a lot for one worth $300 million. That is why we show the percentage.
- Who receives the tokens. Team members and early investors often bought very cheaply and may sell. Ecosystem and treasury tokens are usually spent slowly, as grants and rewards.
- Step or every day. A “cliff” releases a big block on one day. Daily (linear) vesting adds a little every day, which is easier for the market to absorb.
Do unlocks push prices down?
Often, but not always. Big team and investor unlocks have often seen prices weaken in the weeks before, as traders sell early. But unlocked tokens are not always sold: they may be staked, kept or sold slowly. Hyperliquid’s team, for example, has claimed only a small part of what it could each month.
An unlock is one piece of information, not a trading signal. Read about how traders react to news like this in Psychology, and check the project itself in our crypto project reviews.
Schedules: our own list, from each project’s published tokenomics, cross-checked with DefiLlama and news reports, and re-checked every week (sources are listed under each coin). Projects can change their schedules, and some contracts release a few hours earlier or later than the date shown (UTC). Prices and circulating supply: CoinGecko. Not financial advice.
