The week of October 20–26, 2025, is shaping up to be an active one for the crypto market, with more than $120 million worth of tokens scheduled to be unlocked. Among the standout projects are ZRO, XPL, and SOON, which are expected to draw strong market attention.
According to Tokenomist data, the new week in the crypto market begins with several major token unlock events, signaling potential volatility as previously locked tokens enter circulation.
Biggest Unlock of the Week: ZRO (LayerZero)
The largest token unlock this week will come from ZRO (LayerZero). Around 32.71% of locked tokens — valued at $42.42 million — will be released into circulation, representing roughly 23.13% of ZRO’s total supply. Analysts warn that such a large-scale unlock could increase short-term volatility.
“In high market-cap projects like ZRO, major unlock periods often trigger short-term selling pressure but tend to stabilize the market in the mid-term.”

Other Notable Unlocks: XPL, MBG, and SOON
Beyond ZRO, several other projects are drawing investor attention this week:
- XPL: $35.19 million worth of tokens to be unlocked (4.94% of supply)
- MBG: $17.23 million unlock (19.01% of supply)
- SOON: $8.66 million unlock (3.87% of supply)
A portion of these unlocked tokens will go to community incentives, founding teams, and investor reserves. While this could lead to short-term price swings, it may also improve liquidity in the long run.
Mid-Sized Unlocks: ALT, AVAIL, H, and KAITO
Other projects with notable unlocks include:
- ALT: $2.36 million (2.9% of supply)
- AVAIL: $1.32 million (4.36% of supply)
- H: $5.68 million (2.74% of supply)
- KAITO: $7.21 million (2.96% of supply)
While smaller in scale, these releases could still cause price fluctuations, especially for lower market-cap tokens.
Market Impact: Volatility Likely to Increase
With more than $120 million worth of tokens entering circulation this week, analysts expect:
- Increased short-term selling pressure
- Volatile price movements
- Improved liquidity supporting high-volume trading
However, some project teams may manage these events through gradual selling strategies, helping the market absorb the new supply more smoothly.
Unlock Week Begins: Key Opportunities and Risks Ahead
The total $120 million in upcoming unlocks could shape this week’s crypto market dynamics, creating both risks and opportunities. Projects like ZRO, XPL, and SOON will be closely watched as investors gauge market reactions. For traders, the week ahead could be crucial for identifying potential dips and accumulation opportunities as the market adjusts to this wave of unlocks.
