As the new week begins, investors are turning their attention to several projects set to unlock tokens worth hundreds of millions of dollars. These major token unlock events often coincide with periods of heightened price volatility, making them key indicators for both investors and traders.
According to the latest data from CryptoRank.io, several notable token unlocks will take place during the week of October 6–12, including Aptos (APT), Linea (LINEA), Jito (JTO), Avantis (AVNT), Home (HOME), Holo (HOT), and Babylon (BABY).
As the locked tokens in these projects are released, more than $142 million worth of tokens will enter circulation, potentially influencing market dynamics in the coming days.
Aptos (APT) – $61.41 Million in Tokens Unlocking
- Unlock Date: October 12
- Amount: 11.31 million APT (0.96% of total supply)
- Market Cap: $6.41 billion
Aptos will host the week’s largest token unlock event. The release of $61 million worth of tokens may create short-term selling pressure. However, analysts suggest that increasing developer activity within the Aptos ecosystem could help mitigate this effect.
Linea (LINEA) – $27.28 Million
- Unlock Date: October 10
- Amount: 1.02 million LINEA (1.42% of total supply)
- Market Cap: $1.93 billion
Ethereum Layer-2 network Linea stands out with a $27 million token unlock. Recent DeFi integrations and zkEVM-based scaling solutions have kept investor interest high.
Jito Labs (JTO) – $17.97 Million
- Unlock Date: October 7
- Amount: 11.31 million JTO (1.13% of total supply)
- Market Cap: $1.59 billion
Jito Labs, a key project in the Solana ecosystem, has gained attention recently due to growth in its staking infrastructure. The $17 million token release may lead to short-term volatility.
Avantis (AVNT) – $13.71 Million
- Unlock Date: October 10
- Amount: 2.22 million AVNT (1.22% of total supply)
- Market Cap: $1.12 billion
DeFi-focused Avantis is preparing for a $13 million token unlock as part of its goal to expand its token economy. Analysts believe AVNT could attract further liquidity in the long term.
Home (HOME) – $9.83 Million
- Unlock Date: October 10
- Amount: 331.09 million HOME (3.19% of total supply)
- Market Cap: $297 million
HOME’s unlock represents a significant portion of its token supply. While this may create short-term price pressure, the project team expects the impact to be limited through new DeFi partnerships.
Holo (HOT) – $7.64 Million
- Unlock Date: October 11
- Amount: 31.47 million HOT (1.68% of total supply)
- Market Cap: $450 million
Holo, known for its Web3 infrastructure solutions, views this unlock as part of an ecosystem renewal process.
Babylon (BABY) – $6.24 Million
- Unlock Date: October 10
- Amount: 121.6 million BABY (1.68% of total supply)
- Market Cap: $534 million
The final major unlock of the week will occur in Babylon, a Bitcoin staking-based project. The $6.24 million release covers tokens reserved for early investors and the development team.
Overall Assessment
The seven major token unlocks scheduled for the second week of October represent a potential market impact exceeding $142 million. Such events are particularly noteworthy during periods when the market is seeking direction.
Analysts note that these unlocks can directly affect not only the prices of the respective tokens but also overall market liquidity. In projects with high market capitalization, such as Aptos (APT), Linea (LINEA), and Jito (JTO), the influx of newly unlocked tokens may lead to short-term price fluctuations and selling pressure.
