This highlights a significant token unlock event for $SUI, with $317.35M worth of tokens releasing between April 29 and May 4, 2025, potentially increasing its circulating supply by 30.4% and creating selling pressure, as token unlocks often lead to price declines due to oversupply (source: Flitpay, 2024).
The other six projects listed (OMNI, ENA, OP, UDS, RON, KMO) will unlock a combined $150M, with percentages of circulating supply ranging from 8.5% (KMO) to 34.4% (ENA), showing varied market impacts; larger unlocks relative to market cap, like SUI’s, typically cause higher volatility (source: BeInCrypto, 2024).
Token unlocks are strategic for project stability, preventing sudden supply dumps, but SUI’s large unlock could challenge its price stability at $3.55 (CoinMarketCap, April 2025), especially given its focus on scalable, low-latency transactions in Web3 applications.
