Official Trump meme coin leads $906 million token unlocks this week

The crypto market is set for token unlocks totaling $906 million between April 14 and April 21, 2025.

Sixteen various projects will have “cliff unlocks” in this timeframe, according to Tokenomist data. The unlocks’ values vary from $5.61 million to $334 million. The Trump meme coin (TRUMP) is at the forefront with $334 million of tokens set to be released.

TRUMP meme coin unlocks 20% supply

According to Tokenomist, the TRUMP meme coin is set to release 40 million tokens worth around $334 million on April 18. This is 20% of the total supply of tokens. The unlock is the largest dollar-value token release and also one of the largest unlocks in terms of total supply percentage.

Other politically-themed tokens are also undergoing unlocks at the same time, with the MELANIA token scheduled to release 26.25 million tokens worth $12.25 million, or 7.78% of its total supply.

Among other large cliff unlocks scheduled for the April 14-21 period, FTN will release 20 million tokens worth $80.8 million (2.33% of supply), CONX will unlock 4.33 million tokens valued at $77.07 million (7.45% of supply), and QAI will release 565,690 tokens worth $49.53 million (12.7% of supply).

ZKJ follows with 15.53 million tokens valued at $35.25 million (5.6% of supply) and ARB with 92.65 million tokens worth $28.22 million (2.3% of supply). Other notable cliff unlocks include DRB’s massive 1.14 billion token release worth $25.99 million (63.24% of supply), UXLINK’s 37.5 million tokens valued at $18.48 million (5.54% of supply), and STRK’s 127 million tokens worth $16.11 million (8.54% of supply).

OMNI will experience 8.21 million tokens valued at $15.18 million becoming available, accounting for the biggest percent increase of 78.91% of its total supply. Joining IMX at 24.52 million tokens valued at $10.15 million (1.36% of supply), SEI at 55.56 million tokens at $9.63 million value (1.44% of supply), APE at 15.6 million tokens at $6.67 million value (1.88% of supply), and XCN at 296.38 million tokens at $5.61 million value (0.86% of supply) in unlocking from the cliff are completed.

Token unlocks of this size tend to generate selling pressure as newly released tokens come into circulation. This may be sold by early investors, team members, or partners who were given token allocations in initial distributions.

Solana leads large linear unlocks

Whereas cliff unlocks are the immediate token release, linear unlocks release tokens in increments over time. During the period between April 14 and April 21, Solana (SOL) is at the top of the linear unlock with 465,770 SOL tokens worth $60.95 million up for release.

After Solana, Worldcoin (WLD) boasts the second-largest linear unlock of 37.23 million tokens valued at $27.91 million, which is equivalent to 3.02% of its circulating supply. Celestia (TIA) comes in next with 6.96 million tokens valued at $17.12 million (1.20% of supply), followed by Dogecoin (DOGE) which will have 96.52 million tokens valued at $15.92 million unlocked, although this is just 0.06% of its enormous supply.

Other significant linear unlocks are TAO ($12.17 million), Avalanche ($13.92 million), and Polkadot ($8.52 million). These linear releases tend to induce less market volatility compared to cliff unlocks because they are gradual and have a smaller relative effect on circulating supply.

The total value of all linear unlocks for this period is around $181 million, which is much lower than the cliff unlocks.

Other lesser known token unlocks

Beyond the headline-grabbing TRUMP token and major blockchain platforms like Solana, several lesser-known projects are scheduled for substantial token unlocks during the April 14-21 period.

According to CoinMarketCap statistics, DRB has one of the largest supply increases. The project is releasing 1.14 billion worth $25.99 million. That is 63.24% of its total supply – the second highest among all tokens having unlocks scheduled.

Equally, OMNI will release 8.21 million tokens worth $15.18 million, a huge 78.91% of its supply, the largest percentage rise of any token in this timeframe.

Starknet (STRK) boasts a substantial unlock with 127 million tokens worth $16.11 million (8.54% of supply). The next unlock for the token will unleash a further 163.04 million STRK worth around $20.6 million.

Other unlocks of prominence include ZKJ ($35.25 million, 5.6% supply), UXLINK ($18.48 million, 5.54% supply), and ARB ($28.22 million, 2.3% supply). The APE token, focused on gaming, will have $6.67 million unlocked, while the XCN, data-focused, will unlock $5.61 million worth of tokens.

The unlock tracker also indicates some projects at initial stages of their token distribution cycles. KonnektVPN (KPN) indicates 39% unlock progress with 27 million KPN tokens pending as its next release. Turbos Finance is also 35.10% through its unlock schedule with 106.46 million TURBOS tokens in the pipeline, and Sei has reached 48.82% of its unlock progression with 224.86 million SEI tokens ready for future release.
