An unlock is the day locked tokens become sellable. Nothing about the project changes that morning — same code, same team, same product — except one thing: supply that insiders have been sitting on can finally move. This page tracks the unlocks big enough to matter, each one dated, sized as a share of the supply actually trading, and sourced, because the trackers disagree more often than they admit (see the notes under the table).
One reading rule before the numbers: the dollar figure is the headline, but the percentage of circulating supply is the story. A $40M unlock into a deep market is a shrug; a $6M unlock that grows the tradable supply by a fifth is a weather event.
Snapshot checked November 5, 2026. Dates and token counts come from the sources linked in each row; dollar values are priced as of the check date and move with the market. This page is refreshed on a rolling basis — if a date below has passed, the next refresh replaces it.
Unlock Watch
Every row below is an unlock between now and mid-January 2027 that clears at least one of two bars: roughly $5M or more in value, or 4% or more of the supply actually trading. Smaller monthly drips are left off on purpose — they are plumbing, not events.
Monad (MON) — Tue, Nov 24, 2026: 16.61 billion tokens, about $284.8M, unlock at the team + investor cliff.
That is roughly 140% of the entire circulating supply (11.83B MON trading today, out of 100B total) becoming sellable on one date — more new sellable supply than the whole market float. Whatever MON does this month, it does it in front of that date.

Percentages are each source's share of currently released / circulating supply, priced at the November 5, 2026 check. ADI Chain's percentage is measured against the small float the exchanges quote (9.43M ADI); on the unlocked-supply basis CryptoRank uses, the same tranche measures about 7%.
Tracker disagreements
Token unlock data is messier than the calendar sites make it look. Where the sources we checked disagree, the table above picks one figure and this section tells you what the other one said:
LayerZero (ZRO) — Trackers split on the date: Tokenomist, CoinLaunch and CoinEdition say Nov 20; DefiLlama lists 23.63M ZRO on Nov 19. This table uses Nov 20 and 23.08M.
Hyperliquid (HYPE) — The vesting schedule shows 9.92M HYPE for Nov 6, but Hyperliquid Labs confirmed on Discord (Oct 28) that only 180,000 will be distributed to team members that day, and on-chain trackers recorded a matching 179,706 HYPE unstaking request. This table uses the 180,000.
Wormhole (W), Arbitrum (ARB), Sui (SUI) — On each Tokenomist page, the header and the FAQ name different recipients. This page uses the FAQ labels.
Plasma (XPL) — Tokenomist's FAQ points the whole Nov 25 tranche at Ecosystem & Growth; CoinLaunch's round-by-round breakdown splits it across ecosystem, team and investors. This table uses the CoinLaunch split.
Kinetiq (KNTQ) — No source publishes the first tranche's token count, so the count is blank here; the ~$6.1M value is Oak Research's figure.
Monad (MON) — CryptoRank calls the Nov 24 cliff team + investors; Tokenomist's header for the same date adds Category Labs Treasury. The size — 16.61B, about 140% of circulating — is not in dispute.
Pump.fun (PUMP) — CoinLaunch lists 6.88B PUMP per tranche; CoinDesk and KuCoin's Solana preview cite 6.77B. This table uses 6.88B.
Kite (KITE) — The Nov 3 cliff happened on schedule: the 12-month cliff on the team/adviser (20%) and investor (12%) allocations ended, and 3.2B KITE moved into a four-year linear vest (Kite's MiCA whitepaper, via Coinranking). What never settled is the size of the day-one release — the project published no official tranche figure, and tracker estimates ran from ~153M KITE (CoinLaunch) and ~203M (Blockworks) to Tokenomist's 640M (~$75.5M) and CryptoRank's ~$131.7M valuation. With no confirmed figure to print, the row has come off the upcoming table; what follows is a monthly linear drip, not another dated cliff.
Ethena (ENA) — Tokenomist's FAQ pointed the Nov 5 release at the Foundation, but its own header, CoinLaunch's vesting table and Bitrue's stream schedule all name Core Contributors for the 93.75M Nov 5 stream (the Foundation's separate 40.625M monthly stream falls on the 2nd). This table now uses Core Contributors. CoinDesk valued the event at $17.86M; at the Nov 5 check price the same 93.75M is $15.77M.
Pieverse (PIEVERSE) — Trackers split on the Nov 14 lock-up expiry: CoinMarketCap's unlock data puts the full release at ~86.4M tokens, while Tokenomics.com and Bitrue print 33.4M — a figure that matches just the investor + team/adviser share of the CoinMarketCap breakdown. This table uses the full ~86.4M.
Huma Finance (HUMA) — Gate put the Nov 26 unlock at 17.1% of circulating supply; Tokenomist puts the same 458.75M HUMA at 14.31% of released supply (and it is 26.5% of the smaller float CoinGecko quotes). This table uses Tokenomist's 14.31%.
How to read this
Cliff vs. linear. A cliff unlock releases a whole tranche on one date — nothing, nothing, nothing, then a wall of supply. Linear vesting drips tokens out day by day or month by month, which the market can absorb in smaller bites. Most rows above are cliffs or monthly tranches; the type is marked in each row.
Percent beats dollars. What presses on a price is new sellable supply relative to the supply already trading and the buyers actually present. That is why this table sorts its judgment by the "% of circulating" column, not the dollar column: 31% of circulating (Pieverse, Nov 14) is a bigger deal than several larger dollar figures on this page.
An unlock is not a sell order. Insiders can hold, stake, or sell over months — many do. But an unlock date is the first day they can sell, and for team and investor tranches bought at a fraction of today's price, the incentive is not subtle. The honest way to use this page: know the date, know the size, and never be surprised by either.
Who gets it matters. Community and ecosystem tranches tend to scatter across many wallets. Team and investor cliffs concentrate in a few. The "Goes to" column is there so you can tell the difference at a glance.
Unlock dates pair with the other half of the supply question — where a yield actually comes from. Both live in the Yield Calculator and the reviews linked across this site.
