Token unlock schedules represent critical moments in cryptocurrency markets, as vested tokens enter circulation from teams, investors, and ecosystem reserves. For the week of March 9-15, 2026, data captured at 06:13 AM UTC on March 9 reveals 38 projects releasing a combined value exceeding $4.5 billion USD.
Dominant Releases Lead the Week
The single largest unlock comes from WBT, valued at $4.34 billion when priced at $53.25 per token. CONX follows at $15 million ($11.34 price, $30.61 million market cap, 85.95% released), establishing itself as the clear second-place among the 38 tokens. APT unlocks $10.56 million ($0.933 price, $729.19 million cap, 63.44% released), while ARB contributes $8.80 million ($0.095 price, $562.04 million cap, 51.98% released).
STRK ($4.85 million), LINEA ($4.24 million), SEI ($3.49 million), and MOVE ($3.38 million) round out the top eight, capturing virtually all non-WBT value and highlighting infrastructure-heavy exposure in the week’s lineup.

Mid-Range Events Add Steady Pressure
CHEEL leads this tier at $2.56 million (price $0.399, 77.49% supply released). IO releases $1.35 million ($0.102 price, $30.40 million cap, 37.98% released), closely followed by ME at $1.18 million ($0.11 price, $47.17 million cap) and PEAQ at $1.15 million ($0.014 price, $25.95 million cap, 35.83% released).
CYBER ($737.67K, $0.832 price, $47.41 million cap, 64.18% released), AGI ($787.17K, $0.011 price, $27.40 million caFORTp), WCT ($712.01K, $0.056 price), FORT ($669.44, $0.013 price), and PUFFER ($544.52K with notably low 17.44% prior release) complete this balanced segment.
Projects in this range often fund protocol upgrades or partnerships, with their unlocks signaling predictable vesting completion rather than unexpected dilution, a trend frequently highlighted in Tokenomist unlock tracking.
Extensive Small-Cap Schedule
The majority of the tokens carry values under $500K, creating numerous micro-events with potential for localized volatility in thinner markets. MLK tops this group at $98.54K ($0.051 price, $27.46 million cap, 77.12% released).
GODS ($85.70K, 80.56% released), SVL ($75.89K, 86.09% released), HOOK ($81.54K, 68.67% released), and GAL ($151.42K, 88.33% released approaching full circulation) lead the pack.
ACE ($253.43K), TRIBL ($428.44K against $682.22 million cap), NAVX ($26.12K), CXT ($40.70K), COPI ($45.24K), and AERO ($70.1K, $0.317 price, $292.88 million cap) provide further examples of sub-$500K diversity across the 38.
Micro-unlocks include VRTX ($936.16, $0.000117 price), TRUF ($18.93K), CYPR ($24.28K), DCB ($12.73K, 91.93% released), HTM ($5.74K), GSWIFT ($4.32K), NYAN ($1.12K, $0.000568 price), and DCK ($1.94K, 93.47% released the highest maturity rate listed).
Full Spectrum of Market Metrics
Token prices span five orders of magnitude, from WBT’s $53.25 down to VRTX’s $0.000117 and TRIBL’s 4.5e-05. Mid-spectrum examples include AERO ($0.317) and NYAN ($0.000568).
Market capitalizations stretch from $11.37 billion (WBT) to $61.83K (VRTX), with established names like APT ($729.19M), ARB ($562.04M), and SEI ($422.96M) contrasting smaller profiles like DCB ($629.93K) and NYAN ($83.32K).
Released percentages average approximately 65% across the 38, ranging from early-stage PUFFER (17.44%) and STRK (28.85%) to near-complete DCK (93.47%), DCB (91.93%), and GAL (88.33%). This distribution indicates mostly mature vesting schedules with tail-end releases.
Quantifying Market Impact
The $4.5 billion+ total across 38 unlocks translates to roughly 0.04% of estimated $30 trillion+ crypto market capitalization, suggesting contained global influence. However, individual impacts differ sharply WBT faces potential 38% circulating supply addition against its $11.37 billion cap.
Market participants often track these events through tokenomics vesting updates, which provide insight into how scheduled supply releases may influence liquidity, investor sentiment, and short-term price volatility. Tokens with lower prior releases (STRK 28.85%, LINEA 34.08%, MOVE 31.79%) introduce relatively larger supply increments. High-release projects (SVL 86.09%, GODS 80.56%, TRIBL 87.03%) contribute final scheduled portions with muted surprise factor.
Layer-1 blockchains (APT, ARB, SEI, STRK) and DeFi protocols (LINEA, AERO) dominate the upper ranks, while gaming, infrastructure, and utility tokens fill the 38-token roster.
Data Integrity and Monitoring
The precise tally of 38 tokens releasing over $4.5 billion positions this week as notably active, though WBT’s dominance concentrates attention. Diversified monitoring across Layer-1s, DeFi, and niche ecosystems captures the full scope of supply dynamics.
