- Four tokens (ONDO, BGB, HYPE, TRUMP) are set to release nearly $2 billion, accounting for 35% of January’s $5.5 billion unlocks.
- January’s total splits into about $2.5 billion cliff unlocks and about $3.0 billion linear releases according to Tokenomics data.
Over $5.5 billion in crypto tokens is scheduled to unlock this month, market data platform Tokenomist reveals. The releases are dominated by Ondo (ONDO), the Bitget Token (BGB), Hyperliquid (HYPE), and Official Trump (TRUMP), which cumulatively account for about $1.94 billion, or roughly 35% of the month’s scheduled releases.
The latest data separates January unlocks into cliff events and linear releases. About $2.5 billion are listed as cliff unlocks, where allocations become available at once. Another $3 billion are planned as linear releases that distribute tokens gradually. Vesting schedules lock allocations and release them in stages for teams, investors, and community programs.
The latest unlocks follow an earlier CNF report that noted Tokenomist data showing 268 million dollars in token releases from December 22 to December 29. These previous unlocks included Dogecoin, Solana, and Avalanche.
