Token Unlocks Worth Watching: Avalanche, Aptos, and Sui Set to Release $500M+ in Tokens

The end of 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal time for several major crypto projects as scheduled token unlocks worth over $500 million will hit the market in November–December.

Projects like Avalanche (AVAX), Aptos (APT), and Sui (SUI) are among the largest unlocks expected, each releasing tens of millions of tokens into circulation. According to TokenUnlocks data, these releases represent between 3–9% of total supply per project — enough to influence short-term price action.

Why It Matters

Unlock events often trigger temporary price dips as early investors and team members gain liquidity. But they also bring more tokens into circulation, boosting market depth and potential staking activity.

For example:

• AVAX will unlock ≈ 9.5 million AVAX (~$330 M).
• APT unlock ≈ 25 million APT (~$150 M).
• SUI unlock ≈ 70 million SUI (~$80 M).

How Xoibit Users Can Prepare

• Use price alerts to monitor unlock dates.
• Consider setting staggered orders to capture volatility.
• Avoid panic selling — history shows markets often rebound within weeks post-unlock as liquidity stabilises.

Takeaway

Token unlocks can cause turbulence but also opportunity. For long-term investors, these events signal project maturity as tokens migrate toward wider community ownership.
