Brace Yourself—over $600M Worth of Tokens Are Unlocking This Week

From cliff-style unlocks that hit markets like a hammer to slow-drip linear releases that quietly suppress price momentum

This week is set to see over $600 million worth of tokens unlocking, either in one-time cliff releases or slowly over seven days.

For early investors, it’s payday. For traders, it’s a minefield. And if you’re holding any of these tokens, you need to read this before the next candlestick forms.

Every unlock is a liquidity event. When large volumes of previously locked tokens hit the market, especially from private rounds or team allocations, they often spark short-term selling pressure and weaken momentum—unless demand absorbs the shock.

Cliff unlocks = instant impact. Linear unlocks = slow bleed. Either way: ignore them at your own risk.

Top Cliff Unlocks (Mar 31–Apr 7)

These tokens face sudden large releases—expect elevated volatility and possible dumps:

Biggest Red Flag: $W Unlocking 46% of Its Locked Supply

This isn’t just a high unlock—it’s nearly half the supply. Unless buying pressure spikes, expect serious price instability.

Linear Unlocks: Slower, But Still Impactfl

Tokens unlocking gradually this week include:

Key Watchlist: WLD, TIA, and IP

These have higher unlock percentages, making them vulnerable to drift or dips without bullish catalysts.

How to Trade Around Unlocks

Short the hype → High cliff unlocks (like $W, $BIGTIME, $ENA) often see pre-dump selloffs

Buy the bleed → Linear unlocks (like $WLD, $TIA) can offer dip entries if fundamentals remain strong

Avoid thin liquidity → Illiquid tokens + large unlocks = whale playground

TL;DR – This Week’s Token Unlock Traps

Over $600M in unlocks scheduled from Mar 31–Apr 7

Biggest cliff risk: $W (46.27%) and BIGTIME (26.96%)

Most exposed linear unlocks: WLD, TIA, IP

Strategy: Front-run selloffs, track unlock percentages, and watch on-chain wallet activity

Final Take

Token unlocks aren't just a backend schedule—they're market-moving catalysts. Knowing who's cashing out, when, and how much, gives you an unfair advantage in volatile weeks like this.

Track them. Trade them. Or get blindsided.
