Token Lockup unlocking involves releasing Token that were previously locked under the terms of a fundraising. Projects carefully schedule these releases to avoid market pressure and prevent Token prices from falling.
However, factors such as lack of liquidation or investors taking profits early can have a significant impact on the asset's momentum. Here are three key unlocking projects to watch next week.
XAI (XAI)

- Number of Token unlocked: 35.88 million XAI
- Current Circulating Supply: 572.10 Million XAI
On September 9, the project will unlock 35.88 million XAI Token and distribute them to the team, investors, reserves, and the wider ecosystem.
Aptos (APT)
- Unlock Date: September 11
- Number of Token unlocked: 11.31 million APT
- Current Circulating Supply: 486.98 Million APT
On September 11, the project will distribute 11.31 million APT Token to community members, core contributors, and investors.
Stark Network (STRK)
- Unlock Date: September 15
- Number of Token unlocked: 64 million STARK

On August 15, the project will unlock 64 million STRK, distributing it to investors and early contributors.
Other unlocks this week include io.net (IO), Ethena (ENA), Cyber (CYBER), and Render (RNDR), with a total value exceeding $114 million. While many view unlocks as pessimistic, a well-planned schedule can strengthen a project’s long-term viability. Aligned with milestones and development progress, unlocks motivate team members, drive community engagement, and foster ecosystem growth.
