• PUMP and APT follow, releasing $29.61M and $19.88M in tokens, respectively.
• LINEA, MOVE, MOCA, and BB have mid-range unlocks totaling $23.74M in value.

Global crypto markets are pricing in a massive liquidity expansion this week, with more than $620 million in scheduled token releases set to execute between December 8 and December 14. 

Data from CryptoRank shows that seven projects account for the largest share of new supply, led by STABLE, which has the single biggest unlock of the period.

STABLE Listing Triggers $566 Million Liquidity Injection

STABLE will unlock 18 billion tokens on December 8, worth an estimated $566.38 million based on pre-market valuation. 

This event marks the protocol’s Token Generation Event (TGE) rather than a standard vesting cliff, representing 18% of the total supply. Traders are monitoring whether this initial float will result in robust liquidity or immediate sell-side pressure.

Vesting Cliffs: PUMP and Aptos (APT) Next on the Docket

PUMP will unlock 10 billion tokens valued at $29.61 million on December 14. Aptos (APT) will release 11.31 million tokens worth $19.88 million on December 12. APT’s unlock accounts for just under 1% of its total supply.

Mid-Range Unlocks From LINEA, MOVE, MOCA, and BB

Other projects scheduled for notable releases include LINEA, MOVE, MOCA, and BounceBit (BB).

• LINEA will unlock 1.02 billion tokens worth $8.16 million.
• MOVE will release 161.8 million tokens valued at $7.15 million.
• MOCA will unlock 202.3 million tokens worth $4.43 million.
• BB will add 44.7 million tokens to circulation, valued at $4.04 million.

Daily Linear Unlocks Add Steady Supply

Some projects release tokens through daily linear unlocks. This process spreads the supply impact over time. Solana (SOL), Trump (TRUMP), Worldcoin (WLD), Dogecoin (DOGE), Aster, Avalanche (AVAX), and TAO fall into this group.

SOL leads the week with a release valued at more than $64 million. DOGE, WLD, and AVAX also have steady unlocks. While these releases are slower, the combined supply entering the market can still influence price trends during the week.

Could Unlocks Shake Crypto Market?

While some see the fresh liquidity as a push for the wider altcoin market, others warn it could trigger sharp volatility. Crypto users are divided. One social media user wrote, “With a $566M unlock, the dump seems obvious. And that’s exactly why it’s dangerous.”
