Large Token Unlocks Predicted in Solana DeFi Ecosystem

Token Unlocks data reveals significant token releases next week for JUP, KMNO, HUMA, and other tokens, impacting a portion of current supply and market valuation.

These unlocks could influence market liquidity and price movement, with previous similar events showing potential short-lived price declines.

Token Unlocks to Impact Liquidity and Circulating Supply

Prominent Solana DeFi tokens, including Jupiter (JUP) and Kamino (KMNO), are scheduled for large-scale unlocks in late August 2025, potentially shaking the market. Jupiter will unlock 53.47 million tokens, representing 1.78% of its supply, while Kamino will release 229 million tokens, comprising 6.81% of its supply. Each of these events forms part of their initial roadmaps as stated by their leaders, maintaining trust and transparency within the community.

As the market absorbs these token releases, impacts are expected in the form of potential price fluctuations. Large unlocks like Huma Finance’s 23.38% of supply draw attention due to their size and possible market implications.

General market sentiment remains cautious, with key figures reinforcing transparency. “No hidden unlocks—our contracts and schedules are public,” remarked Marius Ciubotariu, CEO of Kamino. Such statements aim to mitigate investor apprehensions regarding these unlock events.

Short-Term Volatility Expected from August 2025 Unlock Events

Did you know? Previous 1% token unlocks in the Solana ecosystem, like February 2024’s release, resulted in immediate yet brief price drops, followed by rapid liquidity recovery.

Jupiter’s (JUP) market data reveals a current price of $0.51, with a market cap of $1.56 billion and a trading volume spike of 16.01% within the last 24 hours according to CoinMarketCap. Despite a recent 1.85% decline, the token’s 60-day increase of 24.33% suggests potential buyer confidence amid impending unlocks.

Experts suggest that the market may brace for short-term volatility as these unlock events progress. Historical trends imply a pattern of immediate price drops followed by recovery phases, especially in protocols with robust vesting transparency and community trust.
