Crypto Token Unlocks This Week: PUMP, HYPE and APT Lead More Than $200.53M in Scheduled Releases

More than $200.53 million worth of cryptocurrency tokens are scheduled to enter circulation between July 6 and July 12, making it one of the largest weekly vesting periods this month. The upcoming releases are led by PUMP, HYPE, and Aptos (APT), with PUMP alone accounting for over $134 million in scheduled unlocks. As new tokens become transferable, market participants will be watching whether the additional supply affects liquidity and short-term price action across the affected assets.

The scheduled releases come as investors continue to monitor token emissions more closely following several high-profile vesting events earlier this year. Although token unlocks increase circulating supply, analysts generally view them as one component of a project’s tokenomics rather than a standalone indicator of future price performance. Whether newly unlocked tokens enter the market immediately depends on the recipients, vesting structure and broader market conditions.

PUMP dominates this week’s unlock schedule

PUMP is set to record the largest scheduled release of the week, with approximately $134.86 million worth of tokens becoming available. Based on current figures, the project has already released 43% of its total supply, making this one of its most significant vesting events in Token Unlocks in July 2026.

The second-largest scheduled unlock belongs to HYPE, with $32.40 million in planned releases. Despite the sizeable dollar value, Hyperliquid’s large market capitalization means the unlock represents only a relatively small increase in circulating supply compared with many smaller-cap projects.

APT ranks third with an unlock worth $7.80 million, followed by RED ($4.16 million), LINEA ($2.68 million), IO ($2.44 million) and CHEEL ($2.37 million).

Together, these projects account for the overwhelming majority of this week’s scheduled unlock value.

Why Circulating Supply Matters More Than Unlock Value

While headline unlock values often attract the most attention, professional investors frequently compare each release against the token’s existing circulating supply and market capitalization.

Several projects on this week’s schedule, including NYM (91.08% released), NAVX (88.79%), SVL (88.21%), UXLINK (86.41%) and IOTA (85.70%), have already distributed most of their token supply. Additional unlocks for these assets may have a smaller dilution effect than similarly sized releases from projects still in earlier vesting phases.

By contrast, projects such as BABY (22.14% released), PUFFER (25.19%), MOVE (38.38%), LINEA (41.33%), RED (41.66%) and SXT (42.81%) remain relatively early in their vesting cycles, meaning future scheduled emissions could continue increasing circulating supply over the coming months.

What traders will watch this week

Rather than reacting solely to the value of an unlock, market participants are expected to monitor several factors that historically have influenced post-unlock price action:

• The size of the unlock relative to circulating supply.
• Daily trading volume and available market liquidity.
• The destination of unlocked allocations, including investors, core contributors or ecosystem funds.
• Overall crypto market sentiment during the vesting period.

Historical token unlocks have shown that many scheduled releases are anticipated well in advance, allowing markets to price in part of the expected supply increase before the unlock date arrives. As a result, actual trading activity after the release often provides a clearer signal than the unlock announcement itself.

With PUMP, HYPE and APT leading this week’s vesting calendar, investors are likely to watch whether the additional supply is absorbed by market demand or contributes to short-term volatility across the broader digital asset market. These tokenomics vesting updates will also provide insight into how scheduled token emissions influence market behavior during the current vesting cycle.
