A number of high-profile projects are set for single-token unlocks, each worth over $5 million. Among them are FTN, QAI, OM, ZKJ, ID, MELANIA, IMX, APE, and MURA. These kinds of releases tend to attract investor attention because of their potential effect on liquidity and price volatility.

SOL, WLD, TIA, DOGE, OM, TAO, AVAX, SUI, JTO, NEAR, DOT, IP, and FIL. Those are some of the projects that will release more than $1 million in tokens on a daily basis.

Market Implications
With the total value unlocked in excess of $486 million, investors are paying close attention to possible market fluctuations. Large token unlocks have, in the past, been correlated with short-term price drops, especially if most of the tokens released are sold at once. But releases can also be seen as good signs of project growth and development, depending on the purpose for which they are intended.
With major DeFi and Layer 1 blockchain initiatives participating, the unlocks this week may influence near-term market mood and trading direction. Investors are cautioned to watch closely and consider how these events fit into wider market trends.
