bullish month for the crypto industry, a series of token unlocks
set to take place this month is now threatening this bullish
momentum. With around $200 million in various altcoins expected to

short-lived. $200 Million In Crypto Being Unlocked Token tracking

$18 A screenshot shared by Wu Blockchain on X (formerly Twitter)
showed a list of tokens expecting large crypto unlocks in October,
as well as the percentage of supply they represent and their
equivalent dollar value. The first on the list is SUI. SUI’s
upcoming token unlock is by no means the largest on the list. But
it is significant and will be the first to take place this month.
Set to happen on October 3, 34.62 million SUI tokens (4.37% of
supply) worth $17.11 million will flow into the open market.
Following this just a couple of days later on October 7 is the
Immutable X (IMX) token unlock. This unlock will see another 1.55%
of the total supply (18.08 million tokens) worth $10.91 million
unlocked. Aptos follows five days later on October 12 with 4.54
million APT tokens accounting for 1.91% of supply and worth $25.81
million. Crypto token unlocks for October | Source: X ApeCoin’s

This represents 4.23% of supply and is worth $19.50 million; the
third-lowest of the bunch. The highest on the list in terms of
dollar figures is the Axie Infinity token unlock. This crypto
unlock will happen toward the end of the month on October 20, with
15.13 million tokens representing 11.50% of the total AXS supply.
The dollar value of these tokens is $71.24 million going by current
prices. Related Reading: What Is Behind The 16% PEPE Price Recovery
And Will It Continue? Last but not least, is another Optimism OP
token unlock. It is slated for October 30 and 24.16 million tokens,
similar to previous unlocks, will be brought into circulation. This
translates to 3.03% of supply with a dollar value of $35.03
million. In total, 31 crypto projects have scheduled token unlocks
for the month of October. Other notable but smaller unlocks include
DYDX’s $4.51 million unlock, CYBER’s $6.87 million unlock, FLOW’s
$3.44 million unlock, and Space ID’s $3.98 million token unlock.
