Major token unlocks totaling over $500 million are set to enter circulation between March 16 and March 23, with Solana (SOL), Arbitrum (ARB), and Worldcoin (WLD) among the assets facing significant vesting events during the period.
Cliff unlocks—where large token tranches release on a single date—will see ZRO leading with $55.53 million in newly available supply, followed by RIVER at $46.47 million and BARD at $35.03 million. Arbitrum faces a $10 million cliff unlock, while smaller projects including MBG, YZY, and KAITO will release between $6.45 million and $9.42 million each.
Linear unlocks—which distribute tokens gradually over set periods—present a broader supply pressure, with RAIN leading at $86.51 million, RIVER at $46.47 million, and Solana releasing $43.80 million in incremental allocations. Chainlink (CC), TRUMP, Worldcoin, Dogecoin (DOGE), Stargate (ASTER), and Bittensor (TAO) will also experience linear vesting events ranging from $7.13 million to $28.89 million.
Token unlocks can pressure prices if released tokens exceed natural demand, though the impact depends on market conditions and whether recipients are long-term holders or immediate sellers. Investors typically monitor unlock calendars to anticipate potential volatility in affected assets.
