September will bring nearly $4.5 billion worth of vested tokens into circulation as multiple crypto projects reach their unlock schedules, data from Tokenomist shows. Of this, around $1.17 billion will come from cliff unlocks — large, one-time releases — while $3.36 billion will be distributed through linear unlocks, which spread issuance more gradually.
Sui will lead September’s unlocks with over $153 million in tokens hitting the market, followed by Fasttoken with $90 million. Aptos is set to release close to $50 million, while Arbitrum will free up about $48 million in tokens.
Cliff unlocks are often viewed as more disruptive since they can inject sudden liquidity and create supply shocks. In contrast, linear unlocks tend to smooth out market effects by releasing tokens steadily.
Observers note that these unlocks could put downward pressure on prices, depending on investor selling activity, while also offering liquidity to project teams and early backers.
