Over $1.4 billion in token unlocks set for the week, led by Sui’s $62.68 million event

According to CoinGecko data, more than $1.4 billion worth of tokens will be unlocked across the cryptocurrency market during the week of January 26 to February 2, 2026. Of this amount, $154.95 million will come from cliff unlocks, where a large batch of tokens enters circulation all at once rather than through gradual distribution. Sui prepares for the week’s largest unlock The most significant unlock of the week is expected from Sui, with tokens worth $62.68 million about to be released. Despite this large figure, the event will increase the circulating supply by only 1.14%, suggesting that the price impact could remain minimal. Sui employs a long-term vesting schedule, which means that with each unlock, certain tokens allocated to early investors, the team, and community initiatives gradually become available for trading. As a layer-1 blockchain operating on its own network, Sui’s token unlocks are closely monitored by the market as a gauge for potential sell pressure. However, when the new issuance represents a small fraction of total supply, it often results in negligible pressure on the charts. While Sui stands out with a $62.68 million token unlock, the increase in circulating supply is just 1.14%, so any price impact is expected to be limited. Medium-sized unlocks: Sign’s supply jump stands out Four projects are next in line for weekly unlocks valued between $10 million and $12 million. EigenCloud will release $11.82 million in tokens, amounting to 6.71% of its total supply. Sign will see $11.72 million unlocked. Sign’s unlock is especially notable for its high supply ratio: the newly released tokens represent 17.61% of the total supply—the highest on this week’s list. Kamino will free up $10.51 million (6.12% of its supply), while Jupiter’s $10.15 million unlock makes up 3.95%. While Sui leads in dollar value, Sign could have a bigger relative impact due to its supply jump.

Ethena is next with a $6.73 million unlock, though this equates to a modest 0.56% impact on its circulating supply. Sahara AI plans a $5.54 million unlock, equal to 8.30% of its total supply—making it proportionally significant. ZetaChain will unlock $3.47 million (2.10%), and Gunz will add $2.63 million worth of tokens, increasing its supply by 5.70%. As these examples illustrate, dollar amounts alone do not always tell the full story; sometimes, a smaller unlock can generate a stronger impact on supply dynamics. Market impact: Supply ratio is more critical than amount Ultimately, the most important factor in token unlocks is the proportion of new supply entering circulation and the distribution method.
