SUI tops the list as $1.4 billion in tokens unlock this week

More than $1.4 billion in token unlocks hit the market during the week of January 26 to February 2, 2026, based on figures from CoinGecko. Sui takes the top spot by dollar value, trailed by a group of DeFi, layer-2, and AI projects. Of that total, $154.95 million arrives as cliff releases, which means those tokens enter circulation in single batches rather than a slow drip. SUI headlines this week’s token unlocks The Sui coin leads the pack with a massive $62.68 million release. However, although the figure is quite high, the supply will only get boosted by 1.14%, which means that the price impact is not expected to be significant. Sui implements a very long vesting schedule, and with each release, it unlocks some of the tokens owned by early investors, the team, and various community initiatives. Generally, such an event is monitored by traders who are looking for sell signals. With the release being equal to only a little over 1% of the supply, one should expect very few impacts on the chart. $1.4 Billion in Token Unlocks This Week Total cliff unlock, unlocked immediately after a set period, is $154.95M this week: • sui:native $62.68M • ethereum:0xec53bf9167f50cdeb3ae105f56099aaab9061f83 $11.82M • base:0x868fced65edbf0056c4163515dd840e9f287a4c3 $11.72M •… pic.twitter.com/S9JllDGlqj — Cryptopolitan (@CPOfficialtx) July 6, 2026 Mid-sized releases from EigenCloud, Sign, Kamino, and Jupiter Four other projects are grouped in the $10 million to $12 million range under Sui. EigenCloud token has an issuance of $11.82 million, making up 6.71% of its total circulation. This project takes the middle ground within this grouping based on these two metrics. Sign is just slightly under at $11.72 million. Sign accounts for 17.61% of the total supply, the highest on the list. Kamino adds $10.51 million, or 6.12% of supply, and Jupiter closes the group at $10.15 million, worth 3.95%. For Sign holders, the percentage is the figure to watch. The dollar amount looks modest next to Sui, but the supply impact runs far heavier. Smaller token unlocks close out the week The bottom half of the token unlocking list is made up of tokens starting from Optimism and finishing with Gunz. The largest sum of money – $9.15 million which is 1.62% of supply is released by Optimism. Next on the list is Ethena which releases $6.73 million that makes a mere 0.56% of supply. Further comes Sahara AI with $5.54 million and a significant 8.30% of supply. ZetaChain follows with $3.47 million that equals to 2.10% and last but not least Gunz releases $2.63 million which is 5.70% of its supply. However, dollar amounts tell us only part of the story. Ethena releases the largest sum of money despite the fact that it affects the smallest amount of supply.
