GoPlus Security (GPS) is approaching an upcoming release of 166.44 million GPS tokens valued at $1.44 million, which is 1.66% of the total locked supply. 1.35 million tokens, or 1.35% of the total locked supply, are scheduled for release at $374,756 for Hyperion (RION).

Project Merlin (MRLN) and Snapmuse (SMX) are also getting close to their unlock milestones. What this week’s token unlock schedule means for markets There is a direct reason why cliff unlocks draw more attention than linear releases. A sudden, one-time rise in the circulating supply lets people who already own the coin or who invested early sell right away. This can lower the price if a lot of people want to sell around the unlock date. Linear unlocks spread that pressure out over time, which usually makes the market less affected right away. Projects like SOL and DOGE, which already have a lot of coins in circulation, can handle linear releases with only small percentage changes. Smaller projects that have higher unlock percentages compared to the circulating supply are in a different situation. Still letting the bank keep the best part?
