Between August 25-31, cryptocurrency markets will experience $998 million worth of token unlocks, with $185 million coming from one-time cliff unlocks and $813 million from linear daily releases. Major unlocks include Sui ($161M), Filecoin ($156M weekly), Solana ($104M weekly), and Optimism ($24M). The influx of new tokens is already impacting prices, with Huma Finance hitting all-time lows and several other tokens showing significant declines. Market analysts are particularly watching Solana and Dogecoin, with SOL rising 10% recently despite BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes favoring Ethereum, while DOGE forms a symmetrical triangle pattern that could lead to either a rally to $0.31 or a drop to $0.19 depending on breakout direction.
