Crypto market to unlock $4.5B in tokens in September

About $1.17 billion will be released through cliff unlocks, while $3.36 billion will come from linear unlocks in September.

Crypto projects are set to unlock about $4.5 billion in vested tokens in September, according to data tracker Tokenomist. 

Tokenomist data shows that about $1.17 billion will come from cliff unlocks, while $3.36 billion will be released through linear unlocks. About $4.5 billion in tokens will become available to investors, project teams and other stakeholders as vesting agreements expire. 

Cliff unlocks are typically larger, one-time token releases that happen at the end of a specified lockup period. This often affects the market more due to supply shocks. On the other hand, linear unlocks distribute tokens over time, which helps smooth out the impact on the supply.
