SUI Tokens Unlocked This Week; Market Performance Remains Steady
According to on-chain data, the Sui (SUI) protocol completed a new round of token unlocking on August 1, 2026. This unlock released approximately 13.72 million SUI tokens, valued at approximately $9.76 million to $9.90 million at current market prices.These tokens were primarily allocated to early contributors (7.65 million), the community reserve (4 million), and the Mysten Labs treasury (2.07 million). This unlock represents approximately 0.34% of SUI’s current circulating supply.
SUI’s unlocking mechanism combines a portion of one-time unlocking (cliff vesting) with continuous daily linear unlocking, the latter of which helps spread potential selling pressure over a longer period.As of this writing, the price of SUI is fluctuating around $0.68, with no signs of a massive sell-off; $0.70 is viewed as a key support level. Although some analysts have pointed out that a continuously expanding circulating supply—especially when prices are well below historical highs—could impact market sentiment, this unlock has not triggered significant volatility.
JUP Token Has Completed All Unlocking Schedules
Regarding the Jupiter (JUP) token, it is important to note that its token unlock schedule concluded in 2026, and JUP tokens are now fully unlocked. This means there will be no further periodic token unlock events for JUP in the foreseeable future.Although Jupiter consistently released approximately 53,472,222 JUP tokens each month throughout 2026, these figures are now historical data. Investors no longer need to factor in future supply pressure from token unlocking when evaluating JUP.
FLOCK Tokens to Be Unlocked at the End of the Month
The next unlock for FLOCK tokens is scheduled for August 31, 2026. At that time, 16.34 million FLOCK tokens will be released, valued at approximately $461,880 based on current prices.These tokens will be allocated to the ecosystem (2.46 million), investors (6.79 million), and the team and advisors (7.08 million), representing approximately 1.6% of FLOCK’s total supply. FLOCK’s unlocking primarily follows a “cliff vesting” model, particularly for the community allocation portion.To date, approximately 43.34% of the total FLOCK supply has been unlocked.
Market Impact of Token Unlocking and Investor Considerations
Token unlocking is a common occurrence in the cryptocurrency market and typically triggers concerns about potential selling pressure. Large-scale token unlocking may increase short-term volatility and attract higher trading activity. However, unlocking does not necessarily lead to an immediate price decline; the market reaction depends on various factors:
- Scale and Proportion of Unlocking: The proportion of the unlocked quantity relative to the total supply or circulating supply.
- Recipient Categories: Whether tokens flow to early investors, the team, community reserves, or the treasury; different recipients may have varying propensities to sell.
- Type of Unlock: One-time “cliff unlocks” may create immediate market pressure, while “linear vesting” spreads the impact over time.
- Project Fundamentals: Tokens with strong fundamentals, an active ecosystem, and market demand typically see their new supply absorbed more easily by the market.
- Overall Market Sentiment: During a bull market, the impact of token unlocks may be offset by positive sentiment; during a bear market, it may exacerbate downward pressure.
When facing token unlock events, investors should comprehensively consider the above factors and monitor on-chain data—such as token inflows to exchanges and funding rates—to more thoroughly assess potential risks and opportunities.
