AI, memes and depin tokens are set for major unlocks
Overall, the AI sector will release the maximum amount and unlock a total of $3.4 billion tokens. This release peaked in October. The largest allocation of AI tokens is $1.29 billion, or WLD tokens, which account for around 37% of AI. Unlocking Tao and Grass results in a release of tokens of approximately 11.6% (equivalent to $427 million) and 68.2% (equivalent to $410 million) respectively. The rise of AI-related tokens is expected to affect the overall market.
A total of $2.8 billion meme tokens could be released in the near future. The biggest release comes in July, with $Trump Tokens making up 72.5% of these locks.
Doge and Melania will make token releases, but the attention is primarily limited to $Trump.
More than $1.38 billion in tokens have been released in the Depin sector, with October being the least locked. The majority of Depin’s emissions come from Tao and Grass. TAO unlocks $427 million (11.6%) worth of tokens, while Grass unlocks about $410 million (68.2%) worth. The effect of such token releases could lead to market fluctuations, particularly in October.
Social Fee Set for RWA, Liquid Staking, and Major Token Unlock
The RWA sector will unlock $304 million worth of tokens. ZBCN, usually OM, is expected to dominate this field. November is the month in which demand is the highest. Liquid Restaking is expected to see an increase of $665 million in November, led by Ethfi’s $303 million release, making it worth most of its value.
At its peak in August, more than $1.15 billion in tokens will be released from Liquid Staking. ENA has the largest share in the industry, worth $484 million, according to forecasts. Layer 2 is set to unleash $1.27 billion, led by a big push from the ARB and OP. The SocialFi sector is on track with a massive $1.26 billion release, with Cheel and Conx on the forefront. IMX is expected to lead a $520 million decline in game sales.
Unlocking these tokens will make the crypto market even more unstable, bringing both opportunities and risk. The impact on the market will shape future trends over the coming months.
