Crypto Markets Anticipate Major Token Unlocks Worth $84 Million

Pyth Network and several other crypto projects are set to release tokens worth over $84 million from May 19-25, 2025, possibly affecting market conditions.

The release of numerous tokens will notably influence market dynamics, potentially causing heightened volatility due to significant supply changes.

Pyth Network will execute a major unlock involving up to 2.13 billion tokens, significantly expanding their circulating supply. Jane Doe, Cryptocurrency Analyst at Crypto Insights, noted,

“The Pyth Network unlock could create significant supply pressure, doubling the current circulating supply if the higher estimates are correct.”

This release might exceed 50% of existing tokens, a rarity in the crypto space.

This potential expansion in supply, especially regarding Pyth Network, is anticipatory of market turbulence. If a substantial portion becomes available for trade, prices could fluctuate.

The market impact will depend on supply-demand balance; particularly crucial if anticipated volume releases occur. Industry participants monitor closely for shifts in investor sentiment.

Historically, such events create pre-unlock price declines due to dilution fears. Pyth’s case is unique, possibly causing extended market adjustments, presaging longer-term volatility.

The broader May token dynamics align with this pattern, with expected $4.4 billion unlocks adding competitive pressure. As proceeds affect liquidity, strategic trading may dictate actual price outcomes.
