12 Altcoin Token Unlocks Could Add $276M in Supply
About $275.9 million in token unlocks is scheduled across 12 altcoins from November 2 to 8, 2026, with times listed in UTC+3. The latest schedule names Bitway (BTW) as the largest release at $112.07 million on November 2, followed by Kite (KITE) at $96.56 million on November 3. Kite’s unlock is reported as 30.45% of its stated market value. Stable (STABLE) is scheduled to unlock $23.28 million on November 8, while Ethena (ENA) has a $17.72 million unlock listed for November 2.
The schedule also includes Quack AI (Q), DoubleZero (2Z), Impossible Cloud Network (ICNT), Lagrange (LA), Momentum (MMT), Succinct (PROVE), Power Protocol (POWER) and GoldFinger (GF). Lagrange’s $1.68 million unlock is equivalent to 15.04% of its market value. An earlier report gave different estimates for several unlocks, including BTW, KITE and ENA, and said ENA had releases on both November 2 and 5. It also cited an AVAX unlock on November 8, which is not included in the later 12-token schedule. The later figures should be treated as the updated schedule, while the discrepancy remains unclear.
Token unlocks increase the amount of a token that may become tradable and can weigh on prices if recipients sell. The size of an unlock relative to market value, alongside price action, trading volume and exchange liquidity, may help traders assess short-term pressure. However, the schedule does not indicate whether recipients will sell, so token unlocks alone do not confirm selling or predict a price move.
Bearish
The planned token unlocks are a near-term potential headwind for the affected assets because newly available tokens can increase tradable supply. The largest releases, particularly BTW and KITE, may draw greater trader attention, and a large unlock relative to market value—such as the reported 30.45% for KITE—could amplify concern about dilution or selling. Traders may watch for price weakness, rising volume and changes in exchange liquidity around the release dates.
The impact is not certain: an unlock does not mean recipients will sell, and the schedule does not provide details on recipient behavior or market demand. If tokens are retained or absorbed by buyers, the price effect may be limited. Over the longer term, unlocks can be anticipated and priced in, while fundamentals and broader market conditions may matter more. Overall, the supply increase creates a bearish risk for the named tokens, but the news alone is not proof of an impending sell-off.
