Last week, the cryptocurrency market saw a whirlwind of activity. Bitcoin (BTC) nearly touched its all-time high at $73,620 before sliding back to $68,500, a move that rippled across the market, affecting many altcoin prices. Celestia (TIA), in particular, made headlines with an $839 million token unlock, which sent its price down 13% over the past week to $4.55.
This week, the market is eyeing another wave of unlocks, with Ethena (ENA), Eigenlayer (EIGEN), and Xai (XAI) collectively releasing over $46 million worth of tokens. According to Tokenomist, these token unlocks, scheduled between November 4 and November 10, could influence the circulating supply and price action for these projects.
Key Token Unlocks to Watch
1. Ethena (ENA) – November 6
Ethena, a re-staking platform, is set to unlock 12.86 million ENA tokens valued at $4.73 million, representing 0.47% of its circulating supply. These tokens will be distributed to the community, which could lead to fluctuations in price based on market demand.
2. EigenLayer (EIGEN) – November 5
Another re-staking platform, EigenLayer, plans to release 1.29 million EIGEN tokens worth approximately $3.57 million. This release, representing 0.69% of Eigen’s circulating supply, is expected to slightly impact the token’s liquidity and potentially its price.
3. Xai (XAI) – November 9
Xai, a pioneer in Layer 3 technology for indie gaming, will unlock 35.88 million XAI tokens, valued at around $7.14 million. This release amounts to 4.9% of XAI’s circulating supply, which is a larger percentage than ENA and EIGEN, making it a more significant event that could have notable price implications.
Other Notable Token Unlocks
- Cardano (ADA): Set to unlock tokens worth $6.32 million on November 6, amounting to 0.05% of its circulating supply.
- Neon EVM (NEON): A significant unlock is scheduled for November 7, with $20.85 million worth of NEON tokens being released—equivalent to 44.92% of its circulating supply, which could cause volatility.
This influx of tokens could increase supply-side pressure on each project’s market price. Investors and traders will be closely monitoring the market this week to see how these releases impact token prices and overall market sentiment.
