Crypto Alert: Heavy Unlock Week After Eid

Token unlocks for this week.

The cryptocurrency market is in for a busy stretch. Between March 22 and March 27, 2026, several major projects are set to release tens of millions of tokens into open circulation, with the combined value crossing $70 million. For anyone holding these assets, that is a number worth paying attention to.

River sees 356,720 tokens hit the market on March 22. It is a financial services platform built specifically around Bitcoin that lets individuals and institutions buy, hold, and move it securely. The release is worth around $9.32 million and equals 1.82% of its market cap.

Following this, CRTR unlocks 19.79 million tokens on March 23. The platform connects digital creators directly with their audiences using tokenized rewards. The release is only worth $811,656, but it accounts for 5.65% of the project’s market cap—a meaningful dilution for smaller holders.

WLD Leads the Week With Daily Drip

Worldcoin is running the longest streak on the calendar. The project, which scans users’ irises to confirm they are real human beings and rewards them with cryptocurrency for doing so, is dropping 5.02 million WLD tokens every day from March 22 straight through to March 27. Each daily release is worth around $1.59 million and is 0.05% of the total supply. Add it all up, and the project pushes nearly $9.54 million worth of tokens into the market over six days. No single drop is dramatic, but the consistency keeps the pressure alive.

The biggest single event of the week belongs to GT, the native token of Gate.io—one of the largest centralized crypto exchanges in the world, where users trade, earn fee discounts, and participate in platform decisions. On March 26, Gate.io unlocks 6.67 million GT tokens in one go. At a value of approximately $44.87 million, the unlock represents 5.79% of GT’s total market capitalization in a single day.

Smaller Unlocks, Bigger Relative Impact

Not every unlock needs a massive dollar figure to move markets. On March 25, the H token—which powers a blockchain infrastructure network built for developers needing decentralized computing and storage—releases 131.22 million tokens worth about $12.51 million. The dollar amount looks manageable, but at 7.19% of its market cap, it carries the heaviest relative weight of anything on this week’s schedule.

Token unlocks do not always crash prices. But they do add sell pressure, and this week there is plenty of it. Spread across daily drips, one giant single-day drop, and a few smaller releases that hit harder than their dollar value suggests. If you are holding any of these assets, the percentage figures matter just as much as the headline numbers.
