The cryptocurrency market braces for a significant liquidity injection as multiple high-profile token unlock events prepare to release nearly $330 million worth of digital assets into circulation. Traders are closely monitoring these scheduled releases, fully aware that they could cause significant volatility in the prices of the token.
One of the biggest unlocks centers on the TRUMP token, which dumps 50.70 million tokens into the market on January 18, 2026. This single unlock represents 5.07% of the total supply and carries an estimated value of $267.82 million—over a quarter of the token’s market cap at 25.35%. The TRUMP token operates as a digital asset tied to political branding, though what it actually does beyond that remains pretty murky.
Daily TRUMP Releases Keep Coming
After the massive January 18 unlock, TRUMP holders aren’t out of the woods. Starting January 19 and running through January 23, the market has to digest daily unlocks of 909,465 TRUMP tokens. Each release represents 0.09% of total supply and runs about $4.80 million, or 0.45% of market cap. Spreading it across five days instead of one massive dump might keep sellers from completely torpedoing the price, but there’s no guarantee.
ZRO and PLUME Add to the Mix
LayerZero’s ZRO token will unlock 24.68 million tokens on 20 January. This distribution accounts for 2.47% of ZRO’s total supply and is worth $42.60 million, making up 12.18% of its market cap. LayerZero helps in interoperability for various blockchains. In other words, it lets different blockchains talk to each other and shuffle assets around.
PLUME has its unlock on January 21, dropping 239.65 million tokens worth roughly $4.08 million. That’s 2.40% of total supply and 7.18% of market cap. The token count looks huge, but the dollar value seems fairly modest, suggesting either PLUME is still finding its footing or the token price has taken some serious hits. The project operates as a real-world asset blockchain platform that focuses on tokenizing tangible assets and bringing traditional finance products onto the blockchain.
Market analysts expect heightened volatility throughout the week as these tokens flood into trading pools. Whether the projects can keep their price stability will depend mainly on demand holding up against the sudden supply surge.
