During the week of January 26 to February 2, 2026, tokens with a total value of more than $1.4 billion will enter the market. This data is provided by CoinGecko.
SUI leads in terms of upcoming unlock volume. Next are projects from the DeFi, Layer 2, and artificial intelligence sectors.
Of the total amount, about $154.95 million is accounted for by so-called cliff unlocks. In this case, the entire volume of tokens is released into circulation at once, rather than distributed gradually.
SUI Tops the List of the Week’s Largest Unlocks
The largest unlock this week is expected from SUI. Tokens worth approximately $62.68 million will enter circulation.
Despite the impressive amount, the supply will increase by only 1.14%. Therefore, analysts do not expect significant price pressure for now.

Sui has a long-term vesting schedule. With each new unlock, a portion of tokens is received by early investors, the project team, and participants in various ecosystem development programs.
Such events traditionally attract the attention of traders who monitor for potential increases in selling. However, in this case, the volume of new tokens is just over 1% of the total supply, so a noticeable impact on price dynamics is unlikely.

EigenCloud, Sign, Kamino, and Jupiter Will Also Have Major Unlocks
In addition to SUI, four other projects are expected to have notable unlocks this week. The token release volume for each ranges from $10 million to $12 million.
EigenCloud will unlock tokens worth about $11.82 million. This will increase the circulating supply by 6.71%.
Almost the same volume applies to Sign — about $11.72 million. However, this project stands out more than the others: 17.61% of the current token supply will be released at once. This is the highest figure among all major unlocks of the week.
Kamino will release tokens worth $10.51 million, which corresponds to 6.12% of the circulating supply. Jupiter will have an unlock volume of about $10.15 million, and the supply will increase by 3.95%.
For Sign holders, the share of new tokens may be more important than their monetary value. Although the unlock amount is less than SUI, the impact on the token supply is much higher.
The Week Ends With More Modest Token Unlocks
In the second half of the list by unlock volume are Optimism, Ethena, Sahara AI, ZetaChain and Gunz.

The largest release among them is expected from Optimism — tokens worth $9.15 million will enter circulation. The supply will increase by only 1.62%.
Next is Ethena with an unlock of $6.73 million. Despite the solid amount, the supply will grow by only 0.56% — the lowest figure among projects in this group.
For Sahara AI, tokens worth $5.54 million will enter circulation, which is immediately 8.3% of the current supply. ZetaChain will unlock assets worth $3.47 million, increasing the coin supply by 2.1%, and Gunz closes the list with a token release of $2.63 million or 5.7% of the supply.
The size of the unlock in dollars does not always reflect its possible impact on the market. For example, Ethena is releasing tokens for a larger amount than some other projects, but its supply increase remains the smallest.
How to Assess the Impact of Major Token Unlocks
A large unlock volume by itself does not necessarily mean that the price will go down. It is much more important what share of the total supply the new tokens represent and how they come to market — all at once or gradually. In the case of this week, tokens worth $154.95 million will be unlocked at once using the cliff model.

If you look specifically at the share of new supply, the most attention should be paid to Sign and Sahara AI. For these projects, the unlock increases the number of tokens in circulation the most, so their dynamics may be the most interesting in the coming days.
SUI leads in the total value of unlocked assets, but the supply will increase by only 1.14%. Because of this, the impact on the price may be minimal.
For other projects, new tokens will enter the market in more moderate volumes. At the same time, the unlock itself does not mean that market participants will immediately start massively selling the asset. Everything will depend on the behavior of holders and the overall market situation.
