Between July 7 and 13, 2025, insiders unlocked a large volume of blockchain tokens across multiple projects, with a combined value exceeding $53.9 million. These token releases, involving founders, team members, and private investors, can lead to increased selling pressure, particularly if the unlocks represent a large percentage of a token’s circulating supply.
The largest single event on the calendar is the Aptos (APT) unlock, scheduled for July 12. The project will release tokens valued at $32.28 million, an amount that represents 1.05% of APT’s total circulating supply, or approximately 6.77 million tokens.
Given its large market capitalization, the Aptos unlock is the most significant in terms of sheer dollar value hitting the market.

On July 11, IO (IO) experienced a large unlock amounting to $7.51 million, equivalent to 5.97% of its circulating tokens or approximately 10.07 million tokens.

Similarly, PEAQ (PEAQ) released $4.52 million worth of tokens on July 12, representing 5.96% of its circulating supply. These unlocks are signs of large liquidity entering the market from insider sources within a short timeframe.
