Key Notes
- Over $1.05 billion in token unlocks will hit the market in seven days.
- Bitget Token and PLUME face the largest cliff dilution.
- With the AltSeason Index at 27, capital stays in Bitcoin.
The crypto market faces more than $1.05 billion in token unlocks over the next seven days, according to token unlock data provider Tokenomist. The timing is poor for altcoins as the AltSeason Index sits at 27, which means Bitcoin is dominating, and the risk appetite for secondary assets is weak.
Unlocks of this size matter because they increase liquid supply in a market already struggling to absorb sell pressure. According to CoinMarketCap data, in the past 24 hours, the total crypto market cap is down more than 2%, currently at $3.15 trillion.
Cliff Unlocks Bring Sudden Supply Shocks
The largest one‑time unlock belongs to the Bitget Token (BGB), with 140.56 million tokens worth roughly $528 million entering adjusted supply. The single event represents about 7.76% of BGB’s adjusted released supply in one week.
Meanwhile, PLUME shows the sharpest impact with about 1.42 billion tokens (worth $22.4 million) scheduled to unlock, equal to more than 41% of the adjusted released supply.
Also, RIVER token’s cliff unlock releases 2.75 million tokens worth $74.1 million, roughly 8% of adjusted supply. Smaller cliff events follow across ZRO at $43 million, MBG at $19.2 million, H at $18.9 million, and UDS, XPL, SOSO, SOON, and ANIME.
Linear Unlocks Keep Daily Pressure On
Linear unlocks are led by RAIN with 9.41 billion tokens unlocking linearly, worth about $85.3 million, or 2.77% of the circulating supply. Moreover, roughly 481,000 SOL worth $64.7 million will also be released, representing only 0.09% of the circulating supply.
DOGE and AVAX show similar dynamics, with low percentage unlocks of 0.06% and 0.16%, respectively, worth $12.26 million and $8.85 million. Other linear unlocks include TRUMP at $32.2 million, WLD at $18.8 million, and ASTER near $7 million.
Traders Abandon Hope as Bitcoin Dominates
According to analyst Ivan on Tech, long‑term altcoin holders are sitting deep in losses, still waiting for recoveries that never come. Capital, meanwhile, has rotated to Bitcoin

Veteran trader Peter Brandt said that altcoins are casualties of a broader monetary reset, not beneficiaries. He said that capital concentrates into proven stores of value while weaker digital assets decay.
Bitcoin already occupies a unique role that cannot be easily replicated, Brandt explained, adding that altcoins face constant dilution, competition, and fading narratives.
