- Trump Token’s $300M unlock may trigger strong market pressure and price swings
- ZKJ, SAROS, and UXLINK unlocks add volatility risk across mid-cap altcoins
- Meme coins and smaller projects could face steep sell-offs from token releases
Crypto markets face a busy schedule of token unlocks this week, putting traders on alert. These events often drive volatility, as over a dozen projects prepare to release large token amounts.
The market impact stems from supply and demand: large unlocks increase available supply, potentially pushing prices down. The actual effect depends on the unlock size versus currently trading tokens.
Which Tokens Have Big Unlocks Coming?
The highest-profile involves Official Trump (TRUMP) , valued currently over $300M. Plans call for releasing 40M tokens – representing ~4% total supply.
At present, only 20% of the total is unlocked. With the price currently at $7.61 , this event could pressure the market, especially as 76% of the supply remains locked.

ZKJ and SAROS Follow with Significant Releases
Polyhedra Network (ZKJ) is also gearing up for a notable unlock. It’s set to release 15.5 million tokens worth over thirty-four million dollars. With only 27.7% of its supply currently unlocked and the token priced at $2.20 , this could bring added liquidity, but also price uncertainty.
Likewise, Saros (SAROS) will release nearly 214 million tokens, valued at over twenty-eight million. The token is trading at $0.132 , and the unlock represents a significant 2.14% of the total supply. This event will likely be closely monitored as over 65 percent of the token remains locked.
What Other Major Unlocks Are Happening?
Plume Network (PLUME) will unlock tokens worth over seventeen million on April 21. The current market price is $0.1587 , and the token has seen a sharp decline of over 6% this week. Meanwhile, UXLINK, trading at $0.4397 , has experienced a 27 percent weekly drop ahead of its own $14.73 million unlock.
The story differs for Immutable (IMX). While unlocking tokens, IMX trades stable near $0.4091 with recent gains. Because 90% is already circulating, this release probably won’t cause major disruptions.

Meme and Mid-Cap Tokens Join the Action
Melania Meme (MELANIA) and Scroll (SCR) are also releasing millions worth of tokens this week. MELANIA, priced at $0.4083 , has dropped nearly 20% in the last seven days. SCR, trading at $0.2119 , faces a similar trend with a 14 percent weekly decline.
Rounding out the list are Orbiter Finance (OBT) and SoSoValue (SOSO). OBT, priced at $0.01039 , plans to unlock 350 million tokens, while SOSO, now at $0.4841 , will release a more modest 6.66 million. Though smaller in size, these unlocks may still impact their niche investor bases.
