【Blockchain Rhythm】This week, the market is experiencing a wave of concentrated token unlocks. Multiple blockchain ecosystems and application tokens will undergo large-scale releases in the coming days, which may impact short-term liquidity and price trends.

Specifically, the unlock list covers several tracks from Layer 2 to application layers:

Mid-week unlocks (January 13-17)

CHEEL was the first to unlock 20.81 million tokens on January 13, valued at approximately $11.6 million, accounting for 2.78% of the circulating supply. The subsequent January 15 marks a period of intensive unlocking—CONX released 1.32 million tokens (about $20.59 million, 1.59%), STRK unlocked 127 million tokens (about $10.4 million, 4.83%), and SEI released 55.56 million tokens (about $6.7 million, 1.05%). Notably, DBR has a large unlock scheduled for January 17, with 618 million tokens valued at $11.6 million, but the unlock amount represents 14.81% of the circulating supply, indicating a relatively high-risk release. On the same day, ZK will also release 173 million tokens (about $5.9 million, 3.16%).

Weekend finale unlocks (January 18)

ARB, as a core asset of the Arbitrum ecosystem, was the first to unlock 92.65 million tokens on January 16 (about $18.8 million, 1.86%). The major event occurs on January 18, with two prominent tokens, ONDO and TRUMP, releasing simultaneously. ONDO will unlock 1.71 billion tokens, valued at up to $680.3 million, accounting for 17.10% of the circulating supply; TRUMP will release 50 million tokens on the same day, with an estimated value of $271 million, representing 11.95%.

The total scale of releases involved in this cycle is significant, especially with the dual releases of ONDO and TRUMP over the weekend, which could exert pressure on overall market liquidity and the prices of related tokens. Traders should closely monitor unlock schedules and proactively assess risk exposure.

ONDO-2,86%

TRUMP-1,58%

CHEEL-0,65%

XPLA-3,12%

Here comes another day of dumping, this week has been full of drama --- That 1.27 billion STRK tokens, I just want to know how low it can be dumped --- Getting off-topic, ONDO and TRUMP need to be dumped with 6.5 billion points, doing it all at once might break the support level --- Every time I see the unlocking wave, I think of my short positions, so frustrating --- It's better to wait before entering this week, wait until the unlock is over --- The large unlock of DBR is a bit scary, such a big proportion --- CHEEL's 2.78% is nothing, I've seen even more aggressive ones --- Feels like there's an unlocking every week, when will the token supply stabilize... --- Honestly, looking at this list, I know there's not much good to buy in the short term

Is it time to harvest the little guys again? If this unlock happens, it might plunge again.

Another wave of dumping rhythm, the 4.83% release of STRK is quite aggressive. ONDO and TRUMP's $650 million dump, it feels like we need to hold our positions well in the next few days. I just want to ask if STRK can withstand this wave, dumping $10.4 million feels really awkward. With this unlocking wave coming together, short-term turbulence is inevitable. Which coin can survive until the weekend really depends on luck. The large unlock of DBR is the one to really watch; please don't dump it into trash. It feels like another round of shakeout rhythm, how are the retail investors still buying in? CONX, STRK, SEI all dumping together, this week's liquidity might be completely drained. Next week's bunch of unlocks, probably someone will get wiped out again.

Here comes another dump? Just here to watch the show --- STRK this wave released 127 million at once, it has to drop... --- ONDO and TRUMP are releasing 650 million? Really daring --- So many unlocks next week, how to play... --- It's always the same pattern, first move out then see --- Be cautious with that large release of DBR --- With such high liquidity pressure, no need to look at the trend --- CHEEL 2.78% is also quite a lot, be careful --- Once again witnessing the "unlock and drop" rule --- Can the market withstand 650 million being dumped? I think it's questionable
