TL;DR
- More than $438 million in token unlocks are scheduled for March 16 to March 23, with both cliff and linear releases spread across multiple projects.
- LayerZero leads cliff unlocks at $55.53 million, while Arbitrum, River and BARD headline the week’s largest one-time supply events.
- Linear releases are led by RAIN and Solana, while smaller projects still face outsized pressure because percentage changes can hit thinner markets harder for traders now.
This week’s token calendar is arriving with unusual weight, and the $438 million unlock schedule is big enough to matter across the market. Token releases worth more than $438 million are lined up between March 16 and March 23, creating a mix of cliff unlocks and steady linear emissions that traders will have to absorb. The importance is not only the headline sum. The schedule spreads across more than a dozen projects, which means supply pressure will not hit in one place. Instead, it will test how different tokens handle fresh circulation entering fragile markets.
ZRO and ARB set the tone for a crowded week
Among the cliff events, LayerZero and Arbitrum are drawing the most attention because their releases are large enough to shift sentiment even before tokens move. LayerZero tops the week by dollar value with 25.71 million ZRO worth $55.53 million, equal to 5.64% of adjusted released supply. River follows with 2.03 million tokens valued at $46.47 million, while BARD is set to release 32.40 million tokens worth $35.03 million, the biggest cliff unlock by token count. Arbitrum will add 96 million ARB, valued near $10 million, with MBG, YZY, and KAITO also there on the schedule.
On the linear side, the heaviest supply pressure is coming from projects that release tokens steadily enough to avoid one shock but still large enough to reshape weekly flows. RAIN leads the category with a seven-day unlock value of $86.51 million. Solana continues its schedule with 472,330 SOL worth $43.80 million, while TRUMP will release 6.33 million tokens valued at $25.63 million. Worldcoin adds 37.23 million WLD worth $13.64 million, and Dogecoin unlocks 97.15 million DOGE worth $9.51 million. CC, ASTER, and TAO contribute another $43.41 million combined. That pushes linear activity above $260 million.
Beyond the headline names, the unlock calendar still carries real risk for smaller projects because percentage changes in supply can hit thinner markets far harder than headline tokens. REVOX is scheduled to release 34.38 million REX worth about $3,651, equal to 1.15% of total locked supply. GoPlus Security is nearing a 166.44 million GPS release worth $1.44 million, or 1.66% of total locked supply. Hyperion, Parcl, Project Merlin, and Snapmuse are also approaching release milestones. The bigger market lesson is simple: cliff unlocks can pressure prices quickly, while linear releases spread that effect over time.
