March 2025 Token Unlocks
The cryptocurrency market is positioned to witness substantial token unlocks across several prominent projects. Token unlocks involve releasing previously restricted tokens into circulation, potentially influencing market liquidity and token valuations. Below is an overview of the major scheduled unlocks:
March 12: Aptos (APT) – 11.31 Million Tokens Aptos plans to unlock 11.31 million APT tokens, accounting for approximately 0.79% of its market value. As of 11 March 2025, 446.53 million APT tokens are already in circulation, with 546.39 million still locked. This scheduled unlock could exert downward pressure on APT’s price. However, Aptos, known for its high-performance Layer 1 blockchain and Move programming language, continues to attract developer interest. Investors monitoring ecosystem growth and adoption may find opportunities despite short-term price movements.
March 15: Sei (SEI) – 55.56 Million Tokens On March 15, Sei will release 55.56 million SEI tokens. Sei is a specialised Layer 1 blockchain designed for trading applications. The increase in circulating supply could influence SEI’s price but its growing presence in the decentralised exchange (DEX) and trading infrastructure sectors makes it a project worth watching for long-term utility.
March 16: Arbitrum (ARB) – 92.65 Million Tokens Arbitrum’s scheduled unlock of 92.65 million ARB tokens, valued at approximately $41.95 million, represents a significant increase in its circulating supply. Arbitrum, a leading Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, plays a crucial role in reducing transaction costs and improving efficiency. While price volatility is expected around the unlock, those focused on Ethereum’s long-term scalability may see potential strategic entry points.
March 17: ApeCoin (APE) – 15.60 Million Tokens ApeCoin is set to unlock 15.60 million APE tokens. As the governance and utility token of the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) ecosystem, APE facilitates transactions within its metaverse and NFT-related applications. Given its association with one of the most recognised NFT brands, speculative interest remains high.
March 21: Immutable (IMX) – 24.52 Million Tokens Immutable will release 24.52 million IMX tokens into circulation. As a key player in the blockchain gaming sector, Immutable leverages Layer 2 scaling to enhance NFT transactions. The token unlock may lead to price fluctuations, but the long-term adoption of Web3 gaming could provide sustained growth opportunities.
Final Thoughts
These token unlocks could introduce increased volatility into the cryptocurrency market. While the influx of tokens may exert downward pressure on prices due to heightened supply, the actual impact will depend on various factors, including market demand, investor sentiment, and the current broader economic conditions. For investors, monitoring the adoption of these tokens beyond short-term unlock events may provide insights into potential long-term opportunities. While volatility can create risks, it also presents strategic entry points for those who believe in the fundamental value of these projects.
