OVER $205 MILLION IN TOKENS SET TO UNLOCK NEXT WEEK (MAY 18–24, 2026)
Next week could become a major liquidity stress test for the crypto market as more than $205M worth of tokens are scheduled to enter circulation. In a market that remains highly sensitive to sell pressure, large-scale unlock events like these often become catalysts for significant volatility
Key unlocks to watch:
$PYTH → $95.7M on May 20
$ZRO → $33.3M on May 20
$CC → $23.3M unlocked daily
$TRUMP → $14.9M weekly unlock
$MBG → $8.32M on May 22
$KAITO → $7.63M on May 20
$GWEI → $7.24M on May 21
$YZY → $6.29M on May 18
$SOSO → $4.80M on May 24
$SOON → $3.66M on May 23
But the real spotlight this week is on $PYTH.
Not only does $PYTH account for nearly half of the total unlock value with $95.7M, but it is also releasing 21.3% of its circulating supply in a single event on May 20. That level of dilution is massive for any asset, especially under current market liquidity conditions
What makes the situation even more important is the timing
May 20 is shaping up to be the biggest pressure day of the week, with $PYTH, $ZRO, and $KAITO all unlocking simultaneously. Multiple large unlocks hitting the market at once could create layered selling pressure, particularly if buy-side liquidity is unable to absorb the new supply efficiently
The most critical dilution events:
$PYTH → 21.3% of circulating supply unlocked
$KAITO → 3.26% of circulating supply unlocked
High-dilution unlocks are always the most dangerous type of token event because the issue is not just “how much value” enters the market, it’s whether market depth is strong enough to absorb it without triggering instability
If demand fails to keep up, these unlocks could become catalysts for:
- intensified profit-taking
- short-term liquidity drain
- panic sentiment
- and deeper-than-expected corrections
Next week won’t just be about token unlocks
It will be a real test of how strong the current market liquidity truly is
