Token Unlocks to Watch This Month: LayerZero, Plasma, Humanity and More
September 2026 has been a busy month for token unlocks — scheduled releases of previously locked token supply that can affect a project’s circulating supply and price. Here’s a roundup of the month’s notable events.
Early September
The first week of the month saw unlocks from Hyperliquid (HYPE), Ethena (ENA), and Sui (SUI), three projects that have drawn significant trading volume in 2026.
Mid-September
Mid-month brought unlocks from LayerZero (ZRO), Connex (CONX), and Bedrock (BR), all releasing meaningful new supply into circulation.
Late September
The back half of the month features unlocks from Plasma (XPL), Humanity (H), and SoSoValue (SOSO).
New listings
On the listings side, Solana-based tokens ZCAT and STONK were added to Bitrue Alpha on September 8 and September 7 respectively, reflecting continued new-project activity on Solana this quarter.
Why unlocks matter
Token unlocks increase the freely tradable supply of a project’s token, which can create downward price pressure if early investors or team members sell into the market. Traders often watch unlock calendars closely as a risk factor separate from a project’s underlying fundamentals.
