<h4>Crypto feels chaotic, but parts of it run on a calendar. Token unlocks are one of those parts. They happen every week, every month, and every year, often with real impact on prices. The problem is not the unlock itself. It is that most investors only notice after the move.</h4>
So, most crypto losses do not come from bad projects. They come from bad timing. In the next seven days, new supply will enter the market across various altcoins. This does not mean panic. It means awareness. And you will need this awareness. This week, well over $269 million will unlock. When you treat unlocks as recurring events instead of surprises, you trade with context. And context is what separates noise from opportunity.
<h5>The Difference Between Cliff Unlocks and Linear Unlocks</h5>
By now, you may know that in crypto, there are altcoins unlocking every month. Some are recurring unlocks. Others have daily unlocks. That difference is what I would like to explain.
<h6>Cliff Unlocks</h6>
These unlocks are recurring unlocks that happen at set times. In general, after a TGE (token generation event), tokens are locked for various months or years. Not a single token unlocks during these periods. However, at some point, the unlocks start. A bunch of tokens from a specific project hit the market all at once. So, a few things happen.
<ul>
 <li style="font-weight: 400;">There’s a sudden increase in token supply.</li>
 <li style="font-weight: 400;">This can cause short-term volatility.</li>
 <li style="font-weight: 400;">It’s typical for the token price to drop when holders sell.</li>
</ul>
Typical receivers for these unlocks are, for instance,&nbsp;
<ul>
 <li style="font-weight: 400;">The team</li>
 <li style="font-weight: 400;">Early investors (often VCs)</li>
 <li style="font-weight: 400;">Advisors</li>
</ul>
You want to be aware of these unlock dates, so you can plan a strategy accordingly.
<h6>Linear Unlocks</h6>
These are unlocks that are released after set waiting periods. This can be daily, weekly, or monthly. For this video, I stick to daily unlocks. Linear unlocks release tokens in small and predictable batches. So, instead of a sudden supply increase, the increase is steadier.
This allows for lower volatility and is easier for the market to absorb. Parties that receive this are, for example, grant recipients. You can compare them to a slow drip. They’re less dramatic, but the pressure is always there.
So, cliff unlocks are typically more volatile. Hybrid options are popular. This means that there’s a cliff first, and linear unlocks afterward.
<h5>Altcoins with Cliff Unlocks</h5>
So, I’m kicking this off with some Cliff Unlocks. And I will start with the biggest unlock of altcoins for this week.
<h6>Humanity ($H)</h6>
<a href="https://www.humanity.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Humanity</a> provides a decentralized Proof-of-Humanity identity verification. It’s a zkEVM <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=layer+2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">layer 2</a>. If you remember, zk stands for zero knowledge. So, zk lets you prove that something is true without revealing the data itself. In other words, Humanity lets you prove that you’re human without revealing personal data.
On December 25th it <a href="https://tokenomist.ai/humanity" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">unlocks</a> 105.36 million $H. At the current <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/humanity" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$H price</a> of around 14.5 cents, that’s $15.7 million. That’s a 4.79% unlock of the current released supply. So, that’s a pretty big one. Expect volatility in the price action. If you do hold $H, maybe sell some now and buy back later. The allocations go to the,
<ul>
 <li style="font-weight: 400;">Ecosystem fund</li>
 <li style="font-weight: 400;">Identity verification rewards</li>
 <li style="font-weight: 400;">Foundation treasury

 </blockquote> </li>
</ul>
<h6>Plasma ($XPL)</h6>
<a href="https://www.plasma.to/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Plasma</a> is another player in the low fee stablecoin payments and global money transfers. It’s a layer 1 that’s EVM compatible. Plasma also has a <a href="https://tokenomist.ai/plasma" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">big unlock</a> on December 25th. That day, 88.89 million $XPL will unlock. That’s worth around $11.85 million at the current <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/plasma" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$XPL price</a> of 13.4 cents. This is 4.52% of the current circulating supply. The complete unlock will go to its ecosystem and growth.
This is another big unlock and I do expect a change in price.
<h6>Jupiter ($JUP)</h6>
<a href="https://jup.ag/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jupiter</a> is the biggest aggregator and DEX on Solana. Come December 28th, it has a 53.47 million <a href="https://tokenomist.ai/jupiter-exchange-solana" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">unlock</a> of $JUP coming up. At the current <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/jupiter" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$JUP price</a> of 19.5 cents, that’s worth around $10.42 million. It’s 1.79% of the current circulating token supply. The team receives the lion share, with 38.89 million $JUP. The remaining 14.58 million $JUP goes to the Mercurial Stakeholders. Mercurial Finance, a stablecoin-focused <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=dex" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DEX</a>, was a predecessor to Jupiter. Again, I do expect volatility here.
That’s it for the big Cliff unlocks in the coming week. Let’s move on to Linear Unlocks and see what’s going on there.

 I could even find some old jitoSOL available to claim thanks to Jupiter.

<h5>Altcoins with Linear Unlocks</h5>
So, here we are with a few linear unlocks of altcoins that will occur during the upcoming week. Pay attention, so you can position yourself accordingly.
<h6>Rain ($RAIN)</h6>
<a href="https://www.rain.one/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Rain</a> is a decentralized prediction market protocol on <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=arbitrum" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Arbitrum</a>. Between December 22nd and 29th, it has <a href="https://tokenomist.ai/rain" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">daily unlocks</a> of 1.35 billion $RAIN. With the current <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/rain" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$RAIN price</a> of 0.0075 cent, that’s around $10.16 million per day. For the whole week, you’re looking at $71.12 million. It’s only 0.4% of the current circulating supply. However, as I already mentioned, it’s a constant drip.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<h6>Solana ($SOL)</h6>
The mighty Solana also has <a href="https://tokenomist.ai/solana" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">daily unlocks</a> to the tune of 69.47 $SOL per day. That’s around $8.77 million at the current <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/solana" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$SOL price</a> of $126.21. For the entire week, we’re looking at $61.39 million. With the unlimited supply of $SOL, this is a constant addition to the supply. It’s an interesting dynamic how this affects the $SOL price.
<h6>Official Trump ($TRUMP)</h6>
The Official Trump token is a memecoin. According to some analysts, it’s at the root of why retail left the crypto space. Too many people got burned with this memecoin. It’s <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/official-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">93% down</a> from its $73 ATH, only 11 months ago. It has <a href="https://tokenomist.ai/official-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">daily unlocks</a> of 698.63k $TRUMP or $3.54 million. For the week, this makes almost $25 million. Per day, that’s 0.35% of the circulating supply.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<h6>Worldcoin ($WLD)</h6>
We’re not the biggest Worldcoin fans at Altcoin Buzz. However, if you have a bag of $WLD, you want to be aware that this week there’s a <a href="https://tokenomist.ai/worldcoin-wld" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">daily emission</a> of 5.32 million $WLD. That’s around $2.75 million per day or $19.25 million for the week at the current <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/worldcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$WLD price</a> of 51 cents. The daily emission is 0.21% of the circulating supply.
<h6>Avalanche ($AVAX)</h6>
I don’t cover $AVAX as much as I used to do. Its price is struggling, and it has 99.88k $AVAX <a href="https://tokenomist.ai/avalanche-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">unlocking per day</a>. That’s around $1.22 million at the current <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/avalanche" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$AVAX price</a> of $12.21. For the week, that makes $8.54 million in unlocks.
<h6>Aster ($ASTER)</h6>
The Binance backed perp DEX Aster is also seeing some juicy <a href="https://tokenomist.ai/aster-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">daily unlocks</a>. To the daily tune of 1.47 million $ASTER. At the current <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/aster-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$ASTER price</a> of 71 cents, that’s a good $1.05 million per day or 7.45 million for the week.&nbsp;
