The post $566M Token Unlocks Could Set the Crypto Market Up for Price Swings appeared com. Key Insights: Token unlocks add $566 million of new supply and may create short-term crypto market pressure. HYPE, XPL, and JUP unlock land while prices are already weak across the market. Heavy unlock weeks often thin liquidity and make the crypto market move sharply. The crypto market is heading into a tricky week. More than $566 million in token unlocks will enter circulation. When new tokens enter the market, the total supply grows.

This week’s unlocks are large enough to shake the market if buyers slow down. HYPE, XPL, and JUP Token Unlocks Bring Most of the New Supply In the latest crypto market news, Hyperliquid, Plasma, and Jupiter are the biggest unlocks of the week. Each unlock has a different reason, but the effect is the same: more tokens enter the market at once. Hyperliquid (HYPE) will unlock 9. 92 million tokens on Nov. 29, worth about $327 million. These tokens go to contributors. Even though some large buyers have been adding HYPE for weeks, the price still fell by 16. 7% in the past seven days. When a crypto token is already falling, and a large amount of new supply enters the market, the pressure often increases. If demand does not catch up, HYPE may find it hard to recover this week. Plasma (XPL) unlocks 88. 89 million tokens on November 25, worth about $17. 53 million. This unlock equals 4. 74% of its circulating supply. XPL is already down 22. 1% in the last.
