- Over $2.7B in token unlocks from major projects like SUI and ZRO may introduce volatility amid a recovering altcoin market trend.
- Altcoin market cap rebounds above $1T as TOTAL2 chart shows rising volume and renewed momentum despite upcoming supply shocks.
- June unlocks led by SUI, ZRO, and APT total over $600M, potentially shifting sentiment as altseason gains traction in late 2025.
A surge of over $2.7 billion in token unlocks will hit the crypto market in June 2025. Ten major projects will release locked tokens, including Sui, LayerZero, Aptos, zkSync, and Saros. These unlocks could trigger volatility as fresh supply enters the market. Meanwhile, TOTAL2, the chart tracking altcoin market cap excluding Bitcoin, signals a potential recovery from months of decline. Altcoins could soon benefit from renewed bullish momentum heading into the second half of 2025.
Massive Token Unlocks Signal Supply Shock
Sui leads the upcoming unlocks with $206.33 million worth of tokens set for release on June 2. This equals 1.75% of SUI’s market cap, adding 58.35 million tokens into circulation. LayerZero follows with a $64.29 million unlock scheduled for June 21, representing a hefty 22.2% of ZRO’s total value. Moreover, Aptos plans a $58.52 million release on June 13, injecting 11.31 million tokens into the market.
Additionally, zkSync will unlock $46.58 million on June 18, impacting 20.9% of its total market value. Saros wraps up the top five with a $43.75 million release on June 20. These five alone account for more than half of June’s total unlocked value. Besides, other projects such as Vana, Arbitrum, Ethena, Polyhedra, and Optimism round out the list. Each has scheduled unlocks ranging from $23.63 million to $37.02 million.
Hence, this influx of liquidity could trigger heavy selling pressure. Traders often anticipate such events by adjusting their positions in advance. The combined value of these unlocks exceeds $600 million across the ten projects.
TOTAL2 Chart Shows Signs of Recovery
Despite recent selling, the TOTAL2 chart shows encouraging signs. After peaking near $1.6 trillion in late 2024, altcoin market cap declined steadily. However, the chart’s lower trendline provided strong support as the market bounced multiple times around $800–$900 billion.

Consequently, the altcoin market has reclaimed $1 trillion. Recent green candles and rising volume suggest fresh buying interest. The current market cap sits at $929.4 billion, showing a cautious recovery. Altcoins appear poised for growth as macro trends shift.
