More than $913 million (€801 million) worth of tokens will be unlocked in the crypto market this week. That includes DoubleZero (2Z), Sui (SUI), and Collector Crypt (CARDS), three projects that are bringing new token supply to the market. These unlocks often line up with bigger price swings, although the effect varies by project and by how the tokens are distributed.
DoubleZero and Sui
DoubleZero unlocks on October 2 1.66 billion 2Z, worth $113.20 million (€99.3 million). That is 47.69% of the unlocked supply. The release comes exactly one year after 2Z started trading on October 2, 2025. The distribution goes to Jump Crypto, Malbec Labs, institutions, the team, and contributors, among others.
Sui follows on October 1 with 13.26 million SUI, worth about $16.84 million (€14.8 million). That is 0.32% of the unlocked supply. The tokens go to early contributors, the community reserve, and Mysten Labs. Sui is a Layer-1 blockchain focused on parallel execution and is used for things like gaming, DeFi, and Web3 apps. The token often gets more attention when big unlocks are coming up, such as with earlier large SUI releases.
Collector Crypt on Solana
Collector Crypt unlocks on September 29 59.26 million CARDS, worth $11.67 million (€10.2 million). The project runs on the Solana blockchain and combines tokenized trading cards with physical cards stored in lockers. The CARDS token is the platform's native token.
Most of the unlocked tokens go to the team, followed by the community, advisors, and seed investors. That means a relatively large share of the new supply ends up with parties that were already involved in the project.
Why This Matters for Investors
Historical data shows that token unlocks often line up with downward price pressure, although that is not always the case. The impact depends in part on the size of the unlock compared with circulating supply, who receives the tokens, and what the market looks like at the time. For European crypto investors, the key thing is that events like this can get priced in weeks before the unlock, while the outcome can vary a lot from one token to another.
