The crypto market will face token unlocks worth more than $730.1 million (€652 million) in the last week of October 2026. Collector Crypt (CARDS), Sui (SUI), and Kamino (KMNO) stand out in particular, since they are releasing new token supplies that could make trading choppy in the short term.
Biggest Unlocks at a Glance
Collector Crypt unlocks 59.26 million CARDS on October 29, worth $17.57 million (€15.7 million). That equals 9.60% of the unlocked supply. Most of it goes to the team, followed by the community, advisors, and seed investors. Collector Crypt is a marketplace on the Solana blockchain for tokenized trading cards, where users can buy, trade, and redeem cards while the physical cards stay in storage.
Kamino follows on October 30 with an unlock of 229.17 million KMNO, worth about $9.69 million (€8.7 million). That works out to 2.73% of the unlocked supply. Here too, most of it goes to the team and core contributors. Kamino Finance is a DeFi protocol on Solana focused on borrowing, lending, and liquidity.
Sui Awaits November 1
Sui unlocks 13.15 million SUI on November 1, with an estimated value of $12.11 million (€10.8 million). That is 0.32% of the unlocked supply. The tokens go to early contributors, the community reserve, and Mysten Labs' treasury. Sui is a Layer-1 blockchain that uses the Move programming language and focuses on fast, scalable dApps.
Why This Matters
For crypto investors, token unlocks matter mainly because extra supply can temporarily shift the market, especially when a large share goes to team members, early investors, or other insiders. Historically, these kinds of events are often followed by weaker price action, although the final impact depends heavily on the size of the unlock, how the tokens are distributed, and market conditions. Tokenomist marks the unlocks for Collector Crypt, Sui, and Kamino as pending verification, so the figures mentioned are still projections for now.
