    Crypto projects are poised to release approximately $4.5 billion in vested tokens this September, as reported by data tracker Tokenomist.

    According to Tokenomist data, around $1.17 billion will be unlocked from cliff releases, while $3.36 billion will be made available through linear unlocks. Approximately $4.5 billion in tokens will be accessible to investors, project teams, and other stakeholders as the vesting agreements conclude.

    Cliff unlocks typically involve larger, one-time token releases that take place at the end of a specified lockup period, which can significantly impact the market due to supply shocks. In contrast, linear unlocks distribute tokens gradually over time, helping to mitigate supply impact.

    Prominent projects like Sui (SUI), Fasttoken (FTN), Arbitrum (ARB), and Aptos (APT) are among those unlocking millions in vested tokens this September.

    Crypto projects to unlock vested tokens in September

    Sui is leading this month’s token unlocks with over $153 million in tokens projected for release. Tokenomist data indicates that the network has only released 35.1% of its total supply, meaning a large portion remains locked.

    FTN follows in second place with $90 million in tokens set to increase the supply. Unlike Sui, FTN has already unlocked over 96% of its tokens, indicating a smaller relative increase in supply for this release.

    Aptos is next with nearly $50 million in tokens scheduled for unlocking, while Arbitrum comes closely behind with around $48 million expected for release next month.

    Other notable unlocks include Starknet, releasing $16.85 million, and Sei, which will add approximately $16.49 million to its supply. Projects such as ZK and Immutable are also set to release $10.7 million and $13.4 million, respectively.

    Market shifts from unlock anxiety to a more refined perspective

    Vincent Kadar, CEO of security token platform Polymath, previously shared with Cointelegraph that while investors once experienced anxiety from token unlocks, the discussion has evolved.

    Kadar noted that sophisticated investors are now assessing the economics, levels of adoption, governance transparency, and the alignment of incentives with long-term value. He emphasized that the market is increasingly focusing on fundamentals, rather than just short-term impacts.

    Kadar remarked that this shift is beneficial for the industry as a whole, pointing out that the conversation is transforming as blockchain projects develop and engage with public markets.
