#MayTokenUnlockWave
Updated Supply Schedule For May 2026
Total Supply Coming This Month
1. May 2026 total unlock value: About 418 million across 140 crypto projects 2. Cliff unlocks: Roughly 229 million scheduled between May 4 and May 11 3. Average float: 54.29 percent of total supply is already circulating for these tokens
Largest Cliff Unlocks By Value
1. Hyperliquid (HYPE): 399.318 million unlocked on May 5. This is the biggest single event for May 2. Pyth Network (PYTH): 100.91 million set for May 19. This equals 36.96 percent of circulating supply, the highest dilution ratio this month 3. Sui (SUI): About 40 million unlocking in early May. CME Group launched regulated SUI futures on May 4, which may help absorb supply 4. Aerodrome Finance (AERO): 19.032 million on May 6 5. Arbitrum (ARB): 11.29 million unlock 6. HUMA Finance: 10.03 million on May 26, equal to 20.04 percent of circulating supply 7. Aptos (APT): 0.54 percent of total supply unlocks May 12 at 6:30 PM UTC 8. PUMP: 1 percent of supply unlocks May 12 at 21:30 UTC
Large Cap Linear Emissions
1. Solana (SOL): Daily emissions continue to add steady supply 2. Worldcoin (WLD), Jupiter (JUP), Optimism (OP), ZetaChain (ZETA) have ongoing weekly or daily releases
Market Context Right Now
1. Total Crypto Value: 2.72 trillion 2. Bitcoin: 80372.18, up 0.73 percent today 3. Ethereum: 2314.48, up 1.01 percent 4. Bitcoin Share: 59.0 percent of total value 5. Fear And Greed Index: 38, which reads as Fear
Why Unlocks Move Price
1. Supply Rise: New tokens increase circulating supply. If buyer demand does not rise to match, price can face pressure 2. Liquidity Gaps: Small cap tokens with thin books can see sharp moves from unlocks. Large cap tokens with deep liquidity absorb supply better 3. Team And Early Backer Sales: Most unlocks go to teams, investors, and ecosystem funds. If those wallets move coins to trading venues, sell pressure rises
Key Dates Still Ahead
1. May 19: PYTH 100.91M unlock, 36.96 percent of circulating supply 2. May 26: HUMA 9.64M unlock, 20.04 percent of circulating supply 3. May 12: APT and PUMP unlocks in the evening UTC hours 4. Ongoing: SOL, WLD, JUP, OP daily and weekly emissions
What To Track
1. Onchain Flows: Watch wallets tagged as team or investor. Moves to trading venues before unlock dates often signal intent to sell 2. Order Book Depth: Check bid side liquidity. Thin books mean a small unlock can move price more 3. Funding Rates: Negative funding into an unlock shows shorts are paying longs. That can mark local lows if selling is absorbed 4. Catalysts: SUI has CME futures now live. That adds hedging tools and may bring new buyers to offset unlocks 5. Market Risk Appetite: With Fear at 38 and Bitcoin share at 59 percent, capital stays focused on large caps. Altcoin unlocks may see more pressure until that shifts
Outlook
May brings a large supply wave, but most projects are past the early high dilution phase. HYPE and PYTH are the two biggest events by value and ratio. The impact depends on who holds the unlocks and whether new demand from ETF flows, futures, and real users can offset selling.
