Token unlocks worth $756.12 million are scheduled to hit the market between May 18 and May 25, 2026, with Pyth Network sitting at the top of the list at $92.10 million.

The figure puts the network at 36.9% of the total weekly unlock value, the largest single contribution throughout the week, according to data compiled from Tokenomist and CoinGecko.

Cliff releases account for $170.66 million of the weekly total, with the remainder coming through linear schedules across a wider set of projects.

Pyth Network leads weekly token unlocks at $92.10 million

The biggest scheduled event of the week is the $92.10 million Pyth Network (PYTH) cliff release. This unlock represents 36.96% of the total tokens allocated for release during the seven-day period.

LayerZero (ZRO) is next with $32.91 million, with the release accounting for 10.19% of the weekly unlock total and 5.07% of the project’s circulating supply.

This week, Humanity (H) is set to release $25.99 million in tokens, which is 5.77% of the project’s circulating supply. Multibank (MBG) follows with $8.58 million in scheduled token unlocks, or 10.95% of its circulating supply. Kaito (KAITO) rounds out the top five with $8.12 million in tokens to be released, or 7.29% of its circulating supply.

Cliff releases account for $170.66 million of weekly total

The cliff portion of the week’s token unlocks is $170.66 million across five projects. This means roughly 22.6% of the total weekly unlock value is released into circulation at the same time.

The five cliff releases are Pyth Network ($92.10 million), LayerZero ($32.91 million), Humanity ($25.99 million), MBG ($8.58 million), and Kaito ($8.12 million). All five are scheduled to take place between May 18 and May 25, with the Pyth Network event being the biggest by a large margin.

The 36.9% share for Pyth Network sits on the higher end of the range for weekly cliff events. MBG by Multibank’s 10.95% figure is also worth watching since it puts more than a tenth of the project’s circulating supply into the market in one event.

The remaining cliff releases sit between 5% and 11% of their respective circulating supplies.

Linear token unlocks cover five smaller projects

The linear part of the weekly schedule is Plasma (XPL), SoSoValue (SOSO), Soon (SOON), Undead Games (UDS) & Limitless (LMTS). The five projects make up the rest of the $756.12 million total after the cliff releases.

Leading the linear sector is Plasma with $7.32 million in scheduled releases, accounting for 3.55% of its circulating supply. Next is SoSoValue, at $4.90 million, or 4.27% of supply. Soon unlocks tokens worth $3.45 million, which is 6.44% of the supply.

Undead Games has $3.31 million available, the lowest percentage of supply on the list at 1.72%. Limitless completes the linear set at $1.74M, at 9.63% of its total supply.

Smaller projects on CoinMarketCap round out the week

Outside the top ten cliff and linear events, CoinMarketCap lists several smaller projects with scheduled releases over the coming week. These projects sit at lower market capitalizations and lower absolute dollar values for the upcoming unlocks.

REVOX (REX) has 34.38 million REX tokens scheduled for release worth $733.35, equal to 1.15% of its total locked supply. Drift (DRIFT) has 13.16 million DRIFT scheduled at $370,831.57 in value, or 1.32% of its total locked supply.

UCBI Holding (UCBI) has 1.29 million tokens scheduled for release at 4.24 million in value, equal to 10.72% of its total locked supply, the largest percentage on the smaller-project list. RICE AI (RICE) has 33.92 million tokens scheduled at $201,832.38, or 3.39% of total locked.
