TL;DR
- Token unlocks worth more than $793.6 million are scheduled for October’s fourth week, with LayerZero, Plasma and Humanity among the largest releases tracked by Tokenomist.
- LayerZero will unlock 23.28 million ZRO on October 20, while Plasma and Humanity plan releases of 227.78 million XPL and 266.47 million H on October 25.
- Unlocks increase supply but do not prove tokens will be sold, and Tokenomist notes amounts and timing can change.
Crypto markets face more than $793.6 million in scheduled token releases during the fourth week of October, with LayerZero, Plasma and Humanity among the largest cliff events. The Tokenomist dashboard tracks the releases alongside broader linear emissions, while its event pages caution that timing and amounts may change. The current dashboard separately shows $124.09 million in cliff unlocks over seven days, a narrower category than the broader weekly total. For investors studying tokenomics and vesting, the headline total represents scheduled supply becoming transferable, not evidence that $793.6 million of tokens will immediately be sold into the market.
LayerZero Leads as Plasma and Humanity Prepare October 25 Unlocks
LayerZero leads the highlighted cliff releases on October 20 with 23.28 million ZRO, valued at $43.54 million in the reference snapshot and equal to 3.83% of released supply. Tokenomist later displayed the upcoming value near $42.61 million as market prices changed, illustrating why dollar estimates can move before an unlock occurs. Market prices can alter release valuations. The event follows earlier LayerZero-led unlock cycles tracked across the market. ZRO is the largest named cliff event this week, but its dollar value remains sensitive to the token’s price before release.
Plasma and Humanity are scheduled for October 25. Plasma plans to release 227.78 million XPL, worth $17.50 million in the original snapshot and 5.02% of released supply; Tokenomist later showed $17.53 million. Of that amount, 88.89 million XPL goes to ecosystem and growth, while investors and the team each receive 69.44 million. Humanity plans to unlock 266.47 million H, valued at $15.30 million in the original snapshot and 6.84% of released supply; the later dashboard showed $15.11 million. Previous Humanity and Plasma unlocks provide context. Both events distribute tokens across multiple stakeholder groups rather than one recipient category.
Humanity’s allocation gives 79.17 million H to early contributors, 55.56 million to investors, 50 million to the ecosystem fund, 42.86 million to identity-verification rewards, 26.39 million to the Human Institute Strategic Reserve and 12.50 million to the foundation operations treasury. Other scheduled releases during the week include SoSoValue, Kaito, Bedrock and additional projects, contributing to the market-wide total. Earlier large token unlock waves show why traders monitor supply calendars, although unlocks alone do not establish selling pressure. The immediate market question is whether newly transferable supply is retained, deployed within ecosystems or moved toward secondary-market liquidity.
