According to data tracking agency Tokenomist, cryptocurrency projects will unlock approximately $4.5 billion in locked tokens in September.

Tokenomist's data shows that about $1.17 billion will come from cliff unlocks, while $3.36 billion will be released through linear unlocks. As the lock-up agreements expire, approximately $4.5 billion worth of tokens will be made available to investors, project teams, and other stakeholders.

Cliff unlocks typically occur as a larger one-time token release at the end of a specified lock-up period. This often has a greater impact on the market due to supply shocks. On the other hand, linear unlocks distribute tokens over time, helping to smooth the impact on supply.

Projects such as Sui (SUI), Fasttoken (FTN), Arbitrum (ARB), and Aptos (APT) are among the largest cryptocurrency projects unlocking millions of locked tokens in September.

Sui leads the September token unlocks with over $153 million in scheduled released tokens. Tokenomist data shows that the network has only released 35.1% of its supply, meaning a significant portion remains locked.

FTN ranks second with an increase of $90 million in token supply. Unlike Sui, FTN has already released over 96% of its tokens. This means that the relative increase in supply from this unlock is smaller.

Aptos follows closely, unlocking nearly $50 million in tokens, while Arbitrum plans to release approximately $48 million in tokens next month.

Other notable unlocks include Starknet, which will release $16.85 million in tokens, and Sei, which will increase its supply by about $16.49 million in tokens. Projects like ZK and Immutable will release $10.7 million and $13.4 million in tokens, respectively.

Polymath CEO Vincent Kadar previously told Cointelegraph that while investors have historically been anxious about token unlocks, the conversation has shifted.

Kadar stated that mature investors evaluate economics, adoption levels, governance transparency, and incentives aligned with long-term value. He noted that the market's focus on short-term impacts has decreased, with more attention on fundamentals.

Kadar mentioned that this shift is constructive for the entire industry and added that as blockchain projects evolve and connect with public markets, the dialogue is changing.
