Written the night of Oct 5 2026 from each project's own news, checked at the source. Each coin's page has its full supply numbers.
- APT AptosUnlock
The last big team and investor unlock is a week away.
On Oct 12 2026 about 11.31M APT unlocks, the final payout of the four-year team and investor vesting. After that the monthly unlock drops to about 4.54M APT. Traders are asking whether the end of vesting will ease the selling.
APT supply research → - CAKE PancakeSwapBurn
Another weekly burn: about 503,000 CAKE bought and destroyed.
On Oct 5 2026 PancakeSwap burned about 503,000 CAKE that it bought with trading fees, after about 452,000 the week before. Only about 124,000 new CAKE is kept as rewards each week, so the supply shrank again. People ask how long the burn can stay this big now that CAKE costs almost twice what it did in July.
CAKE supply research → - CRO CronosBuyback
Cronos holders voted to burn 228 million CRO and fund buybacks.
The vote closed on Oct 3 2026 with 99.78% support. 228 million CRO from the community pool were burned, and all revenue from the Ult app and Cronos Launch will now go to monthly CRO buybacks and burns. People ask how big those monthly buybacks will be.
CRO supply research → - ENA EthenaUnlock
Ethena's Oct 5 unlock has very different numbers in different places.
Some trackers show about 172 million ENA unlocking on Oct 5 2026, others show about 1.4 billion. The gap comes from an Aug 27 2026 change: the rest of the investor tokens now unlock in one go starting Oct 5, instead of monthly until 2028. People ask how many of these tokens will really be sold.
ENA supply research → - FF Falcon FinanceUnlock
FF fell after a big unlock on Sep 29 2026.
About 203 million FF unlocked on Sep 29 2026, and by Oct 3 2026 the price was near $0.095, about 28% lower than on Sep 26 2026. More FF unlocks every month, and the next one is on Oct 29 2026. People ask if buyers can absorb this new supply.
FF supply research → - FIL FilecoinUnlock
New FIL from the launch vesting stops on Oct 14.
The six-year vesting for Protocol Labs and the Filecoin Foundation ends on Oct 14 2026, and with it about 187,000 new FIL a day. The project says new supply drops by about three quarters. People ask whether that ends the steady selling, or whether storage collateral coming back keeps the pressure on.
FIL supply research → - FLOKI FlokiNew supply
FLOKI holders got the fourth round of the RICE airdrop.
On Oct 2 2026 Floki said Round 4 of 8 of the RICE token airdrop was sent: 20 million RICE to eligible FLOKI and TOKEN holders and stakers. That brings the total to 70 million of 140 million RICE. Floki said the round was late and said sorry. People ask when the next rounds will come.
FLOKI supply research → - GT GateBurn
Gate burned about 2 million GT for the third quarter.
On Oct 4 2026, Gate sent 1,987,321 GT, worth over $22.35 million, to a burn address. In total, 191.9 million GT have now been burned from a starting supply of 300 million. People ask if the burns can keep up as the price sits near $11.50.
GT supply research → - HYPE HyperliquidBuyback
Interest from USDC reserves started paying for HYPE buybacks.
Around Oct 3 2026, Hyperliquid received its first payment of about $14.58 million in USDC from a deal that sends most of the interest earned on USDC reserves into HYPE buybacks. HYPE traded near $92 on Oct 5 2026, close to its record of about $98 from Sep 23 2026. People ask how big these payments can get each month, and if they will keep pushing HYPE to new highs.
HYPE supply research → - KITE KiteUnlock
A large KITE unlock is expected in the last months of 2026.
A report on Oct 2 2026 listed KITE among coins facing their first big unlock in the fourth quarter, about $119 million of tokens. KITE started trading in November 2025, so early team and investor tokens are now close to unlocking. People ask how much of this supply will be sold.
KITE supply research → Binance burned about 335 million LUNC, but the price barely moved.
On Oct 1 2026 Binance burned about 334.88 million LUNC from its monthly trading fees. The price stayed near $0.000053, about the same as before the burn. People ask why these burns do not lift the price, since they are small next to the huge total supply.
LUNC supply research →- M MemeCoreUnlock
MemeCore's monthly token unlock hit the market as the price slid.
About 56 million new M tokens were unlocked in early October, around Oct 2 2026. That is about 2.5% of the M already trading. M is near $1.04, down about 11% in a week. People ask if the extra supply will keep pushing the price down.
M supply research → - PIEVERSE PieverseUnlock
A large Pieverse unlock is expected late this year.
A report on Oct 2 2026 listed Pieverse among coins facing their first big unlock in the last months of 2026, about $46 million of tokens, with insider unlocks expected from mid-November. PIEVERSE is also down about 17% over the past week. People ask how much of this new supply will be sold.
PIEVERSE supply research → - TIA CelestiaUnlock
A big team unlock stream ends on Oct 30 2026.
Celestia's yearly unlock dates fall on Oct 30, and this year the first core team's tokens finish unlocking. After that, fewer new TIA should reach the market each day, by one estimate about 47% fewer. People ask if this is already in the price, since TIA rose about 50% from its mid-September low.
TIA supply research → - VVV Venice TokenNew supply
Venice cut new VVV supply again.
On Oct 1 2026, Venice lowered new VVV tokens from 2.5 million to 2 million per year. That is about 86% less than the 14 million per year at launch in January 2025. People ask if fewer new tokens, plus the buy-and-burn, can keep supply shrinking.
VVV supply research → - XPL PlasmaUnlock
XPL kept falling after its big one-year unlock.
On Sep 25 2026, about 1.67 billion XPL for the team and investors unlocked at once, 16.65% of all tokens. On Oct 3 2026, XPL fell about 7% more, and it is down about 17% in a week. People ask how much of the unlocked XPL is still waiting to be sold.
XPL supply research → - ZRO LayerZeroUnlock
Big holders are moving ZRO to exchanges before the Oct 20 unlock.
On Oct 3 2026 an early investor wallet sent 8M ZRO to an institutional custody desk, and on Oct 5 a large holder sent about 1.7M ZRO to Binance as the price slipped about 5%. The next monthly unlock of about 23M ZRO lands on Oct 20 2026, and people ask whether holders are getting ready to sell.
