According to TokenUnlocks, the major August unlockings, exceeding $900 million, include DYDX, SUI, ZETA, GAL, W, IMX, XAI, APT, SAND, STARK, ARB, APE, ROSE, PIXEL, AVAX, and OP.

According to data from TokenUnlocks, August 2024 is scheduled to see over $900 million worth of vested tokens come onto the market across a wide range of major crypto projects, including DYDX, SUI, ZETA, GAL, W, IMX, XAI, APT, SAND, STARK, ARB, APE, ROSE, PIXEL, AVAX, and OP. The unlocks generally derive from team, investor, ecosystem, and community allocations that were previously locked under vesting schedules and are now becoming transferable. Analyses from exchanges and research outlets highlight several of the largest individual events: Avalanche (AVAX) is set to unlock about 9.54 million AVAX (over $250 million) around August 20, Wormhole (W) is expected to release 600 million W (over $150 million) in early August, Aptos (APT) roughly 11.31 million APT (over $70 million) mid‑month, and The Sandbox (SAND) more than 200 million SAND (around $60–70 million) in its own August event. Additional significant unlocks include batches for Sui (SUI), dYdX (DYDX), ZetaChain (ZETA), Galxe (GAL), Immutable (IMX), Xai (XAI), Arbitrum (ARB), Starknet (STARK), ApeCoin (APE), Oasis Network (ROSE), Pixels (PIXEL), Optimism (OP), and others, each typically adding tens of millions of dollars in new circulating supply. These unlocks matter because they materially increase token circulating supply in a short window, which research desks note can affect liquidity, float, and short‑term price dynamics, particularly for tokens where the unlocked share is large relative to what already trades in the market. Market commentary around the August schedule frames it as a concentrated test of how well these ecosystems can absorb new supply: some teams may use the events to deepen liquidity or distribute to ecosystem programs, while investors and traders may watch for potential volatility around each unlock date rather than only the aggregate headline number.
