August is shaping up to be a moderately active month for token unlocks, with over $3 billion worth of vested assets set to enter circulation. While this is significantly lower than July’s $6 billion, it still represents a meaningful increase in market supply that could influence price action. Unlocks affect more than just price—they signal liquidity for early investors and teams, potential shifts in market sentiment, and the movement of tokens into staking or DeFi platforms.
Since the start of August, roughly 10 token unlock events have been recorded, and traders will be watching closely to see which projects are releasing tokens and in what proportion of their circulating supply. Even though the absolute value is smaller than last month’s, the market may still react ahead of the unlocks, with volatility influenced by how quickly these tokens enter exchanges or liquidity pools.
Tokens to be unlocked in the next week
We have three tokens that will be releasing varying amounts of supply into the market. ALT layer, Soso value, and Orderly Network are the three popular tokens that we have picked.
ALTLayer
AltLayer is a decentralized Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform that enables developers to launch customized, application-specific rollups quickly and securely across multiple chains. It combines the flexibility of modular architecture with the security of restaked assets to offer a scalable and decentralized solution.
ALTLayer’s ALT token unlocks are scheduled once a month. The next unlock will happen in four days, on the 25th of August, where 240.80M (2.41% of Max Supply) tokens will be released into the market. With this unlock, the total amount of tokens unlocked will increase to 42.4% from 40%. In another 3 months, when another 240 million tokens are unlocked in November, the unlocked tokens will reach 50%.
What will happen to ALT prices?
The blue arrow on the charts signifies the token unlocks that happened during the past 4 months. When closely observing the price action after the token release, the trend did not change. Currently, ALT is on an uptrend, as it sits on the 50-day EMA support level. Once the token unlock happens, there won’t be a significant change to the price as at other times.
SoSoValue
SoSoValue (SOSO) is the native utility token of the SoSoValue ecosystem, an AI-powered investment and crypto research platform. It blends CeFi efficiency with DeFi transparency to provide users with analytics, decentralized portfolios, and governance influence.
With a token unlock scheduled for August 24, where 6.66 million SOSO will be unlocked, a total of 11% token will be unlocked. The next unlock which will release 0.66% will happen in two rounds. With this unlock the the total unlocked tokens will increase to 117 million SOSO.
What will happen to SOSO prices?
On the daily chart, SOSO is trading inside an ascending triangle. An ascending triangle forms when price makes higher lows against a flat resistance level. It shows buyers are getting stronger, pushing price upward while sellers defend the same ceiling. Eventually, the pressure often leads to a breakout above resistance, usually signaling bullish continuation. Although there wil be a token unlock, there wont be a price crash below the trend, as it will be absorbed by the bulls.
Orderly network
Orderly Network is a decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol and liquidity infrastructure designed for trading solutions for DeFi applications. Built on the NEAR blockchain and supporting multiple EVM-compatible chains, Orderly aims to bridge the gap between centralized exchange (CEX) performance and decentralized architecture. Orderly Network’s utility token $ORDER plays a central role in the ecosystem, governance, staking rewards, and dApp Integration.
August 21, 2025, is a special day for Orderly Network’s ORDER tokens, as there will be a token unlock today. The network will unlock 134.37K ORDER (0.01% of Total Supply), which is worth $19.03K (0.05% of Market Cap), in two rounds. With this unlock, the circulating supply will reach 386.5 million ORDER.
What will happen to ORDER prices?
ORDER has been on an uptrend, making higher lows on the monthly chart. As it makes another higher low near the $0.13 support level, the strength of this support will be put to the test with the token launch. However, based on historic data, the price was never sensitive to small token unlocks (0.01%), like this. As such, if there is any change in price, it will be negligible.
