Crypto projects are set to unlock $4.5 billion in vested tokens in September, with $1.17 billion from cliff unlocks and $3.36 billion from linear unlocks. Cliff unlocks release tokens at once, causing supply shocks, while linear unlocks distribute tokens over time. Projects like Sui, Fasttoken, Arbitrum, and Aptos are among those unlocking tokens.

Sui leads September unlocks with over $153 million, releasing only 35.1% of its supply. Fasttoken follows with $90 million, having released over 96% of its tokens. Aptos unlocks nearly $50 million, while Arbitrum releases about $48 million. Starknet, Sei, ZK, and Immutable will also unlock millions in tokens next month.

CEO of Polymath, Vincent Kadar, notes a shift in investor sentiment towards token unlocks. Investors now focus on long-term value, economics, adoption levels, governance transparency, and incentives aligning with fundamentals. This shift towards a more nuanced perspective is seen as constructive for the industry as blockchain projects grow and connect with public markets.
