STRK's $6.75M unlock represents a 4.05% circulating supply addition against a ~$300M market cap, down from an $8B peak.

May 2026's combined unlock leaderboard is led by a single dominant cliff event from $HYPE, supported by the familiar linear giants $SOL and $TRUMP. The month introduces a new entrant in $PYTH.

HYPE's May 6 unlock is structurally modest at 0.18% of circulating supply — the committed amount of $17.52M SXT's 23.20% supply release on May 8 makes it one of the most dilutive single-day unlocks this week

Token unlocks move markets. Fundraising rounds tell you who's about to sell. Emissions decide whether a chart goes up or sideways. But getting that data? Five tabs, three exports, and a half-finished spreadsheet. Meet tok, the Tokenomist CLI. One command. Live tokenomics data. Zero tab-switching.

This week's digest arrives at a precarious geopolitical moment. Against that backdrop, the week's most significant token event is $HYPE's April 6 Core Contributors unlock and OneFootball's $OFC launches on April 9.

Most crypto networks pay miners to secure a ledger. Bittensor pays them to produce useful AI. That difference rewires everything about how the token economy works.

~330K or 9.9M HYPE unlocks? Most token unlock calendars only show the projected maximum. Tokenomist now tracks both projected unlocks and announced claims for Hyperliquid, making on-chain distribution data visible for the first time
