💧$SUI Network to unlock millions of SUI this week – Should you be worried?
The Sui Network (#SUI )will unlock over $250 million worth of its native token on February 1. This is part of Sui tokenomics and monthly unlock schedule that inflates SUI’s circulating supply and dilutes investors’ holdings.
Finbold has been monitoring and reporting Sui cliff unlocks according to data from Tokenomist. For example, December 1 saw Sui’s largest unlock in U.S. dollar value of 2024, unlocking $224 million worth of 64.19 million tokens. January 2025 had an even larger unlock nominal value for the same amount, valued at $274 million, as reported.
The phenomenon is set to repeat tomorrow, on Saturday, if SUI continues trading close to its current level. Indeed, the usual 64.2 million SUI unlock currently holds a nominal value of $269.62 million. This will artificially increase Sui’s circulating supply and market capitalization by 2.1% after the token unlock.
Interestingly, there are still 1.77 billion SUI locked in vested contracts with a scheduled unlock. Over 5.22 billion of locked SUI tokens are not yet scheduled, classified as “TBD locked” by Tokenomist.
🔸 Over $500 million of token unlocks next week
Overall, “Cliff Unlocks” data from Tokenomist also shows that $539.16 million will be unlocked by 40 cryptocurrency projects in the next seven days. Other projects with significant unlocks are XDC Network (XDC) and Ethena (ENA), with $93.43 million and $39.09 million, respectively.
Yet, SUI still represents the largest share, unlocking nearly 50% of all upcoming cliff events for the next week on Tokenomist. However, Ripple’s XRP leads, as usual, the largest monthly unlocks in USD value of the entire market, unlocking over $3 billion in XRP on the same day as Sui.
