Next 6 to 12 months: Unprecedented surge in token unlocks in RWA sector. Billions in new supply hitting market. Price dynamic and liquidity reshaping moves in and around prominent RWA tokens. Reasons: Release schedules; percentages of supply hitting the market. Instigating events: Volatility moves and the introduction of selling pressure. Potential effect: Altered appearance and reality of the market as a whole. A Look Ahead: Major Token Unlocks in the RWA Sector Some of the largest participants in the RWA token market are gearing up for significant unlocks over the next year. These unlocks will touch an extensive array of tokens, some of which are set to release even more than 100% of today’s circulating supply. The consequent supply surge could impact token valuations—as in, if demand doesn’t keep up, these tokens could lose value. $OM: Aggressive Unlocking Schedule One of the most dramatic unlocks coming up within the foreseeable future is $OM, which has an aggressively scheduled release. In just the next six months, $OM will unlock a total of $719.52 million, which is 69.84% of the current supply that is available to be traded. Over the next year, that amount grows to an even more staggering $1.68 billion, representing 163.41% of the amount that is unlocked now. With all this trading possibility coming up, if demand can’t keep pace with the appearance of so many new tokens, there is bound to be some downward price action. $USUAL: Significant Unlocks Ahead Another token with a significant unlocking schedule is $USUAL. The project plans to release tokens worth $37.15 million (33.23% of its supply) in the next six months, and a staggering 117.81% (or $131.7 million) of its supply will unlock in the next year. These will affect the supply-demand balance, potentially in a big way. That could be a good thing for investors who hold or want to accumulate more $USUAL. But, if the demand for $USUAL doesn’t change in same the way the supply seems about to change, it could lead to a pronounced drop in the token’s price. So what’s the demand side of the equation look like? $PRCL: A More Moderate Dilution Risk Unlike the extreme unlocks of $OM and $USUAL, $PRCL has a relatively moderate unlock schedule. It is set to release $10.28 million (37.09%) in the next six months, with an additional $22.78 million (82.15%) unlocked within the year. This still represents a significant increase in supply, but the risk of dilution is less severe when compared to tokens with larger unlocks like $OM. Meanwhile, investors have to be aware that the price of $PRCL could dip in the immediate term as new tokens enter circulation. $TOKEN: Liquidity at Risk $TOKEN plans to release $12.06 million worth of tokens (42.87%) in the next six months. Within a year, the total unlocked will reach $23.93 million (85.04%). The prospect of this release impacting liquidity is notable, especially if the market sensibilities remain bearish during the unlocking. Given the unlock’s size, it’s also not hard to see this putting additional downward pressure on the price of $TOKEN, at least until the absorbed new supply route straight into bearish token holder wallets. $TRIBL: Extreme Long-Term Unlock One of the most extreme unlocking schedules in the RWA sector belongs to $TRIBL. This token is set to unlock 186.19% of its supplies within the next year, totaling $4.01 million in value. Such a high emission rate could have a significant impact on the price stability of $TRIBL, potentially causing wild swings in its value as new tokens flood the market. Investors should be braced for a volatile ride, as these extreme unlocks could create heightened uncertainty. $ZBCN & $VENOM: More Manageable Releases In a manner that allows for more control, $ZBCN and $VENOM will annually unleash not inconsiderable sums—$28.83 million (40.11%) and $47.80 million (35.34%), respectively—onto the marketplace. And even though these figures still represent a significant ramp-up in supply, the manner in which these two projects are supposed to operate suggests that at least some degree of manageable dilution will occur. RWA Token Unlocks: Billions in New Supply Surge—What to expect? Biggest Unlocks Ahead by RWA Sector • $OM – $719.52M (69.84%) unlocking in 6 months | $1.68B (163.41%) in a year • $USUAL – $37.15M (33.23%) in 6 months | $131.7M (117.81%) in a year • $PRCL – $10.28M (37.09%) in… pic.twitter.com/S34UmbvfQA — Tokenomist (prev. TokenUnlocks) (@Tokenomist_ai) March 13, 2025 $ONDO: An Outlier with No Planned Unlocks Significantly, $ONDO is an outlier in the RWA field. It has no significant unlocks lined up in the near term. This leaves us with new tokens as the only means to increase available supply, and we’re not expecting much in the way of new $ONDO tokens. In terms of tokenomics, this means that $ONDO has a pretty favorable-looking available supply situation in the near term. What Investors Need to Know The coming 6 to 12 months will be critical for investors in the RWA token space. A large number of tokens recently converted to RWA will soon be unlocked, which are likely to be followed by the next wave of unlocked tokens. Not only is the total number of tokens being unlocked very large, but also a few of the unlocked tokens have large individual unlock amounts. Between these two elements of token unlocks and the recent uptick in the market price for many crypto assets, we’ve received a lot of windshield time to assess how these unlocked tokens will impact their respective communities.
