The dynamics of SUI unlocking have been closely monitored by the market, with variations in dollar values influenced by SUI price fluctuations.
Data
Tokenomist’s data reveals that previous unlocks have seen significant amounts, such as $274 million in January 2025 and $224 million in December 2024. Despite fluctuations in dollar values, the amount of SUI tokens unlocked remains consistent at around 64.2 million. The unlock will add 2.1% to the circulating supply.
