Deep Dive
1. Hyperliquid HYPE
Hyperliquid (HYPE) has the largest nominal unlock this week, with reports pointing to roughly $308 million unlocking on 29 Nov (UTC), around 2.66% of circulating supply. The event is described as the first major team unlock since TGE in 2024 in a detailed media report.
- The report emphasizes confusion around on-chain moves and clarifies the vesting is staggered rather than linear, which can moderate immediate sell pressure.
- The scale is large in USD terms even if the percentage is smaller than ZROs.
Nominal size is high, so watch liquidity and depth on HYPE around the unlock date. A staggered vesting profile can blunt immediate impact.
2. LayerZero ZRO
LayerZero (ZRO) shows one of the larger percentage unlocks this week. A market daybook lists an unlock of about 7.29% of circulating supply, worth roughly $25.71 million for the period covered in the note. See the daybook post.
- A higher percent of float can matter more than raw USD size for short-term balance of supply and demand.
- Additional mentions of ZROs near-term unlock appear in a daily digest that grouped it with KAITO for the weeks event flow in a news digest.
Even if USD size is smaller than HYPE, a 7%+ float addition can be impactful. Monitor exchange inflows and spreads into and after the unlock.
3. Kaito KAITO
KAITO (KAITO) also unlocks this week. A daybook listing flags an unlock near 3% of the circulating supply in the same window as ZRO, pointing to a meaningful float addition this week. See the daybook post.
- KAITOs unlock was also highlighted alongside LayerZero in a weekly events digest, reinforcing that both are near-term drivers, per the news digest.
- While nominal USD size is smaller than HYPE, percent of float is a key lens for near-term supply.
Treat KAITO as a percentage-of-float story. Track order book depth and any team or ecosystem communications around token uses post-unlock.
Conclusion
This weeks largest unlocks cluster around Hyperliquid in nominal USD and LayerZero and KAITO in percent-of-float terms. The practical impact depends on vesting mechanics, secondary market depth, and whether newly unlocked tokens actually hit exchanges. Watching liquidity, exchange inflows, and spread behavior around the unlock windows can help separate narrative from realized supply pressure.
