Big Crypto Unlocks Coming: Watch ARB, YZY, and CONX This Week

The crypto market is bracing for a surge in circulating supply this second week of August 2026. Major projects including YZY, CONX, and ARB are set to release locked tokens, a move that often creates short term price volatility as the total available supply increases.

YZY leads the schedule with a significant unlock on August 16. The project will release 120.83 million tokens, valued at approximately $35.22 million, to Yeezy Investments LLC. This represents over 22% of the currently released supply, making it a key event for holders to monitor.

Connex (CONX) follows on August 15 with 1.32 million tokens entering the market, worth about $11.55 million. The majority of these funds are headed for the project ecosystem and community treasury. Meanwhile, the Layer 2 scaling solution Arbitrum (ARB) will release 92.65 million tokens on August 16. While this is valued at $7.19 million, it represents a smaller portion of its massive total supply.

Investors should pay close attention to these dates. Large token releases can lead to increased selling pressure if early backers or project teams decide to move their assets. Beyond these three, other projects like APT, STRK, and SEI are also scheduled for supply updates this week.
