Token unlocks are back in focus this week as several major crypto projects prepare to release previously locked tokens into the market. For the September 14–20, 2026 period, LayerZero's ZRO leads KuCoin's published weekly ranking with an estimated $26.8 million unlock, followed by Bedrock's BR at $16.9 million and YZY MONEY's YZY at $8.4 million.
KuCoin's weekly ranking, which attributes the underlying data to CoinMarketCap, places seven tokens above the rest of the listed releases by estimated dollar value: ZRO, BR, YZY, SEI, KAITO, STRK and OFFICIAL TRUMP. Together, those seven figures add up to approximately $69.3 million.
Token-unlock data can vary between tracking platforms. Differences may result from token prices used at the time of calculation, circulating-supply snapshots, whether the figure represents a specific day's release or a weekly event, and how each provider defines the percentage of supply affected.
Top 7 Token Unlocks From September 14 to September 20

Source framework: KuCoin's September 14–20 weekly ranking. The page attributes the underlying data to CoinMarketCap. Percentages are reproduced as reported by the ranking and should not automatically be treated as equivalent to percentages published by other token-unlock providers.
*The TRUMP $1.8 million figure refers specifically to the September 14–20 weekly ranking, not the broader September unlock schedule.
1. LayerZero (ZRO): The Largest Unlock of the Week
LayerZero's ZRO ranks first in the weekly list with an estimated $26.8 million of tokens scheduled for release and a reported impact of 6.87% of circulating supply.
ZRO is therefore the largest unlock in the September 14–20 ranking by estimated dollar value. A release of this size can increase the amount of tradable supply available to the market, although an unlock does not automatically mean that all released tokens will immediately be sold.
Other tokenomics trackers have published somewhat different ZRO estimates. Some reports place the relevant event at roughly $25.8 million to $26.4 million, with a percentage around 4.22% under their own supply methodology. That percentage should not be treated as directly equivalent to KuCoin's 6.87% figure because the underlying denominator can differ.
For clarity, the $26.8 million figure is the weekly-ranking estimate used in this article; other reports may show slightly different values depending on the token price and supply methodology used.
2. Bedrock (BR): Large Supply Impact Despite a Lower Dollar Value
Bedrock's BR is second with an estimated $16.9 million unlock and a reported 13.47% of circulating supply in KuCoin's weekly ranking.
The percentage is particularly important because BR's reported supply impact is considerably larger than its dollar ranking alone suggests. A token release can create additional selling pressure when newly unlocked holdings become transferable, but the actual market impact depends on whether recipients sell, hold, stake or otherwise use their tokens.
Alternative reports have used different supply calculations for the BR event. Some datasets report a figure around $10.4 million and approximately 18.68% under their own methodology. The difference highlights why the percentage should always be read together with the provider's definition of the relevant supply base.
3. YZY MONEY (YZY): A Significant Percentage of Supply
YZY MONEY's YZY ranks third at approximately $8.4 million, with KuCoin reporting an unlock equivalent to 9.63% of circulating supply.
For traders, the percentage figure can be more important than the raw dollar amount. A smaller token can experience a meaningful supply change even when its unlock is much smaller than those of larger crypto assets.
Other token-unlock datasets have reported a lower percentage, around 4.4%–4.49%, depending on the supply calculation used. The dollar estimate remains broadly centered around the same event, but the percentage discrepancy shows why different supply denominators should not be mixed.
4. Sei (SEI): Weekly Figure Versus Individual-Day Data
Sei (SEI) appears fourth in KuCoin's weekly ranking at approximately $5.4 million, equal to a reported 1.61% of circulating supply.
Other tracking reports have placed a specific September 15 SEI release at approximately $2.46 million to $2.50 million, or around 0.86% under their respective methodology.
The difference does not necessarily mean that one figure is incorrect. A weekly ranking can aggregate or classify scheduled releases differently from a tracker that highlights a particular day's unlock. Traders should therefore confirm the release date and event scope before interpreting the number as a single-day supply increase.
5. KAITO (KAITO): Around $5.3M in the Weekly Ranking
KAITO ranks fifth in KuCoin's September 14–20 list with an estimated $5.3 million unlock and a reported 7.29% of circulating supply.
An alternative report from Bitcoinsistemi places the September 20 KAITO unlock at approximately $5.36 million and 7.29%. The dollar-value difference is small, while the reported percentage is the same.
Because the two estimates are very close, KAITO does not show the same major data discrepancy seen with some of the other tokens in the weekly ranking.
6. Starknet (STRK): Another Smaller-Dollar Unlock to Watch
Starknet's STRK is sixth with an estimated $4.7 million unlock and a reported 2.27% of circulating supply in KuCoin's weekly ranking.
Alternative reports have placed the relevant release closer to approximately $3.53 million–$3.63 million, with percentages reported in the roughly 1.79%–3.48% range depending on the dataset and calculation method.
The difference can reflect variations in token prices, supply snapshots and event definitions. For STRK, the safest approach is to treat the KuCoin figure as the weekly-ranking estimate while recognizing that other trackers may show a different value for the scheduled release.
7. OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP): $1.8M for This Week, Not the Entire September Unlock
OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP) ranks seventh in KuCoin's September 14–20 weekly list at approximately $1.8 million, representing 0.33% of circulating supply according to that ranking.
This number needs an important qualification: $1.8 million refers to the amount included in the September 14–20 weekly ranking, not the entire September unlock schedule.
Broader September reporting has cited a much larger TRUMP unlock of approximately $60.25 million, or around 10.35% under that dataset's methodology. The two numbers therefore describe different event scopes and should not be presented as direct contradictions.
Why Token Unlock Figures Differ Across Platforms
Investors often see different numbers for the same token unlock. That does not automatically mean that one source is incorrect. The most common reasons include token-price timing, circulating-supply snapshots, different denominators and whether a platform is reporting a single-day event, a weekly total or a broader monthly schedule.
| Token | KuCoin Weekly Figure | Alternative Data | Key Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZRO | $26.8M / 6.87% | ~$25.8M–$26.4M / ~4.22% | Different supply denominator/event methodology |
| BR | $16.9M / 13.47% | ~$10.4M / ~18.68% | Different float/supply methodology |
| YZY | $8.4M / 9.63% | ~4.4%–4.49% | Different supply denominator |
| SEI | $5.4M / 1.61% | ~$2.46M–$2.50M / 0.86% | Weekly ranking versus individual-day reporting |
| KAITO | $5.3M / 7.29% | ~$5.36M / 7.29% (Bitcoinsistemi) | Small difference in estimated dollar value |
| STRK | $4.7M / 2.27% | ~$3.53M–$3.63M | Different price/event calculations |
| TRUMP | $1.8M / 0.33% (weekly) | ~$60.25M / 10.35% in broader September reporting |

Why Token Unlocks Matter for Crypto Traders
Token unlocks matter because they can change the amount of supply that becomes transferable or potentially available to the market. When a large allocation becomes unlocked, investors may reassess the balance between available supply and demand.
However, an unlock itself is not a guaranteed sell signal. Tokens may remain with investors, project contributors, foundations, ecosystem participants or other recipients. Some may be staked, transferred, held or used within the project's ecosystem.
The potential market effect depends on several factors:
- Unlock size: Larger dollar-value releases can attract more market attention.
- Percentage of supply: A smaller dollar unlock can still be significant if it represents a large share of the relevant supply.
- Recipient type: Investor, team, foundation and ecosystem allocations can have different selling behavior.
- Liquidity: A highly liquid token may absorb additional supply more easily than a thinly traded asset.
- Market conditions: Risk appetite, Bitcoin's direction and broader crypto liquidity can amplify or reduce the effect.
PUMP and STBL Are Not Part of This Top 7
Two tokens frequently mentioned in broader token-unlock discussions this month are PUMP and STBL. They should not, however, be inserted into this specific September 14–20 top-seven ranking simply because they have notable upcoming supply events.
Broader September schedules can include releases outside the September 14–20 window. In particular, an STBL event scheduled later in September belongs to a different reporting period. Likewise, broader PUMP unlock figures should not be substituted for the seven-token weekly ranking above.
This distinction is important for avoiding misleading headlines that combine events from different dates into a single weekly list.
What Traders Should Watch This Week
ZRO is the headline event by dollar value, while BR and YZY stand out because their reported supply percentages are comparatively large. SEI, KAITO and STRK have smaller dollar values but can still become relevant if liquidity is weak or market sentiment deteriorates.
TRUMP requires the most careful interpretation because its $1.8 million figure in the weekly ranking represents only the portion assigned to the September 14–20 period. Broader monthly figures can look dramatically larger because they cover additional scheduled releases.
Traders should therefore avoid treating the ranking as a simple “sell list.” The more useful approach is to monitor the unlock date, recipient allocation, exchange liquidity, spot volume, derivatives positioning and price action around the release.
Bottom Line
The September 14–20 token-unlock schedule is led by LayerZero (ZRO) at $26.8 million, followed by Bedrock (BR) at $16.9 million and YZY MONEY (YZY) at $8.4 million in KuCoin's published weekly ranking.
The seven highlighted releases total approximately $69.3 million using those weekly-ranking figures. But the comparison also shows why token-unlock data should be handled carefully: alternative platforms can report different dollar values or supply percentages because they may use different prices, supply snapshots, denominators or event scopes.
For readers and traders, the key takeaway is simple: the size of an unlock matters, but the percentage of supply, recipient allocation, liquidity and exact event period matter just as much. ZRO is the largest dollar-value event in this week's ranking, while BR and YZY deserve additional attention because of their reported supply impact.
Data note: This article uses KuCoin's September 14–20 weekly ranking as the primary ranking framework. Alternative figures are included to show how token-unlock providers can differ in methodology and should not be interpreted as identical calculations.
