Massive $230M in Insider Unlocks Set to Shake Crypto Markets (June 16–22, 2025)

This upcoming week, June 16-22, 2025, over $230 million worth of tokens are scheduled for insider unlocks, a development likely to cause notable price volatility. As investors brace for market impact, large-scale token unlocks from major projects like Fasttoken (FTN), LayerZero (ZRO), and ZKsync (ZK) are drawing increased scrutiny.

With significant portions of circulating supply being released, market sentiment could shift, especially for tokens already showing weakness. The timing of these unlocks could either provide short-term trading opportunities or intensify bearish trends depending on investor reactions and market liquidity.

FTN Holds Steady as ZRO and ZK Plunge Ahead of Unlocks

According to Tokenomist data, Fasttoken (FTN) tops the list with $89 million in unlocks, equivalent to 4.66% of its circulating supply. Despite this, FTN’s price has held relatively steady. It currently trades at $4.45, marking a mild 0.09% gain in the last 24 hours and a 0.78% rise over the past week.

With a circulating supply of 430 million tokens, FTN’s market cap stands at approximately $1.91 billion. This stability hints at strong underlying support or low sell pressure from insiders, which is not the case for all projects this week.

On the other hand, LayerZero (ZRO) and ZKsync (ZK) are seeing considerable selloffs ahead of their unlocks. ZRO has $46.4 million set to unlock 21.63% of its circulating supply. Its price has fallen sharply to $1.93, down 10.78% over the last day and 10.57% this week.

Mid and Low Cap Tokens Show Mixed Trends

Arbitrum (ARB) is unlocking $31.63 million in tokens, just 1.91% of its circulating supply. Its price has fallen by 11.55% in the last 24 hours but still gained 1.93% this week.

As of press time, ARB trades at $0.34 with a $1.65 billion market cap. SPACE ID (ID), with an 11.23% unlock, is priced at $0.1628 down 9.39% on the day and 6.31% for the week.
