Solana Ecosystem Prepares for Major Token Unlocks and Burn
The Solana ecosystem is preparing for a significant supply shock in October 2026. Four projects will release large batches of previously locked tokens into the market, while one project plans to destroy a quarter of its supply.
DoubleZero leads the charge with 1.78 billion $2Z tokens unlocking on October 2, valued at around $113 million and representing approximately 34.78% of the circulating supply. The timing coincides with the expiration of a 12-month vesting cliff.
Other notable releases include Official Trump ($TRUMP) with 28.02 million tokens worth about $60.8 million, Pump.fun ($PUMP) unlocking 7 billion tokens at an estimated value of $40.25 million, and deBridge ($DBR) releasing 618.33 million tokens on October 17, equal to roughly 10.42% of its circulating supply and valued near $12.5 million.
In contrast, Sanctum plans to burn 259 million SANC tokens on October 6, representing a quarter of its total supply. This move aims to remove excess supply from an underused community reserve, as approved by token holders through a governance vote in September.
