The altcoin market will record more than $1.1 billion in weekly insider unlocks before the end of this week.
According to crypto tokenomics data from Tokenomist, the founding team of the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin will unlock 90 million tokens, which represents around 45% of the total circulating supply.
Precisely, the founding team of the TRUMP memecoin will unlock tokens worth $880 million on July 18, 2025.

On July 16, the founding team and early private investors will unlock 92.65 million ARB tokens, currently worth about $37.96 million. The upcoming ARB unlock will involve 1.87% of the circulating supply, thus will have accessed 43.42% of their total allocation.

Market Impact of the $1.1B Weekly Insider Unlocks
This $1.1 billion wave of insider token unlocks will mark a major milestone for these crypto projects, as early investors and team members will receive their share of vested tokens. These unlocks coincide with an ongoing crypto market rally, which saw Bitcoin surge beyond $120k for the first time.
The release gives early investors and founding access to liquidity previously locked, thus potentially increasing selling pressure. Furthermore, some of the early investors and the founding team will likely be taking profits in the subsequent days.

On the other hand, the increase in the circulating supply of the unlocked tokens will further boost the tokens’ liquidity across different DeFi protocols. The result is a double-edged sword that prospective investors must consider before speculating about their midterm price action.
