Sui Network’s native token SUI is releasing an estimated $15.4 million in new supply this week through its ongoing vesting schedule, part of a broader token unlock wave topped by artist-token platform Audiera (BEAT) at roughly $81.66 million.
Key Takeaways
SUI unlocks about $15.4 million in tokens daily this week, per Cryptorank.BEAT leads the release wave at $81.66 million, with EigenLayer’s EIGEN adding $7.65 million on August 1.SUI trades at $0.69 with 4.05 billion of its 10 billion token cap already circulating.A token unlock occurs when previously restricted cryptocurrency, typically set aside for a project’s team, early investors or ecosystem fund, becomes available to trade on the open market. Cryptorank’s roundup named SUI as one of seven assets facing notable releases this week, alongside BEAT, BTW, Ethena’s ENA, EigenLayer’s EIGEN, Zama’s ZAMA and Kite AI’s KITE.
SUI’s Unlock Works DifferentlyUnlike BEAT’s single cliff event, SUI does not release tokens in one lump sum. To elaborate, the Sui Network, developed by Mysten Labs, distributes new supply on a continuous daily basis to categories that include community reserves, early contributors and the Mysten Labs treasury.
That structure spreads roughly $15.4 million worth of SUI into circulation across the week rather than concentrating the impact on a single trading day.
SUI’s max supply is capped at 10 billion tokens, of which about 4.05 billion, or roughly 40%, are already circulating. The token currently trades at $0.69 as of July 29, giving it a market capitalization near $2.78 billion.
Large unlocks matter to traders because they expand the pool of tokens that can be sold at once. When new supply lands on exchanges faster than demand absorbs it, prices can face downward pressure, particularly for tokens where unlocked holders include venture investors or early team members looking to realize gains.
Analysts who track vesting calendars argue the effect is strongest around cliff unlocks like BEAT’s, where a large percentage of supply arrives at once, rather than gradual daily releases like SUI’s.
That aspect in itself has made SUI a recurring name on unlock trackers without necessarily signaling acute sell pressure. The token has appeared on weekly unlock lists throughout 2026 given its size and continuous vesting design, even as the Sui ecosystem has posted unrelated gains elsewhere.
The next signal worth watching is whether SUI’s price holds steady through that August 1-2 window even as five other tokens absorb concentrated releases at the same time, a test that could shape how traders price in future Sui Network unlock weeks.
