Crypto traders expect the market to blow up anytime from now. Amid this anticipation, Aptos and Solayer released tokens cumulatively worth over $57 million today. Aptos is an established layer-1, built using the MOVE programming language. On the other hand, Solayer is a layer-2 on Solana that seeks to enhance network security and scale the mainnet through a restaking mechanism.

tokens, whose maximum supply is 1 billion LAYER, have been released. The project unlocks nearly 10% of the total supply every three months. On May 11, they distributed 27.02 million LAYER or 10.95% of the total supply worth $33.77 million at the then spot rates.

In November, they will release 27.02 million LAYER, or 8.69% of the total supply. At spot rates, they will be worth $16.47 million. However, considering the volatile nature of LAYER crypto prices, it would be worth more or less.
Meanwhile, Aptos unlocks APT tokens every month. The linear unlock always sees Aptos release 11.31 million APT until 2032, when all 1 billion of the total supply would have been unlocked. Presently, only 514.53 million APT have been unlocked. Last month, the 11.31 million APT distributed to the community and investors were worth over $55 million.

Impact of Token Unlocks on Prices
Whenever projects unlock tokens, depending on their vesting schedules, they distribute them to teams, investors, foundations, and the community. Since these tokens are now in the hands of third parties, not the project, they can be sent to exchanges and sold.
However, in some instances, influenced by the market stage, they can be sent to non-custodial wallets and held. Others also choose to stake them, earning a yield. Historically, because of the increase in circulating supply, token unlocks tend to negatively impact prices.

The larger the unlock size, the more the panic there is among holders, and the higher the probability of price drops.
For Aptos, the 2.20% unlock is relatively modest and likely to have limited immediate impact, especially now considering its robust ecosystem growth.
The 9.51% release by Solayer is substantial, increasing the risk of volatility. Although early investors or team members might choose to HODL, should they dump them on the secondary market, LAYER prices will reverse losses.
Bitcoin Hyper: Best Crypto to Buy Now? Over $8.6 Million Raised
While traders closely monitor Aptos and Solayer, interest is quickly shifting to Bitcoin Hyper.
Bitcoin Hyper is clearly one of the hottest crypto presales in 2025.
It is easy to see why:
Bitcoin Hyper is building a layer-2 for Bitcoin using Solana technology for high speed and scalability.
The objective is to unlock the $2.3 trillion worth of BTC tied to the mainnet. Because Bitcoin lacks smart contracts, users who bridge trustlessly and privately to Bitcoin Hyper can engage in DeFi, play games, and even trade meme coins.

HYPER, the native token, is emerging as one of the best cryptos to buy now.
Over $8.6 million has been raised in the ongoing presale.
Each HYPER token is available for $0.01265, and you can buy using crypto or cash on the main page or straight from the Best Wallet.
Presale investors are encouraged to stake HYPER. Currently, the HYPER staking yield stands at 126%.
