October's token unlock calendar is dumping over a billion dollars in previously locked supply into circulation. The top seven unlocks for the month total $1.08 billion. One project, Rain, accounts for $785.5 million of that – roughly 73%.
The remaining six tokens split $294.5 million. RAIN's release alone is bigger than the combined total of everything else in the top seven.
This is not a one-off. Rain had a June cliff unlock valued between $650 million and $713 million, depending on which tracking platform you check. A July event was projected at $812 million. October's $785.5 million fits neatly into that range. These are not surprises. They are recurring vesting events baked into Rain's tokenomics.
Rain operates as a crypto-native payments and settlement infrastructure protocol. It builds the plumbing for moving digital assets through financial systems. That is the product. The token side is structured with locked allocations that release in large batches rather than trickling out gradually. Platforms like Tokenomist, CryptoRank, and CoinMarketCal have been tracking these events, with RAIN consistently showing up as the biggest single supply event on the calendar.
The simple read on token unlocks is straightforward. More tokens enter circulation. If demand does not rise proportionally, price falls. The better read depends on what recipients do with the unlocked tokens. Cliff unlocks often hit early investors or team wallets. Those recipients may sell, stake, or hold. The real signal is how quickly unlocked tokens move to exchanges, whether large wallets are consolidating or distributing, and how trading volume reacts in the days after each unlock.
October's $1.08 billion total across seven tokens is large relative to an average month. Spread across different dates and tokens, the market may absorb the pressure if demand holds. Rain alone represents $785.5 million. Its specific unlock date, listed on tracking platforms, is the single day to watch.
The next Rain unlock after October follows the same monthly cadence. The pattern is established. The question each month is whether the recipients sell into the event or let the tokens sit.
