This week's token unlock digest highlights significant events against a backdrop of geopolitical tension. The most notable event is HYPE's April 6 Core Contributors unlock, which carries a $355M whitepaper figure, though the Hyperliquid team has committed to claiming only approximately $11.94M (3.4% of the paper amount), consistent with their historical practice of managing supply overhang. OneFootball's OFC token launches on April 9, timed strategically ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a community-heavy allocation of 51% to ecosystem and partnerships. The week also saw important protocol upgrades, with Aster ending its monthly ecosystem unlock schedule in favor of a reward-based model, reducing monthly token output by roughly 97%. Polkadot implemented a hard supply cap of 2.1 billion DOT and cut annual new token issuance by 53.6%. Next week's scheduled token releases are set to exceed $890 million in total value, with major cliff unlocks for ENA, HYPE, BABY, OPN, and LINEA.
