Unlock Amount: 31,340,000 OP tokens
Percentage of Circulating Supply: 1.8% (rounded; sources cite 1.79%–1.84%)
Estimated Value: $17.4–$17.9 million
Date: June 30, 2025
On June 30, 2025, Optimism (OP) is set to release 31. 34 million OP tokens, which would constitute roughly 1. 8% of its current circulating supply and is estimated to be worth between $17. 4 and $17. 9 million. Particularly if market demand is not great enough to absorb the flood of new tokens, this event is important since token unlocks usually raise the liquid supply of a cryptocurrency, therefore perhaps generating short-term selling pressure and price volatility.
Because OP just achieved a new all-time low and technical indications suggest ongoing bearish momentum, the additional supply from this unlocking could further depress its price and perhaps cause it to return to or go below recent lows. With OP acting as its native governance token for protocol updates and fund distribution, optimism itself is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum using optimistic rollups to improve transaction throughput and reduce expenses.
