Scroll, Plume, and AltLayer Set for Major Token Unlocks in Late April, Stirring Market Anticipation
Three Major Token Unlocks This Week Could Shift Crypto Market Dynamics
The final week of April is shaping up to be a pivotal moment for several blockchain projects, as significant token unlocks are scheduled to release hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of assets into the market. These events—where previously restricted tokens become publicly tradeable—can inject fresh liquidity, impact price volatility, and influence investor sentiment across the crypto landscape.
This week, all eyes are on Scroll (SCR), Plume Network (PLUME), and AltLayer (ALT), as each prepares for large-scale unlocks that may ripple through the decentralized finance ecosystem.
Scroll (SCR): Expanding Ethereum’s Efficiency
- Unlock Date: April 22
- Tokens to Be Unlocked: 40 million SCR
- Percentage of Total Supply: 4%
- Value of Unlock: ~$9.2 million
- Total Supply: 1 billion SCR
- Circulating Supply: 190 million
Scroll, a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, is known for leveraging zkRollup technology to enhance transaction throughput while reducing gas fees. The project is unlocking 40 million SCR tokens—roughly 4% of its total supply—on April 22. This move is expected to increase market liquidity and could renew interest in Scroll’s mission to make Ethereum more accessible and scalable.
Plume Network (PLUME): Real-World Assets Meet Blockchain

- Circulating Supply: 2 billion
Plume Network operates as a Layer 1 blockchain tailored to bring real-world assets (RWAs) such as fine art, sustainable energy, and other investment-grade assets onto the chain. Its April 21 unlock will release more than 108 million PLUME tokens, a significant portion of which will go to early backers and contributors. Notably, 7% is reserved for a community airdrop, potentially spurring broader engagement within its composable RWAfi (Real-World Asset Finance) ecosystem.
AltLayer (ALT): Boosting Scalability with Restaked Rollups
- Unlock Date: April 25
- Tokens to Be Unlocked: 240.8 million ALT
- Percentage of Total Supply: 2.41%
- Value of Unlock: ~$6.5 million
- Total Supply: 10 billion ALT
- Circulating Supply: 3.03 billion
AltLayer aims to strengthen blockchain infrastructure by integrating Restaked Rollups—a hybrid approach that combines popular rollup technologies like OP Stack and Arbitrum Orbit with EigenLayer’s restaking framework. On April 25, the project will release over 240 million ALT tokens. Most of these will support foundation initiatives and further protocol development, potentially enhancing the network’s decentralization and long-term utility.
Other Notable Unlocks This Week
In addition to the three headline projects, several other token unlocks are on the calendar. Orbiter Finance (OBT) and Hatom (HTM) will release tokens on April 20, followed by ZND on April 24. While these events are smaller in scale, they collectively contribute to a dynamic and evolving market environment.
