Crypto Market Emission
Track token supply being released across the entire market
Overview
Crypto Market Emission lets you track how much token supply is entering circulation across the entire crypto market. This gives you a clear sense of not just when tokens are being released, but also how much value is being released at any given time, allowing you to anticipate periods of higher dilution risk.
Accessing Crypto Market Emission
You can open Crypto Market Emission directly from the sidebar. Once inside, you’ll see an interactive chart displaying the total market value of tokens unlocking over time. A toggle at the top lets you switch views between
Total Value Unlock, which aggregates everything
Cliff Value Unlock, which highlights cliff releases
Linear Value Unlock, which filters only the steady drip of ongoing emissions.
Using Crypto Market Emission
By default, emissions are shown in a rolling 5-month window (+2 / –2 months), while Pro users can extend this to a 13-month horizon (+6 / –6 months) for a broader outlook.
The chart can be viewed weekly or monthly, and toggled between total value or, on Pro, broken down by individual tokens . When grouped by tokens, tokens with unlocked values below a certain percentage of the total for each period are grouped into the 'Others' category. For more details please see below.
Beneath the chart, a table shows which tokens are driving emissions during the selected window. You can check unlocks for the current week or month, and compare them against circulating supply, unlocked supply, or long-term supply through 2035.
Filters add another layer of context. Emissions can be narrowed to sectors such as AI, DeFi, Layer 1, or NFT tokens, while Pro accounts also filter by allocation type .
Finally, both the chart and table can be exported as CSV files so you can analyze the data in your own models.
Why It Matters
Understanding market-wide emissions helps you anticipate when liquidity pressure may increase across the industry. A $100m unlock from one project may look large, but when seen as part of $2b in cumulative unlocks happening the same week, the bigger picture becomes clear.
