Unlocking Tokens and Economic Events: Week of November 24 to 30, 2025

Major Token Unlocks for the Week of November 24–30, 2025, and Key Economic Events: Company Reports, Inflation Data, Central Bank Meetings. Analysis for Investors.

Investors worldwide are preparing for an eventful week. From November 24 to 30, 2025, a significant volume of tokens from seven projects – totaling approximately $80 million – will be unlocked in the cryptocurrency market as a result of scheduled token releases. Simultaneously, a series of important economic events and corporate reports are expected in the USA, Europe, Asia, and Russia. This combination of "crypto unlocks" and macroeconomic factors has the potential to impact the sentiment of participants in both the cryptocurrency market and traditional financial markets. Below is an analysis of cryptocurrencies and a review of the key events for the week, including token data and an economic publication and reporting calendar by day.

Major Token Unlocks of the Week

Throughout the week, seven projects will conduct significant token unlocks. This increase in the supply of the respective tokens in the market could theoretically create downward pressure on their price, especially if the volume is substantial relative to market capitalization. Below are the details for each token – unlock date, volume, share of market capitalization, estimated dollar amount, and total market capitalization of the project:

XPL (Plasma) – November 25; 88.88 million tokens; ~4.94% of market capitalization; ~$18.13 million; total cap ~ $2.02 billion.
WCT (WalletConnect) – November 26; 128.12 million tokens; ~68.8% of market capitalization; ~$14.84 million; total cap ~ $116 million.
KMNO (Kamino) – November 30; 220.00 million tokens; ~22.0% of market capitalization; ~$11.22 million; total cap ~ $507 million.
H (Humanity Protocol) – November 25; 91.67 million tokens; ~5.02% of market capitalization; ~$10.78 million; total cap ~ $1.18 billion.
OP (Optimism) – November 30; 32.21 million tokens; ~1.70% of market capitalization; ~$9.80 million; total cap ~ $1.31 billion.
ZORA (Zora) – November 30; 166.67 million tokens; ~3.73% of market capitalization; ~$8.68 million; total cap ~ $518 million.
UDS (Undeads Games) – November 30; 3.18 million tokens; ~3.10% of market capitalization; ~$6.91 million; total cap ~ $543 million.

The largest absolute unlock volume belongs to the XPL (Plasma) token – about $18 million, which is equivalent to ~4.9% of its capitalization. However, the most significant market event could be the WCT (WalletConnect) unlocking: approximately $14.8 million represents nearly 70% of this token’s current market capitalization, suggesting potential strong downward pressure on the price if holders of the new tokens decide to sell. In other cases, the release proportion is more moderate – for instance, Optimism (OP) will increase availability by only ~1.7% of its capitalization, which is likely to be absorbed by the market with minimal effect. Overall, significant token unlocks often lead to short-term volatility: new coins in circulation may lower prices if new investor demand does not increase proportionally. Conversely, positive news or strong fundamental value from projects (like OP, a leader in Layer 2 solutions) may help the market digest the new supply without long-term harm.

November 24, 2025 (Monday)

There are no scheduled publications of significant macroeconomic indicators on this day. There are also no reports from major companies – markets are taking a breather after an active previous week.

November 25, 2025 (Tuesday)

USA: Consumer Confidence Index (Conference Board) for November. The dynamics of this indicator will reveal the level of household confidence and may impact investor sentiment in the stock market and indirectly affect interest in risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
Quarterly Company Reports: A number of major corporations will present financial results. These include tech giant Alibaba (China), as well as American corporations Dell Technologies, Analog Devices, Zoom Video Communications, and enterprise software developer Workday. Additionally, one of the leading electric vehicle market players NIO (China) will report. These corporate reports could set the tone for global stock markets and reflect the state of consumer demand and technology.

November 26, 2025 (Wednesday)

Australia: Publication of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Q3. Inflation data in Australia is crucial for understanding the future policies of the Reserve Bank of Australia and may influence the Australian dollar and sentiment in Asian markets.
New Zealand: Meeting of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. An interest rate decision is expected (analysts forecast that the current level will be maintained). Retail sales data for New Zealand for the last quarter will also be published, reflecting the state of the economy and consumer activity.
USA: Second estimate of GDP for Q3 and October’s Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price indexes. Revised GDP figures will indicate the resilience of economic growth in the previous quarter, while the PCE indices – a key inflation indicator for the Fed – will provide insights into current pricing trends. This data could significantly impact expectations regarding the Fed's interest rate and, consequently, the dynamics of the stock and cryptocurrency markets.

November 27, 2025 (Thursday)

Japan: Tokyo Consumer Price Index for November. This indicator is a leading measure for national inflation in Japan; an acceleration in price growth may heighten expectations for tightening by the Bank of Japan. Any surprises in the CPI data can influence the yen and Asian markets.
USA: National holiday, Thanksgiving Day. U.S. financial markets are closed, and trading is not conducted. Trading volumes on global exchanges may be reduced, and volatility could increase due to low liquidity. Investors use this day to evaluate the week’s interim results without new data from the U.S.

November 28, 2025 (Friday)

USA: "Black Friday" – a shortened trading session on U.S. exchanges and the start of the holiday sales season. Investors are monitoring retail sales volumes on this day: a successful start to sales could support retailer stocks and overall market optimism, while weak results could raise concerns about consumer demand.
Europe: Important statistical data is released. In Germany, retail sales for October, as well as preliminary estimates of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for November – key indicators for the Eurozone economy – will be published. Simultaneously, Switzerland will present its Q3 GDP report, reflecting the growth rate of the country’s economy.
Canada: Publication of Q3 GDP (as well as monthly GDP for September). The data will reflect the state of the Canadian economy against changes in commodity prices. Results may influence the Canadian dollar and sentiment in commodity markets, which is also indirectly important for global investors.

November 29, 2025 (Saturday)

This Saturday, there are no scheduled economic events or corporate report publications. Markets are awaiting data from China and other events on Sunday, while traders evaluate weekly results and prepare for the start of a new month.

November 30, 2025 (Sunday)

China: Official Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for November in the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors. These indicators will provide a fresh assessment of the state of the world’s second-largest economy. Strong PMI data from China could improve global risk appetite and support commodity prices, while weak data raises concerns about economic slowdown.
OPEC+: Meeting of the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) of OPEC+. The committee will assess compliance with oil production quotas and may provide recommendations ahead of the forthcoming full OPEC+ meeting. Any signals from oil producers are crucial for the oil market: potential decisions affecting oil supply will reflect on energy prices and, consequently, on oil and gas company stocks and overall market index dynamics.

Conclusions for Investors

The week of November 24–30, 2025, promises to be information-rich, combining events from the cryptocurrency market and traditional economy. Significant token unlocks attract the attention of crypto investors: the increase in supply from several altcoins may lead to heightened volatility and price pressure in the short term. In particular, extreme cases like the situation with WalletConnect (WCT), where the unlock volume is comparable to the current capitalization, will test market liquidity and investor confidence in the project. Meanwhile, more moderate crypto unlocks (like Optimism) are unlikely to cause significant disruptions if the overall market conditions are favorable.

This week’s macroeconomic indicators and corporate reports from leading companies will be crucial "economic events" for global investors. Inflation data (USA, Europe, Asia) and central bank decisions (New Zealand) will help shape expectations regarding interest rates and economic growth, which directly influences the appetite for risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. At the same time, reports from corporations such as Alibaba, Dell, Zoom, and others will signal the state of corporate profits and consumer demand. Their results could determine the direction of stock indices, which, through investor sentiment, also indirectly affects digital assets. Thus, it is essential for cryptocurrency market investors to consider not only internal factors (token unlocks and other project news) but also external factors – economic statistics and corporate news. The interplay of these factors will determine the level of volatility and overall market trends as November comes to a close. Prudent evaluation and timely analysis of cryptocurrencies and traditional assets will aid investors in making informed decisions during such an eventful week.
