Token Unlocks to Watch Next Week: TIA, SUI and OP
Token unlock involves releasing tokens that were previously blocked under fundraising terms. Projects carefully schedule these releases to avoid market pressure and prevent a drop in token prices.
Here are five major token unlocks to keep an eye on next week.
Celestia (TIA)
- Unlock date: October 30
- Number of tokens unlocked: 175.59 million TIA
- Current circulating supply: 220.16 million TIA
Celestia, a modular data availability network, simplifies blockchain launches. On October 30, Celestia will unlock 175.56 million TIA tokens, valued at $920 million, and allocate these coins to early backers and initial core contributors. This massive unlock has sparked concerns about potential selling pressure.
“While some argue for a “bullish unlock” due to OTC activities, simple market dynamics tell a different story. The tokenomics design shows concerning flaws that can’t be ignored. TIA has potential for 3-digits IF the tokenomics weren’t so manipulated. But with VCs having such enormous profit margins and this aggressive unlock structure, we’re looking at significant downward pressure,” one X user wrote.

John Deaton Loses Senator Bid to Elizabeth Warren
US Senator Elizabeth Warren secured her third term in Massachusetts. She defeated Republican challenger John Deaton, a high-profile attorney and advocate for cryptocurrency.
The Associated Press announced the victory on Tuesday night at around 8 p.m. as Warren claimed 73% of the vote compared to Deaton’s 26%.
Deaton faced an uphill battle in his first political campaign despite his popularity within the crypto community as an outspoken XRP advocate and broader calls for friendly regulation. He emerged as a Republican Senate nominee by defeating rivals Robert Antonellis and Ian Cain in a three-way primary.
His campaign received significant support from prominent figures in the crypto industry, including billionaire Mark Cuban. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also endorsed Deaton, commending his commitment to advocating for the digital asset sector. This backing raised Deaton’s profile and highlighted the contrast between him and Warren, particularly in their differing views on cryptocurrency regulation.

Throughout his campaign, Deaton focused on his vision for a balanced regulatory approach to crypto. In an interview with BeInCrypto, he previously expressed his belief that “overregulation” would stifle innovation and harm American competitiveness.
This stance resonated with crypto advocates. Nevertheless, it struggled to capture a broad base of support among traditional voters in Massachusetts. Warren’s record as a seasoned legislator held strong appeal.
Meanwhile, Senator Warren, a powerful figure known for her prior stance against the crypto industry, softened her tone in recent weeks.
“I’m all for having a cryptosystem if people want to buy and sell crypto. All I want is for them to follow the same rules as everyone else,” Warren said.
Previously, she had called for strict measures to rein in crypto, often framing it as a risk to consumers and a tool for financial crime. Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange, has been a vocal critic of Warren’s approach to digital assets, often labeling her perspective as “outdated” and “overly restrictive.”
Warren’s victory likely ensures that regulatory scrutiny of digital assets will remain on the agenda in Washington. However, her recent shift from harsh critique to a more balanced tone could signal a new phase in the crypto-regulation debate.
Although Deaton lost by a large margin, his campaign showcased the increasing prominence of cryptocurrency issues in US politics. His platform resonated with crypto-friendly voters and industry advocates who view the sector as the future of finance.
Despite his defeat, Deaton struck a conciliatory tone in his concession speech. He extended an offer to collaborate on areas of mutual interest, suggesting potential bipartisan efforts even on contentious topics.
“I just called Senator Warren and congratulated her on her victory. If there was something that you think I could be helpful with, for example, women’s reproductive rights or issues we agree upon… I wouldn’t hesitate to offer my assistance,” Deaton said.

Moving forward, Deaton said he would continue advocating for clear and reasonable crypto policies. Specifically, he would remain involved in the Ripple versus SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) case regarding XRP’s status.
