Why These Crypto Coins May Crash Ahead? $JTO, $TIA, $ONDO
Several major token unlocks are set to take place in the coming months, which could potentially de-stabilizing the altcoin market. These unlocks will introduce large amounts of new supply, and as a result, investors are bracing for possible price crashes this month.
Historically, sharp increases in supply without matching demand often lead to market volatility. These unlocks will affect major coins like $JTO, $TIA, and $ONDO. This raises concerns about price declines and market instability.
Crypto Tokens to Watch Out
For instance, $TIA will unlock 175 million tokens, a 390% increase in its circulating supply. According to Cryptorank data, the unlock comes at a time when the coin is already down 79.8% from its ATH. The upcoming unlock might increase the risk of further price drops.
$JTO will experience a 166% supply increase over the next six months, with a major unlock of 135.72 million tokens expecting on December 7. The supply expansion, largely allocated to core contributors and investors, is expected to create selling pressure.
$ONDO developers are set to release $1.14 billion worth of tokens by January 18, increasing its total supply by 134%. Developers will use the majority of these tokens for ecosystem development, though some are reserved for investors.
$ZETA will unlock 53.89 million tokens in September. The unlock will contribute to a total supply increase of 357.94 million tokens by March 2025.Investors are raising concerns about long-term price stability due to this constant stream of supply.
$PORTAL will see a 115% supply increase over the next six months, with 25.61 million tokens scheduled for release on September 29. The company will distribute these tokens to private and public investors
$STG will increase its supply by 42% in the next six months, with gradual unlocks given to team members and early investors. This steady release could trigger moderate price fluctuations.
$WLD, originally slated for a four-year unlock, will now spread its unlocks over five years. The first unlock started on July 24, 2024 and a 37.5% increase in the circulating supply is expected in the next 30 days which will primarily benefit community members and investors.
Potential Market Crash Risk
Over the next six months, a significant volume of token unlocks could trigger substantial price drops. When new supply exceeds demand, prices usually fall, especially if investors promptly sell their unlocked tokens. Historically, large unlocks have caused downward trends in altcoin prices and with many token unlocks scheduled for early September, they may affect market dynamics.
Previous large token unlocks often cause major price fluctuations and increase market volatility. For example, according to data from CoinCarp, $dYdX dropped 61% after its 2.12 million coin unlock in May. Similarly, $PYTH fell by 55%, and $AVAX declined by 66%.
By December, over $750 million worth of coins will be unlocked. Investors aiming to recoup their funds will increase selling pressure. This surge will likely lead to significant fluctuations in the altcoin market.
Tools like the Altcoin Season Index can assist in tracking market movements, helping investors make informed decisions. Additionally, understanding the timing and magnitude of these unlocks is essential for navigating periods of volatility.

Although the Bitcoin price rally has paused above $75,000 a day after Donald Trump’s victory, altcoins have continued their strong show with the Ethereum price taking the lead with 11% gains all the way to $2,850 levels. Investors have a lot of questions as to does this mark the beginning of the much-awaited altseason moving ahead.
Altcoins Steal the Limelight from Bitcoin?
On the day of Donald Trump’s victory on November 6, the Bitcoin price touched its all-time high levels surging all the way to $75,000. While the bulls try to defend these levels, altcoins seem to grabbing the investors’ focus.
The Ethereum price has managed to pull off 12% gains moving all the way to the $2,850 level and eying further rally to its all-time high levels. This comes despite strong selling pressure from Ethereum whales. Popular crypto analyst IncomeSharks noted that the ETH price has given a crucial breakout from the downward trendline slope, which opens the gates for a 75% rally from here to new all-time highs.

Furthermore, after hitting the lower lows over the past few months, the ETH/BTC trading pair has notched up a bit. “With ETH/BTC at 0.035 it definitely makes sense to start hedging,” added Cowen. However, he added that for the bottom formation confirmation, the ETH/BTC pair must end above the 50 DMA.

Apart from Ethereum price surge, other altcoins like Solana made strong gains on Donald Trump’s victory. The Solana price has surged to $188 once again as talks about the approval of spot Solana ETF in the Trump presidency gain traction. As a result, analysts predict an SOL surge to $300 levels from here.
Will BTC Lose the Grip Over the Market?
Some market analysts state that it is still early to call the altseason and expect Bitcoin dominance to grow even further. Also, this could just be the beginning of the next major Bitcoin bull run.
Veteran trader Peter Brandt shared an optimistic outlook for Bitcoin, suggesting it has entered a “sweet spot” in the current bull market halving cycle. According to Brandt, Bitcoin is on track to peak between $130,000 and $150,000 by August or September of next year, marking a potential new high for the cryptocurrency.
Echoing similar thoughts, crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that the next BTC top usually happens after 8 to 12 months following a monthly close above the previous all-time highs. Thus, he expects the next BTC top to happen anywhere between July to November 2025.
Historically, #Bitcoin has reached market tops roughly 8 to 12 months after achieving a monthly close above its previous all-time high.

According to blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant, Bitcoin’s recent all-time high doesn’t signal an overvaluation relative to its cost basis. The firm’s data on the MVRV ratio suggests that BTC remains well below peak levels. Additionally, Bitcoin’s price is close to traders’ average purchase cost, indicating that the market is not currently overheated. These insights point to the potential for continued growth in Bitcoin’s value.

The XRP price has come under the spotlight following Ripple’s recent $250 million XRP transfer. This comes amid bullish predictions for the coin, with analysts saying that its price could enjoy a parabolic rally following Donald Trump’s win.
The XRP Price At Risk With Ripple’s $250 Million Transfer
The XRP price is at risk of a decline following Ripple’s transfer of $250 million worth of XRP to an unknown wallet. Onchain data shows that the crypto firm transferred 470 million XRP to this wallet (rP4X2…sKxv3). This unknown wallet has since transferred 100 million XRP to another wallet (rhWt2…E32hk).
The purpose of the $250 million transfer remains unclear. However, it could relate to Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) services or the ongoing SEC appeal case.
This development comes just a day after XRP whales moved $814 million, indicating whale accumulation. While the Ripple transfer is unlikely to impact the XRP price since it will likely be done over the counter (OTC) if it is a potential sale, it could still create a bearish sentiment among XRP investors.
However, crypto analysts are confident that XRP is currently in bullish territory following Donald Trump’s win in the US presidential elections. The coin could surge up to 3,336% as crypto analyst StephIsCrypto predicted a major above $2 following Trump’s victory.
A Price Surge Above $20 By Year-End
In an X post, Crypto analyst Amonyx made a bold prediction, stating that the XRP price will rise above $20 by year-end. In another X post, the analyst suggested that he was confident that this price surge would happen with the US SEC chair Gary Gensler set to be removed following Donald Trump’s victory.
Gensler’s removal is bullish for the XRP price because he has spearheaded the long-running legal battle against Ripple. The legal battle could have negatively impacted XRP all this time, creating doubts in investors’ minds.
However, with Gensler gone and the Ripple SEC lawsuit likely to end, investors could again become bullish on XRP and look to invest more in the crypto. Crypto analyst Ross Vandermeer also predicted that the XRP price could eventually rise to $1,000 thanks to Donald Trump’s US election victory.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently called on the US president-elect to fire Gary Gensler on day 1, just like he promised. Meanwhile, Ripple chief legal officer (CLO) Stuart Alderoty urged Trump to end the regulation-by-enforcement approach to position the US as the crypto capital.

Ripple chief legal officer (CLO) Stuart Alderoty has revealed how US President-elect Donald Trump can make the United States (US) the crypto capital. The Ripple CLO statement came as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse outlined his checklist for the Trump administration.
Ripple CLO Reveals How Trump Can Make US Crypto Capital
In an X post, Stuart Alderoty called on Donald Trump to move swiftly to end the regulation-by-enforcement approach that the crypto industry has endured and position the US as the crypto capital of the world.
As the Ripple CLO suggested, the US has been unable to claim the title of crypto capital due to its unfavorable regulatory environment. Regulators like the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have clamped down on crypto firms instead of providing regulatory clarity.
However, the Ripple CLO believes that is likely to change under Donald Trump. In his post, he also revealed that the president-elect had taken time to listen to Ripple’s story when they met and has also prioritized crypto as a key policy issue.
Indeed, the US president-elect was very vocal about crypto during his presidential campaign, making several promises to the crypto industry. As part of his promises regarding Bitcoin and the crypto industry, Donald Trump said he would fire US SEC Chair Gary Gensler on day one in office.
This is one of the major promises the crypto community is holding on to, considering that Gensler has spearheaded the anti-crypto crusade in the country.
Brad Garlinghouse Outlines Checklist For Donald Trump’s Administration
Before the Ripple CLO’s comments, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse had outlined his checklist for the Trump administration’s first 100 days in office. First, he stated that Trump should fire Gensler on Day 1, just as promised.
In Gensler’s place, Garlinghouse recommended that the president-elect appoint either Christopher Giancarlo or Robinhood CLO Dan Gallagher, as they will be “massive upgrades” in rebuilding the rule of law at the SEC. Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz also recently mentioned pro-crypto US SEC commissioner Hester Peirce as one of those who could also replace Gensler.
The Ripple CEO also asked Trump to get the US Congress to move the digital asset market structure bill forward in the Senate. Lastly, he asked if they could get some clarity for Ethereum, similar to that of Bitcoin and XRP since they are recognized as non-securities.
While Brad Garlinghouse didn’t endorse any candidate, Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty and Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen made their stance known through donations. The Ripple CLO donated $300,000 to the Donald Trump campaign, while Larsen donated up to $11 million to Kamala Harris’ campaign.
