Headline: $77M in tokens set to hit markets Aug. 1 — BEAT takes the spotlight as EIGEN and ZETA also unlock
A wave of scheduled token unlocks totaling roughly $77.07 million is due Aug. 1 (Beijing time), with Audiera’s BEAT accounting for the lion’s share. RootData’s calendar shows 21.25 million BEAT, 38.35 million EIGEN and 44.43 million ZETA will be released to recipients — a supply event that could test liquidity and sentiment across all three projects.
Quick snapshot
- Total scheduled unlocks (RootData): $77.07 million
- BEAT: 21.25M tokens (~$67.78M), 6.87% of circulating supply (per RootData)
- EIGEN: 38.35M tokens (~$7.87M), ~5.18% of circulation (RootData)
- ZETA: 44.43M tokens (~$1.42M), 2.94% of circulation (RootData)
BEAT: Biggest unlock, biggest questions
BEAT is the primary mover to watch. CoinGecko price data had BEAT near $3.16 ahead of the Aug. 1 release after a 32.1% seven-day gain, though the token was about 14% off its weekly high. Daily volume surged to $37.84 million (up 148% day-on-day), but RootData’s $67.78 million unlock value equals nearly 1.8x that reported daily turnover — an outsized flow relative to one day’s trading.
Supply and burn context:
- Using CoinGecko’s 309.27 million circulating-supply figure, a full release would raise tradable BEAT to ~330.52 million.
- Audiera reported weekly revenue of 800,530 BEAT (July 13–20) and burned 797,230 BEAT in that same period, taking cumulative burns to 17.04 million.
- The 21.25M unlock is about 26.7x the latest weekly burn and exceeds cumulative reported burns by ~4.21M tokens. At the current burn pace, a single week of burns would offset only ~3.75% of the incoming allocation, leaving more than 20 million newly unlocked BEAT unmatched by burns.
Technical levels and sentiment:
- Weekly range: $2.19–$3.69; immediate upside barrier at $3.69, first downside reference at the daily low $2.80 and the weekly floor $2.19. A drop from $3.16 to $2.19 would erase roughly 31% of value.
- CrowdWisdom360 flagged a support band around $2.45 (with a retest to $2.60 likely if it holds; a break could target $2.30).
- CoinGecko’s community poll showed 60% bearish, indicating retail concern despite the recent rally.
EIGEN: unlock arrives amid cooling prices
EigenCloud’s scheduled 38.35M EIGEN (RootData) is due at 5 a.m. Beijing time. CoinGecko placed EIGEN near $0.203, down 12.6% over seven days and 7.2% in 24 hours. Daily volume of roughly $16.09 million makes the ~$7.87M unlock equal to about 49% of one day’s turnover — a sizable amount relative to recent trading. Note: CoinGecko lists a slightly smaller 36.82M release; CoinMarketCap’s higher circulating-supply estimate would make the release represent closer to 4.64% of supply instead of RootData’s 5.18%.
ZETA: smaller value, meaningful percentage of daily volume
ZetaChain will add 44.43M ZETA (midnight Beijing time) valued at about $1.42M. ZETA traded near $0.0319 after losses of ~9% over seven days and 5.1% in 24 hours. With daily volume around $4.07 million, the unlock equals roughly 35% of one day’s turnover. CoinGecko breaks ZETA’s release down across recipients: core contributors (13.13M), protocol treasury (12.83M), purchasers/advisers (9.33M), plus allocations for ecosystem growth, user incentives and liquidity incentives.
When the unlocks hit U.S. hours
Beijing’s Aug. 1 schedule falls on July 31 for U.S. traders:
- ZETA midnight (Beijing) = 12:00 p.m. EDT, July 31
- EIGEN 5:00 a.m. (Beijing) = 5:00 p.m. EDT, July 31
- BEAT 9:00 a.m. (Beijing) = 9:00 p.m. EDT, July 31
ZETA and EIGEN will arrive during or shortly after U.S. trading hours, while BEAT comes later in the evening — a timing factor that can affect how quickly unlocked tokens reach exchange order books and how much liquidity is available to absorb sales.
Caveats and what to watch
- None of the on-chain schedules prove recipients will sell immediately. The actual market impact depends on whether tokens go to exchanges, remain in custody, are staked, or are used in treasuries.
- RootData’s USD valuations will shift with market prices before the scheduled times; token counts are fixed under current release schedules.
- Current data implies BEAT is most susceptible to FOMO-driven volatility because it combines a large-dollar unlock, elevated volume, and recent retail interest. EIGEN and ZETA approach the unlock with falling prices and weaker demand, which could temper immediate sell pressure — or amplify downside if recipients sell into thin order books.
Bottom line: Aug. 1’s releases could meaningfully increase tradable supply for these projects. Traders should monitor exchange deposits, order-book liquidity and intraday volume to gauge how much of the unlocked supply actually reaches markets.
