Several crypto tokens are scheduled for sizable unlocks next week, according to data from Token Unlocks, with Humanity Protocol (H) leading the list by value. The project is set to unlock about 266 million H tokens at 8:00 a.m. Beijing time on Aug. 25, an amount equal to roughly 7.92% of its circulating supply and worth about $19.9 million. Huma Finance (HUMA) follows with an unlock of about 459 million tokens at 9:00 p.m. Beijing time on Aug. 26. That tranche is equivalent to around 16.70% of circulating supply and is valued at about $9.5 million. Plasma (XPL) is also on the schedule, with about 88.89 million tokens set to unlock at 8:00 p.m. Beijing time on Aug. 25, worth about $8 million. Other projects listed by Token Unlocks include SoSoValue (SOSO), Falcon Finance (FF), Collector Crypt (CARDS), and Kamino (KMNO). Their planned unlock values range from about $5.6 million to $7.3 million, with unlock ratios spanning 2.57% to 6.35% of circulating supply.

The coming week brings a packed schedule for crypto markets and macro watchers, with token unlocks, exchange actions, protocol upgrades and key US economic releases all on the calendar. Humanity Protocol is set to unlock about 266 million H tokens on Aug. 25 Beijing time, while Huma Finance will unlock roughly 459 million HUMA on Aug. 26. Coinbase is scheduled to halt trading in 10 perpetual contracts, including MEME-PERP and SAND-PERP, and the European Union’s expanded crypto restrictions on Belarus under MiCA will begin to apply on Aug. 25. Macro events are also clustered midweek. The US will release July core PCE, personal spending, second-quarter real GDP revision and durable goods orders on Aug. 26. Nvidia’s earnings are due at 04:00 Beijing time on Aug. 27, with its guidance described in the source material as a key test for the AI capital spending cycle. On Aug. 28, Federal Reserve Chair Warsh is set to make his first appearance at the Jackson Hole global central bank symposium. The week also includes BNB Chain’s Pasteur hard fork, a TRON compatibility upgrade proposal vote, a Zcash holder vote on the scope of NU7, and several additional token unlocks across SOSO, XPL, FF, CARDS and KMNO.

On Aug. 22, HYPE broke above 77 USDT and set another record, while HOOD climbed 11.69% to $106.22. BTC, ETH and SOL all rose in the CEX top-volume list, and coins such as GALA, STX, ENS and BCH posted strong 24-hour gains on OKX. GMGN’s top meme list was led by UP, WWW and Hachi. The update also noted $3 billion in stablecoins minted by Circle and Tether over the past two days, a record $2.739 billion in short liquidations on Aug. 19, and fresh comments from Vitalik Buterin, Brian Armstrong, Tom Lee and CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju.

Binance said it will update leverage levels for multiple assets under its portfolio margin system at 06:00 UTC on Aug. 21, 2026, with the process expected to take about 30 minutes. ADA, BFUSD, BNB, BNSOL, DOGE, RLUSD, SOL, U, USD1, USDE, USDP, USDS, WBETH and XRP will move from 5x to 10x leverage. A separate group of 41 tokens, including 1INCH and AAVE, will be changed from 3x to 5x. Binance also said BANANAS31, KMNO, MUBARAK, NXPC, PROM, SYRUP, TUT and ZRO will be cut from 10x to 5x. The exchange advised users to monitor uniMMR to reduce the risk of potential liquidations.

ChainFeeds’ Aug. 13 research roundup pulls together five separate market narratives that are shaping crypto in Asia and beyond. One report argues that Upbit’s once-powerful listing effect is losing force as the exchange accelerates token additions while trading activity keeps shrinking. Another examines Li Lin’s path from Avenir Group to UMX, framing it as a push toward unified accounts that connect crypto collateral, U.S. equities, and cross-market risk management in one system. The package also looks at South Korea’s persistent outbound crypto demand. Tiger Research says unmet domestic demand for derivatives and broader digital asset products is increasingly being served by offshore exchanges and on-chain venues such as Hyperliquid, with billions of dollars in identifiable capital flows and fee revenue moving abroad. Coin Metrics, meanwhile, breaks down the source of this year’s $41.7 trillion in adjusted stablecoin transfer volume, showing that a large share comes from liquidity provision and flash loans rather than straightforward payment activity. The final piece from Foresight Ventures questions whether perpetual DEXs can rely on token rewards indefinitely, arguing that post-TGE value distribution often shifts away from actual trading contribution toward token ownership.

KMNO briefly hit $0.023 USDT on Bitget, now trading at $0.021 USDT, up 12.75% in 15 minutes. The move may be linked to Upbit's upcoming KMNO/KRW trading pair listing.

Bitcoin briefly fell below $63,000 and hit its lowest level in nearly 10 days before rebounding around $62,700, but it still remains under a key resistance zone ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Traders cited in the report kept a cautious view: resistance sits at $64,000 to $64,400, while liquidity is concentrated lower between $60,000 and $62,000. Analyst Killa said the structure stays range-bound and bearish unless BTC reclaims $65,700 and the weekly open, while Wulf said the real directional move may come after the Fed decision even though buyers have shown up around $62,700. The report also tied crypto price action to a broader cross-asset reset. US semiconductor and memory names stayed weak in late trading, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 4.49%, and selling spread through Micron, SK Hynix ADR, SanDisk, AMD and Corning. In Asia, South Korea’s KOSPI dropped 5.99% after an intraday slide of more than 12%, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 also declined. The piece said some global funds were rotating away from Korean semiconductor exposure and toward Hong Kong tech names and China’s domestic chip narrative, with ChangXin Memory Technology rising 12.66%. Investors are now watching the Fed decision, Chair Waller’s press conference, US GDP and core PCE data, the Bank of Japan meeting, and earnings from Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Coinbase and Strategy.

PANews’ July 27 daily roundup spans regulation, project updates, market commentary, and on-chain flows, with CXMT’s blockbuster stock market debut and several large Ethereum purchases taking center stage. CXMT closed its first trading day up 465.82% at 49 yuan, logged 141.187 billion yuan in turnover, reached a 3.28 trillion yuan market capitalization, and overtook Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to become the largest A-share company by market value. In crypto regulation, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said prediction-market operators should not rely on template-style self-certifications for event contracts, while at least 29 overseas crypto exchange apps were reportedly blocked from new installation on Google Play in South Korea. On the project side, Binance Alpha said it would list AEON and offer an airdrop to eligible users, Storj Labs filed for Chapter 11 restructuring, and WEMIX said contract ownership had been compromised, leading to the unauthorized minting of more than 5.22 million WEMIX. On-chain data in the roundup also showed one address buying 9,046.17 ETH and three newly created wallets buying another 25,425 ETH at an average price of $1,968.
