What happened
Cryptorank reviewed 50 tokens over a six-month period. NEAR posted a 131% net gain; MET and ETHFI were low-unlock outperformers, while 2Z, 0G and OPEN fell up to 82% on weak demand and large unlocks. Monthly unlocks are cited at $3B to over $4B, far above typical burns, with BNB Chain's $1.2B October burn the main exception. Hyperliquid burns were $9.61M on November 13, down 66% week on week, and protocol buybacks reached up to $900M in 2026.
