September 2026 brings another significant round of token unlocks across the Solana ecosystem, with more than a dozen projects scheduled to release additional supply. The month's largest events include $TRUMP, $PUMP, $CARDS, and $YZY, while several other tokens continue predictable linear vesting schedules.

Here is a breakdown of the most notable Solana ecosystem token unlocks scheduled for September 2026.

September Token Unlocks

$TRUMP

The Official Trump token will release 28.271 million $TRUMP through linear vesting during September, valued at approximately $60.25 million. The unlock represents 10.35% of the circulating supply and 2.71% of the total supply.

This makes $TRUMP the month's largest unlock by dollar value. The token remains closely linked to the broader crypto business interests of U.S. President Donald Trump, adding another layer of market attention around the supply event.

$PUMP

Pump.fun will unlock 6.875 billion $PUMP through linear vesting in September, valued at approximately $28.8 million. The release represents 1.73% of circulating supply and 0.82% of total supply.

September marks the third month of the project's recurring monthly distributions following the expiration of its original 12-month cliff in July.

$CARDS

Collector Crypt will unlock 59.26 million $CARDS on September 29, valued at approximately $10.16 million. The release represents 6.35% of the circulating supply and 2.99% of the total supply.

The unlock follows Collector Crypt's confirmation of a major token buyback and burn. Last week, the team confirmed that it had accumulated a total of 22.49 million $CARDS, equivalent to around 5.4% of circulating supply, and subsequently burned the entire amount.

Collector Crypt also crossed $91 million in net revenue in August, less than 3 months after reaching $1 billion in total platform volume. Meanwhile, the $CARDS token turned 1 year old on August 29.

To mark those milestones, Collector Crypt plans to bring back its Gacha Games throughout September. The campaign will feature challenges, competitions, rewards, and other activities across the platform.

$GRASS

Grass will unlock 17.13 million $GRASS across September 27, September 28, and ongoing daily vesting. The release carries an estimated value of $7.24 million and represents 2.53% of the circulating supply and 1.71% of the total supply.

The token enters September after spot trading for $GRASS launched on Coinbase on August 26. The new trading venue gives the token broader market access as Grass continues developing its DePIN network and community ecosystem.

$KMNO

Kamino will unlock 229.17 million $KMNO on September 30, valued at approximately $5.51 million. The release represents 4.21% of the circulating supply and 2.29% of the total supply.

$KMNO’s unlock schedule produces a steady monthly unlock of approximately 229.16 million $KMNO, excluding other emissions such as community initiatives.

More than 8 billion $KMNO has already been unlocked, representing over 80% of the token's total supply. September's release therefore continues an established distribution pattern.

$CLOUD

Sanctum will unlock 10.45 million $CLOUD through linear vesting during September, valued at approximately $207,600. The release represents 1.71% of circulating supply and 1.04% of total supply.

However, the token faces a potentially much larger supply change beyond the scheduled unlock. Sanctum, Solana's largest protocol by DeFi TVL, has proposed burning 259 million $CLOUD tokens. The proposed burn would reduce total supply by roughly 25%, from 1 billion to 741 million tokens.

Sanctum also plans to rename the token ticker from $CLOUD to $SANC. The proposal would not change the token address or its underlying tokenomics.

What to Watch

September's unlock schedule centers on several sizeable supply events, with $TRUMP leading the month at approximately $60.25 million, followed by $PUMP at $28.8 million and $CARDS at $10.16 million.

Meanwhile, $GRASS enters the month after gaining Coinbase spot trading access. Sanctum may also introduce one of the month's most notable supply changes if its proposal to burn 259 million $CLOUD receives approval, potentially reducing total supply by roughly 25% before the planned transition to the $SANC ticker.

As always, token unlocks do not automatically determine price performance but provide only one part of the broader market picture. However, tracking the size of each release, its impact on circulating supply, and developments around each project can help investors better understand changing supply dynamics across the Solana ecosystem.
