Times are in the zone shown. Moon is the phase at noon UTC on the UTC date. Dollar values for unlocks use DefiLlama's prices from Oct 31, so they move with the market.
The moon column is our thing: it shows the real moon phase on each date (at noon UTC). It's there because we like it, not because the moon moves prices.
What's coming right after
- Tue, Nov 10, 8:30am ET: US CPI for October (BLS). More on our CPI dates page.
- Wed, Nov 11: PUMP unlocks about $29M (DefiLlama). The SEC also has to act on Nasdaq ISE's crypto-ETF options filing (our ETF page).
- The big one: Monad's first insider unlock lands Tue, Nov 24. See November unlocks.
Where the Fed stands: on Oct 28 the FOMC held its rate at 3.75% to 4% on a 10 to 2 vote, and the next decision is Dec 9. Details on the FOMC dates page.
