Bitway moved approximately 101.62 million BTW into circulation on November 2, a scheduled vesting release valued at roughly $110 million at the reported mark. The event is another monthly step in the altcoin's vesting schedule rather than a mint that expands the token's fixed 10 billion BTW supply cap. The next unlock is slated for early December.

Scheduled Release of 101,622,256 BTW

Tokenomics trackers logged the release on November 2, 2026, at 08:00 UTC. Vesting contracts unlocked 101,622,256 BTW — tokens that already existed under the published schedule — allowing them to move and trade.

The unlock created no new supply and did not raise the maximum. It simply freed tokens that vesting agreements had previously restricted. Bitway operates four Ethereum-based vesting contracts that handle these monthly distributions. Locked-then-released schedules of this kind are a common structure in crypto token launches: smart contracts hold allocations and release them in tranches on a published timeline, rather than making an entire supply tradable at once.

The batch represents roughly 1% of the 10 billion maximum supply. At the reported mark, the release carried a value of about $110 million, though spot value continues to track whatever BTW clears at in the open market.

An unlock does not compel selling. Some holders may retain their allocations, while others may route tokens toward ecosystem work, incentives, or planned transfers. Traders nonetheless follow the vesting calendar closely because large releases can expand circulating float, and actual selling pressure depends on what unlocked wallets do next.

Price Context Around the Unlock

BTW has swung sharply in recent months. The token set its prior record print just under $2.75 on October 14, 2026, before pulling back.

CoinMarketCap showed BTW trading near $1.22 around the unlock window. Buyers must now demonstrate they can absorb the fresh float, and thin volume would make any large unlock more visible on the tape.

Daily volume in late October sat roughly between $5 million and $7 million — a fraction of the November unlock's reported $110 million value. Put differently, the unlock equaled roughly two to three weeks of that late-October volume. That gap explains why traders monitor Bitway's monthly vesting calendar: even modest selling can move the price when liquidity is light. Demand and volume ultimately determine how much of the freed float reaches the market.

December Unlock Ahead, Larger Releases From March

The next Bitway release is set for December 2, 2026. The project is scheduled to free roughly 101.6 million BTW each month through February 2027.

From March 2027, additional vesting contracts are slated to begin unlocking, with monthly releases potentially rising to about 225.2 million BTW — more than double the current pace, and equivalent to roughly 2.3% of the maximum supply each month. That step-up will keep Bitway's supply calendar in focus as traders assess whether demand can absorb the larger batches when they arrive.
