Crypto week ahead, 9 November 2026: token unlocks and the macro dates
Updated November 2026
Published 9 November 2026. All times are UK time (GMT).
This week's crypto calendar is short on fixed events. Two scheduled token unlocks fall inside it, Aptos (APT) on Wednesday 11 November and Starknet (STRK) on Sunday 15 November, and Arbitrum (ARB) follows on Monday 16 November. The macro date with the widest reach is US consumer price inflation on Tuesday at 13:30.
This page lists dates, not expectations. A scheduled event tells you when something happens, not which way prices go.
Token unlocks scheduled this week
A token unlock is the date when tokens held back under a project's vesting schedule become transferable to the people they were allocated to, such as early contributors, investors or a foundation. Whether any of them are then sold is not known in advance. For the basics, see what a token is.
Date | Token | Who receives the unlocked tokens |
|---|---|---|
Wednesday 11 November | Aptos (APT) | |
Sunday 15 November | Starknet (STRK) | |
Monday 16 November (next week) | Arbitrum (ARB) |
The dates and recipients come from the Tokenomist unlock tracker, whose pages were last updated at 12:55 UTC on 9 November. Those pages did not show the amount or the time of day for these three unlocks, so neither is given here. Each project's own announcement is the place to check both.
The macro dates that reach crypto this week
Crypto began trading more closely with stocks in 2020. IMF researchers found that the correlation between bitcoin and the S&P 500 rose from 0.01 in 2017 to 2019 to 0.36 in 2020 to 2021. That is why crypto traders watch the same economic calendar as equity traders.
- Monday 9 November, 01:30 (already out): China's October figures. Consumer prices rose 0.7% on the year and factory-gate prices rose 5.7%.
- Tuesday 10 November, 13:30: US CPI for October. In September, the index rose 3.7% over 12 months.
- Thursday 12 November, 07:00: UK GDP, first estimate for July to September.
- Friday 13 November, 13:30: US producer prices for October.
The full list, with previous readings for each release, is in this week's Financial agenda.
Weekend note
Crypto markets trade every day, while the releases above all fall in weekday hours. The Starknet unlock falls on a Sunday, when stock and bond markets are closed.
Crypto prices can move sharply around scheduled events, in either direction, and a calendar says nothing about which. For what that means in practice, see volatility.
