Vesting contracts released 101,622,256 Bitway (BTW) tokens on November 2, 2026, at 08:00 UTC, a batch worth roughly $110 million at the reported mark. The release did not mint new supply or raise the 10 billion BTW maximum; it only freed tokens that vesting schedules had held back. The next release is due on December 2, 2026.

Bitway runs four Ethereum-based vesting contracts that govern these monthly releases, according to tokenomics trackers. The unlocked batch equals about 1 percent of the 10 billion maximum supply — roughly one token in a hundred of everything that will ever exist. The tokens can now move and trade.

An unlock does not force selling. Some holders may keep their allocations; others may deploy tokens for ecosystem work, incentives, or planned transfers. Traders still watch the calendar because large frees can lift float. Real pressure depends on what the unlocked wallets do next.

Why is this unlock drawing trader attention?

The gap between the release's value and market liquidity is the operative fact. Late-October daily volume in BTW sat roughly between $5 million and $7 million. The November unlock carried a reported value near $110 million — roughly 16 to 22 times that daily turnover.

That mismatch is why the market follows Bitway's monthly vesting calendar. Even modest selling can move price when liquidity is light. Demand and volume will decide how much of the free float actually reaches the market.

BTW has seen sharp swings in recent months. The token's prior record print was just under $2.75 on October 14, 2026, before a pullback. CoinMarketCap showed BTW trading near $1.22 around the unlock window — down more than half from that peak. Buyers now have to prove they can absorb the fresh float; thin volume would make any large unlock more visible on the tape.

The $110 million figure is a mark-to-market estimate, not a sum of cash entering or leaving. Spot value still tracks whatever BTW actually clears in the market.

What comes next on the vesting calendar?

The next Bitway release is set for December 2, 2026. The project is due to free about 101.6 million BTW each month through February 2027 — three more batches at the current pace.

From March 2027, additional vesting contracts are slated to begin releasing. Monthly frees could then rise to about 225.2 million BTW, more than doubling the current pace. That step-up keeps Bitway's supply calendar firmly in view.

The open question is absorption, not issuance: whether demand can take the larger batches when they arrive. Until then, each monthly unlock remains a scheduled test of BTW's liquidity — one that December 2 will repeat.
