An unlock of 101,622,256 BTW tokens, equal to 1% of total supply, is scheduled for November 2, 2026, according to Tokenomics.com. It will be followed on November 3 by the unlock of 640 million KITE tokens, with an estimated value of $73.39 million, according to CoinGecko. The KITE amount represents 6.4% of total supply, the same source said. The BTW schedule allocates the entire unlocked amount to the community, while KITE's unlock is split among investors, the team, advisers and early contributors. The close timing puts the two unlocks on consecutive days, with a clear difference in the size of the distributions and their recipients.

Investors account for 240 million KITE tokens in the unlock, valued at an estimated $27.52 million, according to CoinGecko's breakdown. The team, advisers and early contributors are allocated 400 million tokens, with an estimated value of $45.87 million. This means the larger share of the scheduled unlock goes to those groups combined, compared with investors' allocation. By contrast, the BTW schedule does not divide recipients into multiple groups, listing the community as the recipient of the full amount. The two tokens have different allocation structures despite their unlock dates falling close together.

The BTW unlock schedule runs from March 2, 2026, to March 2, 2030, and includes 49 events totaling 10 billion tokens, according to Tokenomics.com. The page says 41 future unlocks will release 7,088,610,029 tokens, equivalent to 70.9% of total supply. This places the November 2 event within a distribution plan spanning years, rather than making it a standalone event. Bitway's official documents describe BTW as the ecosystem's utility and governance token. They also say holders can stake it to help secure the Bitway Ledger, vote on protocol upgrades and treasury uses.

A monthly trading schedule submitted by the Kite team to Upbit lists estimated maximum circulating amounts rising from 3,677,076,414 KITE tokens at the end of November 2026 to 3,852,713,180 at the end of December. The listed figure reaches 4,028,349,946 at the end of January 2027. According to the schedule, these figures provide a longer-term view of how the estimated maximum circulating amount will evolve after the November unlock. Bitway's documents also describe BTW as the system's utility and governance token, and link its use to staking and access to some Bitway products. The KITE unlock scheduled for November 3 remains split according to the categories identified by CoinGecko, while the BTW schedule allocates the November 2 unlock to the community.
