Worldcoin (WLD) Plummets to Record Low as Foundation Offloads $65M in Tokens

Key Highlights

• World Assets, operating under the World Foundation umbrella, executed $65M in OTC token transactions with four buyers beginning March 20.
• The sale price averaged approximately $0.2719 per token, representing about 239 million WLD in total volume.
• Tokens valued at $25M are restricted by a six-month lock-up arrangement.
• The WLD token plunged to an unprecedented low of roughly $0.24 on Saturday, marking a ~97% decline from its $11.82 March 2024 high.
• An extensive unlock event affecting approximately 52.5% of the total token supply is slated for July 23, 2026.

The World Foundation’s operational arm, World Assets, has finalized over-the-counter sales totaling $65 million in WLD tokens across four separate counterparties during the past seven days. The initial settlement occurred on March 20, 2026.

Each token was sold at a mean price of roughly $0.2719, indicating a total transfer of approximately 239 million WLD tokens. All transactions were executed through World Assets’ designated multisignature wallet infrastructure.

From the $65 million proceeds, tokens representing $25 million are bound by a six-month restriction period. This mechanism prevents immediate resale of these holdings in secondary markets.

The capital raised will be allocated toward operational expenses, research initiatives, manufacturing of Orb verification devices, and comprehensive ecosystem expansion efforts.

Blockchain intelligence platform Lookonchain previously identified a movement of 117 million WLD tokens—valued at approximately $39 million—to Binance and FalconX on March 21. The organization received roughly $35 million in USDC as compensation, suggesting a per-token price around $0.30 during that transaction.

Coin Bureau’s analyst account on X highlighted the development, observing that World Foundation finalized OTC transactions worth $65M across four parties, with individual tokens priced at ~$0.2719 and $25M subject to a six-month restriction.

This transaction continues a recurring trend of WLD treasury liquidations. During April 2024, the organization—then operating as Worldcoin Foundation—outlined intentions to distribute between 0.5 million and 1.5 million WLD weekly to institutional purchasers. By May 2025, the initiative secured $135 million from investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital Crypto.

The current OTC rate of $0.2719 represents a significant discount compared to previous funding rounds. WLD was valued at $1.13 during the May 2025 capital raise and $5.43 when the April 2024 distribution plan was announced.

WLD Token Reaches Historic Price Floor

WLD recorded an unprecedented low of approximately $0.2444 this past Saturday. Currently, the digital asset is trading near $0.27. The token has experienced roughly a 97% correction from its March 2024 zenith of nearly $11.82.

WLD presently maintains a market capitalization hovering around $850 million with a fully diluted valuation estimated at approximately $2.7 billion.

Substantial Token Unlock Event on Horizon

A significant community token release is programmed for July 23, 2026, according to DefiLlama information. This event encompasses approximately 52.5% of WLD’s aggregate 10 billion token allocation—representing about 169% of existing circulating supply—with tokens becoming available at a daily rate of roughly 4.79 million WLD.

Nasdaq-listed Eightco Holdings, which established a WLD treasury position in September 2025, maintains 277 million WLD tokens as of March 20, positioning it as the largest publicly traded institutional holder.
