- World Assets, operating under World Foundation, executed $65M in OTC transactions for WLD tokens across four separate buyers beginning March 20.
- The average sale price stood at approximately $0.2719 per token, translating to around 239 million WLD tokens transferred.
- Approximately $25M of the sold tokens remain locked for a six-month period.
- WLD reached an unprecedented low of approximately $0.24 on Saturday, marking a ~97% decline from its $11.82 high in March 2024.
- An extensive token unlock representing ~52.5% of the total token supply is set for July 23, 2026.
World Assets, a subsidiary entity of the World Foundation, has finalized over-the-counter sales totaling $65 million with four distinct counterparties during the past week. The initial transaction settlement occurred on March 20, 2026.
Each token was sold for roughly $0.2719 on average, indicating that approximately 239 million WLD tokens were transferred across all transactions. The sales were executed through a dedicated multisig wallet controlled by World Assets.
Out of the total $65 million in proceeds, tokens valued at $25 million are bound by a six-month lockup restriction. This mechanism constrains the immediate liquidity of these tokens on secondary markets.
The proceeds are allocated toward operational expenses, research initiatives, production of Orb verification devices, and expansion of the overall ecosystem infrastructure.
Blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain previously identified a movement of 117 million WLD tokens—valued at approximately $39 million—sent to Binance and FalconX on March 21. The transaction resulted in the project receiving roughly $35 million in USDC, suggesting a sale price around $0.30 during that period.

The Coin Bureau analyst account on X highlighted the development, reporting that World Foundation finalized OTC deals worth $65M across four buyers, with tokens priced at approximately $0.2719 and $25M subject to a six-month lock.
These transactions align with World Foundation’s established pattern of treasury liquidations. During April 2024, the organization (formerly known as Worldcoin Foundation) announced intentions to sell 0.5 million to 1.5 million WLD weekly to institutional purchasers. Subsequently, in May 2025, the project secured $135 million from investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital Crypto.
The current OTC sale price of $0.2719 represents a significant discount compared to previous fundraising rounds. WLD was valued at $1.13 during the May 2025 capital raise and $5.43 when the April 2024 sales program was announced.
WLD Token Plunges to Historic Low
WLD declined to an unprecedented bottom of approximately $0.2444 on Saturday. Currently, the token is trading near $0.27. This represents a staggering 97% collapse from its all-time high of approximately $11.82 achieved in March 2024.
The token presently maintains a market capitalization near $850 million, while its fully diluted valuation sits at roughly $2.7 billion.
Significant Token Unlock on the Horizon
According to DefiLlama data, a substantial community token unlock is scheduled to occur on July 23, 2026. This event encompasses approximately 52.5% of WLD’s 10 billion total token supply—representing about 169% of the existing circulating supply—with tokens vesting at a rate of roughly 4.79 million WLD daily.
Eightco Holdings, a Nasdaq-listed company that established a WLD treasury position in September 2025, controls 277 million WLD tokens as of March 20, positioning it as the largest publicly traded institutional holder.
