World Foundation’s subsidiary, World Assets, has completed $65 million in over-the-counter WLD token sales with four counterparties over the past week. The first settlement was completed on March 20, 2026.
The tokens were sold at an average price of approximately $0.2719 each, meaning roughly 239 million WLD tokens were sold in total. Transactions were processed through a designated World Assets multisig wallet.
Of the $65 million raised, $25 million worth of tokens carry a six-month lockup period. This limits how quickly those tokens can be resold on the open market.
The funds are earmarked for core operations, research and development, Orb device manufacturing, and broader ecosystem development.
On-chain analytics firm Lookonchain had already flagged a transfer of 117 million WLD tokens — worth about $39 million — to Binance and FalconX on March 21. The project received around $35 million in USDC in return, implying a sale price near $0.30 at the time.

Coin Bureau analyst account on X posted about the news, noting that World Foundation closed OTC sales totaling $65M with four counterparties, with tokens sold at ~$0.2719 each and $25M locked for six months.
This follows a pattern of WLD treasury sales. In April 2024, the then-named Worldcoin Foundation planned to sell between 0.5 million and 1.5 million WLD per week to institutional firms. In May 2025, the project raised $135 million from backers including Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital Crypto.
The latest OTC price of $0.2719 is well below those prior raises. WLD was trading at $1.13 during the May 2025 raise and $5.43 during the April 2024 announcement.
WLD Price Hits All-Time Low
WLD touched an all-time low of approximately $0.2444 on Saturday. At the time of writing, the token trades around $0.27. It has fallen roughly 97% from its peak near $11.82 in March 2024.
WLD currently holds a market cap of around $850 million and a fully diluted valuation of about $2.7 billion.
Major Token Unlock Approaching
A large community token unlock is scheduled for July 23, 2026, per DefiLlama data. The event covers roughly 52.5% of WLD’s total 10 billion token supply — about 169% of the current float — with tokens vesting at approximately 4.79 million WLD per day.
Nasdaq-listed Eightco Holdings, which launched a WLD treasury in September 2025, holds 277 million WLD tokens as of March 20, making it the largest publicly traded holder.
