World Assets, the operational arm of the World Foundation, has finalized $65 million worth of Worldcoin token transactions through private over-the-counter sales involving four separate parties throughout the past seven days. The initial transaction cleared on March 20, 2026.
These tokens changed hands at a mean price point of around $0.2719 apiece, translating to approximately 239 million WLD tokens in aggregate volume. All settlements were executed via a dedicated multi-signature wallet controlled by World Assets.
From the total $65 million proceeds, tokens representing $25 million in value come with a mandatory six-month holding restriction. This provision constrains the speed at which these particular tokens can enter secondary markets.
The capital generated will fund essential operations, innovation initiatives, production of Orb verification devices, and expansion of the broader platform ecosystem.
Blockchain intelligence platform Lookonchain previously identified a movement of 117 million WLD tokens—valued at approximately $39 million—directed to Binance and FalconX on March 21. The organization secured roughly $35 million in USDC through this exchange, suggesting a transaction price approaching $0.30 during that timeframe.
The Coin Bureau analyst profile on X highlighted this development, confirming that World Foundation completed OTC transactions worth $65M across four counterparties, with tokens priced at ~$0.2719 and $25M subject to a six-month lock.
This transaction represents a continuation of WLD treasury liquidation strategies. During April 2024, the organization (then operating as Worldcoin Foundation) outlined intentions to liquidate between 0.5 million and 1.5 million WLD tokens weekly to institutional purchasers. Subsequently, in May 2025, the initiative secured $135 million from prominent investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital Crypto.
The current OTC valuation of $0.2719 represents a substantial discount compared to earlier funding rounds. WLD commanded $1.13 during the May 2025 capital raise and $5.43 when the April 2024 sales program was unveiled.
WLD Token Plunges to Record Depths
WLD reached a historic nadir of approximately $0.2444 this past weekend. Current trading activity shows the token hovering near $0.27. The cryptocurrency has experienced a devastating 97% contraction from its zenith of $11.82 recorded in March 2024.
WLD presently maintains a market capitalization hovering around $850 million, while its fully diluted valuation stands at roughly $2.7 billion.
Substantial Token Release on Horizon
According to DefiLlama analytics, a substantial community token release is slated for July 23, 2026. This unlocking event encompasses approximately 52.5% of WLD’s total 10 billion token allocation—representing about 169% of the existing circulating supply—with tokens becoming available at a rate of roughly 4.79 million WLD daily.
Eightco Holdings, publicly traded on Nasdaq and having established a WLD treasury position in September 2025, maintains custody of 277 million WLD tokens as of March 20, positioning it as the largest institutional holder with public disclosure requirements.
