The first settlement took place on March 20, and the average sale price came to about $0.2719 per token.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>That pricing means the sales covered roughly 239 million WLD tokens in total. World Foundation also said $25 million worth of the sold tokens carry a six-month lockup period, while the remaining settlements will move through a designated World Assets multisig wallet.<\/p>\n<p>According to the disclosure, World Assets will use the proceeds for core operations, research and development, orb manufacturing, and ecosystem development. The statement gave the market a clearer view of how the foundation plans to use the newly raised funds.<\/p>\n<p>The disclosure followed on-chain data <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/lookonchain\/status\/2035215337722138712?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">flagged<\/a> by Lookonchain on March 21. The analytics firm tracked a transfer of 117 million WLD tokens, valued at about $39 million, to Binance and FalconX, with about $35 million in USDC received in return. That transaction appears to match part of the broader OTC activity later disclosed by the foundation.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the latest sales came at a much lower price than earlier <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/toshi-and-wld-rally-amid-binance-us-listing-how-high-can-these-tokens-go\/\" target=\"_blank\">WLD<\/a> funding rounds. In May 2025, the project raised $135 million through a WLD sale to backers including Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital Crypto, at a time when WLD traded near $1.13.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, in April 2024, the then-named Worldcoin Foundation said it planned to sell between 0.5 million and 1.5 million WLD per week through private placements to institutional trading firms. At that time, WLD traded near $5.43, which places the new average sale price far below earlier levels.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Market watches price pressure and future token supply<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>WLD traded near $0.27 at publication time after falling to an all-time low of $0.2444 earlier Saturday. The token is down about 97% from its March 2024 peak near $11.82. Its market cap stood near $850 million, while its fully diluted valuation was about $2.7 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The market is also watching a large token unlock scheduled to begin on July 23, 2026, <a href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/unlocks\/worldcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">according<\/a> to DefiLlama data. The event covers about 52.5% of the total 10 billion WLD supply and equals roughly 169% of the current float.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Eightco Holdings, which <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/worldcoin-jumps-41-as-bitmine-backed-eightco-makes-wld-treasury-bet\/\" target=\"_blank\">launched<\/a> a WLD treasury in September 2025, held 277 million WLD as of March 20.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
