World Foundation subsidiary sells $65 million in WLD tokens through OTC deals as token hits all-time low

World Assets, the token issuance subsidiary of the World Foundation, has recently completed $65 million in over-the-counter WLD token sales with four counterparties, the organization disclosed on X Saturday.

The sales took place over the past week, with the first settlement completed on March 20, according to the post. World Foundation said the deals were conducted at an average price of approximately $0.2719 per token, which translates to roughly 239 million WLD sold in total.

Of the $65 million raised, $25 million worth of the tokens sold carry a six-month lockup period. Remaining settlement transactions will be processed through a designated World Assets multisig wallet, the foundation said.

The proceeds are earmarked for core operations, research and development, orb manufacturing and ecosystem development, according to the post.

The formal disclosure came days after on-chain analytics firm Lookonchain flagged a transfer of 117 million WLD tokens, worth roughly $39 million, to Binance and FalconX on March 21. The project received approximately $35 million in USDC in return for that tranche, implying an effective sale price near $0.30 per token at the time. That transfer appears to represent a portion of the broader $65 million in OTC activity World Foundation disclosed Saturday.

The sale continues a pattern of treasury liquidations by World Assets. In April 2024, the then-named Worldcoin Foundation outlined plans to sell between 0.5 million and 1.5 million WLD tokens per week through private placements to institutional trading firms. In May 2025, the project raised $135 million through a WLD token sale to backers including Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital Crypto for U.S. expansion.

The latest OTC sales land at a significantly lower price point than those prior raises. At $0.2719 per token, the average sale price represents a fraction of the $1.13 WLD was trading at during the May 2025 raise and the $5.43 price during the April 2024 announcement.

WLD was trading at approximately $0.27 at publication time, according to The Block’s Worldcoin Price page, after touching an all-time low of $0.2444 earlier Saturday. The token is down roughly 97% from its peak near $11.82 in March 2024. WLD has a market cap of approximately $850 million and a fully diluted valuation of about $2.7 billion.

Adding to potential supply-side pressure, a major community token unlock event is scheduled to begin on July 23, 2026, according to DefiLlama data. The event covers roughly 52.5% of WLD’s total 10 billion token supply, equivalent to about 169% of the current float, with tokens set to vest at a rate of approximately 4.79 million WLD per day.

Nasdaq-listed Eightco Holdings, which launched a WLD digital asset treasury in September 2025 alongside a $250 million private placement, holds 277 million WLD tokens as of March 20, making it the largest publicly traded holder.
