World Assets, a subsidiary of the World Foundation, has disclosed $65 million in over-the-counter sales of WLD tokens to four counterparties, marking one of the largest recent treasury transactions tied to the project. The first settlement began on March 20, with tokens sold at an average price of about $0.2719, representing roughly 239 million WLD tokens transferred.
A portion of the transaction includes $25 million worth of tokens placed under a six-month lockup, while remaining settlements are scheduled to move through a designated multisignature wallet. Funds raised from the sale are intended to support operations, research and development, orb manufacturing, and ecosystem growth.
WLD Price Declines Sharply Amid Continued Treasury Sales
The disclosure followed Lookonchain data showing 117 million WLD tokens, valued near $39 million, moved to trading firms Binance and FalconX on March 21, with about $35 million received in USDC, implying a sale price near $0.30 per token.
Market performance has weakened significantly. WLD recently dropped to an all-time low of about $0.2444, representing a decline of roughly 97% from its March 2024 peak near $11.82. At publication, the token traded near $0.27, with a market capitalization of approximately $850 million and a fully diluted valuation close to $2.7 billion.
Upcoming Token Unlock May Increase Supply Pressure
Additional supply risks are expected as a major token unlock event begins on July 23, 2026. The release covers roughly 52.5% of the total 10 billion WLD supply, equivalent to about 169% of the current circulating float, with an estimated 4.79 million WLD scheduled to vest daily.
Institutional involvement remains notable, with Eightco Holdings, listed on Nasdaq, holding 277 million WLD tokens as of March 20, making it the largest publicly traded holder of the asset.
