World Assets Sells 239 Million WLD Tokens for $65 Million

World Assets, a subsidiary of the World Foundation, completed over-the-counter sales of approximately 239 million WLD tokens worth $65 million to four counterparties, with the first settlement on March 20, 2026. The transactions occurred over the following week as the token reached a record low price, highlighting ongoing challenges for the cryptocurrency project formerly known as Worldcoin.

The sales averaged $0.2719 per token and were processed through a multisignature wallet managed by World Assets. Of the proceeds, tokens equivalent to $25 million are subject to a six-month lockup period, which restricts buyers from reselling them on open markets immediately. The foundation stated that the funds will support core operations, research and development, manufacturing of iris-scanning Orb verification devices, and broader ecosystem expansion.

On-chain analytics confirmed portions of the activity, including a transfer of 117 million WLD tokens valued at about $39 million to exchanges Binance and FalconX on March 21. In exchange, the project received roughly $35 million in USDC stablecoins, indicating a sale price near $0.30 for that tranche.
