World Foundation Confirms $65 Million WLD OTC Sales With Six-Month Partial Lockup

The deal shores up funding as the token trades near $0.27 after setting a new low.

Overview

  • World Foundation’s issuance unit disclosed Saturday it raised $65 million through off‑exchange WLD sales to four buyers, with the first settlement on March 20 and transfers sent from its designated multisig wallet.
  • Tokens changed hands at an average price of about $0.2719, which implies roughly 239 million WLD were sold in the weeklong series of private deals.
  • Buyers agreed to a six‑month lock on $25 million worth of the tokens to slow near‑term resale and ease immediate supply pressure.
  • The organization says the proceeds will fund core operations, research and development, manufacturing of its iris‑scanning Orb devices, and broader ecosystem expansion.
  • WLD trades around $0.27 after touching an all‑time low near $0.24, and a July 23, 2026 community unlock covering about 52.5% of total supply could add significant new tokens to circulation.
