Worldcoin's Pre-Cliff Fire Sale: $39M OTC Dump Before the July Avalanche

Worldcoin seems to have discreetly unloaded a cool 117 million $WLD tokens, valued at roughly $39 million, via over-the-counter deals. On-chain sleuths spotted the project depositing the bag into Binance and institutional broker FalconX, walking away with about $35 million in $USDC. That math works out to a fire-sale price of nearly $0.30 per token—a classic case of taking the money and running before the music stops.

Currently, $WLD is clinging to life around $0.32, which is a soul-crushing 97% down from its all-time high of $11.7 back in March 2024. That peak was the glorious moment when the AI narrative was so frothy that Sam Altman's mere association made $WLD the degen's favorite speculative side-bet.

A tidal wave of tokens is set to hit the market in July, with over half of the entire $WLD supply scheduled to unlock at once. This isn't just a cliff; it's one of the most proportionally massive token unlocks looming over any major project, promising to make the current float look like a kiddie pool.

On the other side of the table, the Tools for Humanity team, investors, and early contributors are still on the drip feed, receiving tokens daily under a new vesting plan. About 80% of their stash vests over a leisurely five-year spa retreat, with the rest over three years, a gravy train that's been chugging along since July 2024.

Meanwhile, Worldcoin—now operating under the sleeker moniker "World"—keeps building its empire. Its flagship Orb device continues its mission of scanning eyeballs to mint cryptographic proofs of personhood, because nothing says "unique human" like handing your biometrics to a chrome ball. As of March 2026, over 38 million users had signed up for World ID, with about 18 million having gone full cyborg with Orb verification.

The project is also playing digital bouncer, with partnerships from Razer to Tinder, pitching its tech as the ultimate bot-slaying weapon for gamers and lonely hearts alike. In a move for the future, World and Coinbase recently launched the AgentKit beta, aiming to bake identity assurance into the emerging agentic web—a trust layer that hopefully doesn't require another iris scan just to order a pizza.
