“This sale funds core operations and activities of the project, research and development, orb production, ecosystem development, and more,” project representatives stated.

The first tranche was executed on March 20, but the announcement came a week later. Of the total $65 million, tokens worth $25 million will be locked for six months, while the rest became immediately available to buyers.

Following the announcement, WLD dropped to $0.24, marking the lowest point in the asset's history. At the time of writing, prices had recovered to $0.28, but this is still 97% below the peak of $11.82 reached in March 2024.

Worldcoin's market capitalization stands at $879 million, down from a peak of $3.9 billion in September 2025.

Lido's Buyback Plan  

The LDO token from the staking platform Lido Finance is facing tough times, trading nearly 96% below its all-time high of $7.30 set in 2021. The current price is $0.30.

To support the price, Lido DAO is considering a one-time buyback of $20 million. This initiative involves exchanging 10,000 stETH from the organization's treasury for LDO.

To minimize market impact, limit orders or a DCA strategy will be employed. Each buyback batch must be approved by token holders, and a report on the results will follow completion.

“This is not a typical fluctuation. It represents one of the most significant discrepancies between LDO's market price and the protocol's fundamental metrics in the token's history,” the proposal authors noted.

The coin is trading at a discount to Ethereum at a rate of 0.00016, approximately 63% below the two-year median, according to developers. Its market cap has plummeted to $275 million, down from over $3.2 billion in 2024.

This proposal comes amid a 23% drop in Lido's revenue to $40.5 million in 2025, primarily due to a 23% decrease in staking fees to $37.4 million.

Despite this, the project remains a leader in liquid staking, holding 23.2% of all staked ETH.

In the Lido DAO, it was emphasized that the protocol's fundamentals remain strong: rewards have decreased by 20% amid a general market pullback, while costs fell by 13% in 2025 compared to 2024. The fee rate increased from 5% to over 6.1%, boosting revenue from fees.

As a reminder, at the beginning of 2026, the Lido team launched a modular staking infrastructure for stVaults.
