Worldcoin's WLD token plummeted to an unprecedented low of $0.24 following the sale of 239 million tokens for $65 million in an over-the-counter transaction. This sale, executed by World Assets, Ltd., was announced on March 28, 2026, but the first tranche was completed a week earlier on March 20.
“This sale funds core operations and activities of the project, research and development, orb production, ecosystem development, and more,” officials from the World Foundation stated.
Among the total amount, tokens valued at $25 million will be locked for six months, while the remainder has been made immediately accessible to buyers. Although the price rebounded slightly to $0.28 after the initial drop, it remains significantly lower—97% beneath its peak of $11.82 seen in March 2024. Currently, Worldcoin's market capitalization is $879 million, a stark contrast to its $3.9 billion valuation from September 2025.
Lido Finance Considers $20M Buyback Amid Price Struggles
In parallel, Lido Finance's LDO token is grappling with a steep decline, trading at $0.30—down nearly 96% from its all-time high of $7.30 in 2021. To stabilize the token's price, Lido DAO is evaluating a one-time buyback of $20 million, which would involve swapping 10,000 stETH from its treasury for LDO. This approach aims to mitigate the market impact, utilizing limit orders or a dollar-cost averaging strategy.
