Worldcoin will cut daily WLD token unlocks by 43% on July 24, with 4.9 billion tokens still awaiting distribution. The reduction lowers sell-pressure in the short term but leaves a significant supply overhang that demand must absorb. Nearly half of WLD's total supply had already been unlocked by April 2026.
Worldcoin will cut daily WLD token unlocks by 43% on July 24, with 4.9 billion tokens — roughly half the total supply — still awaiting distribution.
The reduction, announced by the Worldcoin Foundation, lowers the daily unlock rate from its current pace as the project seeks to manage token supply entering circulation, according to the foundation's published tokenomics schedule.
Nearly half of WLD's total supply had already been unlocked by April 2026, per the project's vesting timeline. The remaining 4.9 billion tokens represent a significant supply overhang that will now enter the market at a slower pace. Worldcoin, co-founded by OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman, operates on an Ethereum L2 chain built on the OP Stack.
The 43% reduction in daily unlocks is a short-term bullish signal, as it reduces immediate sell-pressure from token distributions. However, the sheer size of the remaining supply means demand must prove itself over time — if accumulation does not absorb these unlocks, the overhang could exert sustained downward pressure on WLD's price. Market participants will monitor unlock velocity and on-chain accumulation patterns in the weeks following the July 24 adjustment.
