Worldcoin Token Unlock: $554M of Early Investors and Team Tokens to Be Released

Worldcoin, a blockchain-based project aiming to create a global digital identity system, is set to unlock a significant number of its tokens on July 24, 2023. According to on-chain crypto analyst EmberCN, approximately 2.38 billion WLD tokens, worth around $554.5 million, will be unlocked for investors and the team. The unlocking of these tokens is part of Worldcoin's previously announced plan to extend the unlock period for about 80% of its token allocation for investors and team members from 3 years to 5 years. The tokens will now be unlocked linearly over 4 years. The Worldcoin Foundation has been preparing for the token unlock, including transferring 990 million WLD tokens to an anonymous address recently. The foundation has stated that it believes the token unlock will have a positive impact on the project and its ecosystem. It is important to note that the token unlock may lead to increased volatility in the price of WLD tokens. Investors should carefully consider the risks involved and do their own research before making any investment decisions.
