Worldcoin Extends Token Lock-Up Period to Stabilize Market Amid Price Surge
Tools for Humanity (TFH), the developer of Worldcoin (WLD), has made a strategic decision to extend the lock-up period for its team members' and investors' WLD tokens.
Originally planned to release 3.3 million tokens daily, the new schedule will now see 2 million tokens released daily starting July 24, 2024. This adjustment aims to moderate market saturation and stabilize the token’s value amidst ongoing trading.
Following the announcement, WLD experienced a notable 23% price increase within 24 hours, trading at $2.84 with a market cap of approximately $784.9 million. However, concerns linger regarding potential selling pressure as more tokens become available in the market over time.
The extended lock-up period, now set at five years for 80% of the tokens, aims to enhance stability within the Worldcoin ecosystem. This revised distribution plan will continue until July 2028, with vesting stretching into 2029.
