An important story is making waves across the blockchain ecosystem. Worldcoin said earlier this year that the WLD unlock rate will drop by 43% on July 24 under existing schedules. 9 billion WLD, equal to 49% of the token’s 10 billion total supply, was already unlocked as of Apr. 3 billion WLD in circulation.
That makes the upcoming July cut less a fresh supply shock than a market check on whether slower new emissions can matter when nearly half the supply is already unlocked. WLD now has a test of whether slower emissions can coincide with durable demand once so much supply has already been unlocked. ’s WLD market page showed the token trading near $0.

Market Impact

2 million WLD per day, which is about 803 million fewer WLD entering unlock schedules over a full year. For a token with a total supply of 10 billion, the change is large enough to alter daily supply pressure. Daily emissions shape how much fresh supply must be absorbed by buyers, market makers, and long-term holders, and a lower future unlock rate leaves already-unlocked supply in place.
10 figures put unlocked supply at 4. 9 billion WLD before the July slowdown arrived, making the tension between a slower future drip and an already-large unlocked base. ’s market data showed about 3.
This shift continues to shape the digital-asset landscape, with analysts examining its near-term effects.
