WLD Slides 9% as Token Unlock and Regulatory Hurdles Offset $135M Funding Momentum

Worldcoin (WLD) is currently trading at $1.393 with a 24-hour trading volume of approximately $797 million, ranking #48 by market capitalization; the token experienced a 9.43% decline over the past 24 hours, with a price range between $1.34 and $1.59. The recent price decrease follows a period of heightened volatility after Worldcoin announced a $135 million funding round from major investors and introduced World ID fees for applications, which initially drove a sharp price surge; however, subsequent profit-taking, ongoing regulatory challenges in certain jurisdictions, and the unlocking of over 37 million WLD tokens appear to have contributed to the recent pullback in price despite strong liquidity and active trading.
