Worldcoin Drops 6% Amid Alameda Research 1.5 Million Token Sale, Will WLD Price Hold?

Share This Post

Worldcoin, the crypto project co-founded by OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman, recently saw its token’s price drop over 6% following Alameda Research’s continued sales. Some analysts believe WLD’s price could continue to move sideways before recovering its bullish momentum.

Alameda Goes On A Worldcoin Sell-off

On-chain data analysis firm SpotOnChain revealed that Alameda Research has sent part of its WLD holdings to crypto exchanges for the past two months. The report shared that, since early August, FTX’s sister company has transferred 1.56 million WLD tokens to Binance.

The firm has sent around 143,770 WLD tokens, worth around $2.51 million, every week since August 9, selling the tokens in 10 batches at an average price of $1.6. The news came two days after US Bankruptcy Judge John Dorsey approved FTX’s repayment plan.

The approval allows the crypto exchange to pay customers between $14.7 billion and $16.5 billion in recovered crypto assets. Alameda received around $8 billion of FTX users’ misappropriated funds, allegedly used for the fund’s trading operations.

Some suggest that the sell-off is linked to FTX’s repayment plan, which is expected to start soon and could signify further selling pressure from the companies. Per SpotOnChain’s report, Alameda’s wallet holds 23.44 million WLD tokens worth around $43 million.

At its current selling rate, it could take over three years to completely unload Alameda’s Worldcoin holdings. Additionally, other altcoins could face selling pressure from the company.

The wallet holds $98.8 million in other cryptocurrencies, including 100.9 million Stargate Finance (STG), 1.78 million Mantle (MNT), and 98.86 million BitDAO (BIT), now MNT. The company’s BIT holdings, valued at $68 million, could start being sold in November, as the 3-year no-sale commitment with BitDAO ends.

WLD Price Reacts To The News

Following the sell-off report, Worldcoin saw a 6% dip in the daily timeframe. The token’s price dropped from the $1.98 mark to the $1.77 support zone in the last 24 hours, representing a 4.5% decline in WLD’s biweekly performance.

The cryptocurrency registered a remarkable 31% weekly surge in late September after Worldcoin announced its expansion to three new countries. As reported by NewsBTC, the crypto project revealed it was bringing its World ID services to Guatemala, Poland, and Malaysia.

The news, alongside the crypto market’s recovery, propelled the token’s price above the $2 mark, which was momentarily held. Since then, the token has struggled to reclaim the key support zone, hovering between $1.58-$2.03 levels for the past week.

Crypto analyst Yuiry from BikoTrading noted that WLD’s price retested the $1.5 crucial level after October 1’s drop, bouncing around 33% from this level. As the token continues trying to retest the $2 resistance level, the analyst expects it to move within its new $1.8-1.98 range for a few days before breaking above it.

As of this writing, WLD is trading at $1.8, an 8.7% and 27.4% increase in the weekly and monthly timeframes.
