Sam Altman-backed World completed a $65 million OTC sale of 239 million WLD tokens at $0.2719 each. $25 million worth of tokens are locked for six months, with funds allocated to operations, R&D, orb production, and ecosystem development.

Eightco said its treasury totaled about $436 million as of June 24, including indirect OpenAI exposure, Beast Industries equity, 16,278 ETH, 283.45 million WLD, and roughly $149 million in cash and stablecoins.

Tokenomist data shows more than $317 million in token unlocks scheduled from February 23 to March 2, with major one-time releases led by SUI, JUP, EIGEN and others, alongside daily linear distributions for WLD, DOGE and more.

Crypto market cap falls 1.8% to $2.57T. Bitcoin at $74,218, Ethereum down 2.53%. Fear & Greed Index slides to 22 (extreme fear). XLM gains 17%, STACCANA rockets 40%. Regulatory, hack, and stablecoin developments dominate.

Robinhood stock (HOOD) has decoupled from Bitcoin after months of tight correlation, as investors shift focus to prediction markets, AI trading tools, and international expansion. The company raised $2B in convertible notes, and prediction market revenue is expected to hit $586M by 2026.

Analysts are watching WLD resistance at $2.21, $4.14 and $11.95, while near-term support sits around $0.33. A hold above that level could reopen the path toward $0.65-$0.68.

Worldcoin plunged to $0.4193 as traders questioned whether recent bullish endorsements of WLD, HYPE, NEAR, and ZEC were used to attract exit liquidity. Market volatility and declining BTC added to the skepticism.

Strategy added 1,550 BTC worth $101 million, lifting its holdings to 845,256 coins, yet bitcoin stayed near $62,600 as derivatives data pointed to weak risk appetite across the crypto market.
