The company’s total asset value is $321 million, with its WLD holdings accounting for a significant portion. At the same time, the company has also invested $90 million in OpenAI, showing long-term confidence in the World ecosystem.

2️⃣ Tokenomics optimization is positive for long-term value The WLD token unlock rate will be automatically reduced by 43% starting July 24. The daily unlock amount will decrease from about 5.10 million tokens to about 2.90 million tokens. Specifically, the community token unlock rate will drop by 50%, while the team and investor token unlocks will drop by 32%. This move stems from established on-chain contract arrangements, aiming to gradually reduce the timing of future sell-pressure and help ease supply pressure, supporting mid- to long-term price stability.

3️⃣ Stable circulating supply; clear unlock progress Currently, WLD has unlocked 4.9 billion tokens (49% of the total supply), of which the circulating amount is about 3.3 billion tokens. The remaining 9.5 billion tokens will continue to be unlocked linearly over 15 years, with no single-day concentrated release node, ensuring the predictability of token supply and market stability.
