Major Milestone 

The Worldcoin community proudly announced a major milestone in its recent statement, disclosing that the World App, Worldcoin’s wallet, has now garnered over 1 million subscribers this week.

On 17 Feb 2024, the World App wallet achieved this remarkable feat, signaling a series of breakthroughs for the Worldcoin project. The surge in the project’s adoption aligns seamlessly with the ongoing rally in WLD prices, creating a positive energy for the Worldcoin ecosystem.

Tokenomics and Supply Dynamics

Examining Worldcoin’s tokenomics, the total supply of 10 billion WLD coins, is valued at an impressive $74.71 billion. Within this framework, the circulating supply accounts for 130.76 million $WLD, making up a modest 1.31% of the overall total.

However, the distribution plan includes 75% for the Worldcoin Community, 9.8% for the Initial Development Team, 13.5% for TFH Investors, and 1.7% for TFH Reserve.

Delving into the top 10 holders collectively own a staggering 9.15 billion $WLD, representing 91.5% of the total supply. Notable holders include Teneo, a 3AC Liquidation (75 million $WLD, $579 million), and Alameda, an FTX Bankruptcy Estate (25 million $WLD, $193 million). 

Worldcoin has successfully raised $240 million across three financing rounds, securing support from major investors, including Blockchain Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital Crypto, Coinbase Ventures, Digital Currency Group, Khosla Ventures, 1confirmation, and Blockchange Ventures.

Smart Trading Tactics

In the past week, three big whales took out a total of 2.8 million $WLD ($21 million) from Binance and OKX.
