Worldcoin (WLD) Price: Robinhood Lists Token as WLD Falls 15% on Altman Controversy

TLDR

• Robinhood officially listed Worldcoin (WLD) on its crypto trading platform on June 23, 2026
• WLD dropped nearly 15% in 24 hours, trading around $0.53 at time of writing
• Allegations link co-founder Sam Altman to payments meant to artificially influence WLD’s price
• BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes previously sold his entire WLD holdings this month
• Worldcoin is set to reduce its token unlock rate starting July 24, 2026

Robinhood added Worldcoin (WLD) to its crypto trading platform on June 23, 2026, according to an official post on X by the brokerage. The move gives the token exposure to a wider retail audience. Despite the listing, WLD fell nearly 15% in the same 24-hour period, trading around $0.53.

The listing was expected to boost demand. Instead, traders appeared reluctant to buy in. WLD remains well below its recent June peak near $0.70.

Podcaster Katie Miller highlighted a report claiming that leadership at Orb, a startup linked to the Worldcoin ecosystem, approved large payments to a foreign entity. Those payments were allegedly made to artificially boost WLD’s market performance. The allegations have added pressure on a project already facing criticism over its biometric identity model.

Earlier this month, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes disclosed he had sold all of his WLD holdings. His exit added to the negative sentiment already surrounding the token.

Token Unlocks and Supply Changes

Worldcoin is scheduled to reduce its token unlock rate starting July 24, 2026. Lower unlock rates slow the pace at which new tokens enter circulation. This type of change has historically reduced sell pressure in crypto markets.

However, traders appear more focused on the controversy than the upcoming supply change. The market reaction suggests reputational concerns are outweighing any positive tokenomics outlook.

Price Levels to Watch

On the daily chart, WLD has pulled back to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level near $0.53 after failing to hold above $0.60. The MACD has produced a bearish crossover and its histogram has slipped below zero.

The RSI has also fallen from recent highs, pointing to fading buying pressure. A drop below $0.53 could lead to further losses toward $0.48 and then $0.42.

A move above $0.62 would be needed to ease the current downside pressure.

Separately, renewed talk of a potential OpenAI public listing has kept Sam Altman-linked projects in the spotlight. No direct link exists between OpenAI’s plans and Worldcoin’s token economics.

WLD was trading at approximately $0.5577 at the time of writing, down nearly 12% on the day.
