In return, users receive WLD tokens, part of a broader effort to build a global identity and financial network.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1674\" data-end=\"1926\">According to ZachXBT, however, the system has been used to \u201cprey\u201d on individuals in low-income regions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1674\" data-end=\"1926\">The investigator argued that a tool originally intended to verify human identity has instead contributed to the emergence of a black market for verified accounts.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1928\" data-end=\"2212\">Moreover, the investigator further claimed that biometric-linked accounts are now being traded on underground channels.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1928\" data-end=\"2212\">Pointing to Telegram as a key venue for such activity, ZachXBT noted,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1928\" data-end=\"2212\">The actual black market for KYC\u2019d accounts is always on Telegram if you know where to look<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 data-start=\"2219\" data-end=\"2251\">Tokenomics concerns deepen<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2253\" data-end=\"2591\">Beyond data usage, scrutiny has also focused on Worldcoin\u2019s token structure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2253\" data-end=\"2591\">ZachXBT described WLD as a \u201clow float\u201d asset and compared its setup to entities associated with <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Sam Bankman-Fried<\/span><\/span> and the now-defunct <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">FTX<\/span><\/span>, highlighting concerns over concentrated supply and ongoing issuance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2593\" data-end=\"2773\">He noted that token supply continues to expand at what he described as unsustainable levels, while insiders reportedly offload holdings through over-the-counter (OTC) transactions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2775\" data-end=\"3120\">Blockchain intelligence platform <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Arkham Intelligence<\/span><\/span> reported that the project\u2019s team has sold approximately $65 million worth of WLD over the past 90 days.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2775\" data-end=\"3120\">Data from <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">CoinMarketCap<\/span><\/span> showed that just 10 wallets control roughly 69% of the token\u2019s supply, raising further centralization concerns.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_593419\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-593419\" style=\"width: 1554px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-9.43.37-AM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-593419\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-9.43.37-AM.png\" alt=\"WLD holder\" width=\"1554\" height=\"1166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-9.43.37-AM.png 1554w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-9.43.37-AM-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-9.43.37-AM-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-9.43.37-AM-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-9.43.37-AM-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-9.43.37-AM-1200x900.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1554px) 100vw, 1554px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-593419\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: CoinMarketCap<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"3122\" data-end=\"3311\">Skepticism around WLD\u2019s tokenomics is not new.
