ChainCatcher reported that according to Cointelegraph, Worldcoin stated in a blog post on April 23 that Worldcoin Foundation's subsidiary responsible for token issuance, World Assets, will sell up to 1.5 million WLDs per week, worth about $8.2 million, through a series of "private placements to selected institutional trading companies operating outside the United States." Worldcoin wrote: "World Assets expects to sell an average of 500,000 to 1.5 million WLDs per week. Therefore, the circulating supply of WLD will increase accordingly."

According to CoinGecko, the addition of up to 1.5 million WLD tokens per week for six months would equate to an additional 36 million new tokens entering the market, currently valued at approximately $197 million. Worldcoin noted that it will negotiate with individual trading firms, especially those that compete with each other, to execute the private placement as close to the “current global market price” as possible to help minimize potential price impacts on WLD.

The essence of a decentralized community is the deconstruction and innovation of asset allocation models.

In the evolution of communities, the concept of assets always plays a pivotal role. In the real world, people often come together because of common interests. As society changes, the presentation of interests becomes more and more diverse, becoming different types of "assets". The acquisition, distribution and value growth of community assets are essentially driven by "consensus".

Risk markets rose across the board yesterday as geopolitical tensions did not escalate further over the weekend and risk rebounded from oversold positions. Fixed income investors seemed to choose to stay on the sidelines ahead of Friday's PCE data, the FOMC meeting in 8 days, and the SPX's busiest earnings week of the quarter. Despite the positive price action, trading activity remained light, with fixed income trading volumes at only 60-70% of normal levels. 44% of SPX companies will report earnings this week, including 5 of the "Magnificent 7", with Tesla on Tuesday, Meta on Wednesday, and MSFT, Google, and Amazon scheduled for Thursday.

Review of the week's major events:

1. The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission has approved the Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETF products jointly managed by China Asset Management, HashKey Capital and Bosera Fund, as well as Harvest Investment;

Yesterday (22 APR), risk sentiment in the US stock market rebounded slightly, and the six-day losing streak of the SP 500 was ended. The market got a chance to breathe before the PCE index on Friday, the busy earnings week and the upcoming FOMC meeting. On the other hand, the recent poor inflation data has delayed the market's expectations for the Fed to shift to an easing policy. The US Treasury yields are still fluctuating at a high level, and it has also forced global investors to reconsider their expected global easing cycle. Some investors have begun to doubt the ECB's determination to cut interest rates. The money market no longer fully digests the expectation that the ECB will cut interest rates three times in December. Morgan Stanley analysts pointed out in a report that "relative to the previous more aggressive rate cut path, the inflation caused by the exchange rate gives us reason to worry about the ECB's rate cut action."
