Worldcoin news

Worldcoin’s token, WLD, surged 95 % in the past week, briefly topping $2 before retreating to around $1.75. Whale holders have been active, liquidating more than 49 million WLD—worth over $85 million—in the last two days; the cohort still controls roughly 938 million tokens. Technical indicators now flag an overbought market, with the RSI in saturation territory, a pattern that often precedes a pullback. The current support sits near $1.74, but sustained selling could force the price toward $1.54 or even $1.33 after this profit‑taking run. Should whales temper their sales and confidence return, WLD could break through the $2 ceiling, setting a next target near $2.17.

Worldcoin’s token, WLD, is trading around $1.77—well below its March 2024 peak of nearly $12—yet its market cap has surged to $3.58 billion, more than double the March high. The surge comes from a jump in circulating supply, which rose from 13 % to 20 % of the total token supply, now exceeding 2 billion units, as well as a $250 m corporate treasury injection by Eightco Holdings that drove the cap up in under a week. An accelerated unlock timetable that will put 10 billion WLD on the market by 2038 has amplified concerns about future dilution, after the project trimmed daily releases from 3.3 million to 2 million tokens last year. Even as liquidity grew, selling pressure intensified, with exchanges receiving a record 37.5 million WLD in early September. The WLD story underscores that market‑cap growth does not guarantee price stability, and investors should scrutinize supply dynamics before committing.

WLD surged 110% last week after its listing on Korean exchange Upbit and an influx of capital from a newly formed digital asset treasury. The daily Relative Strength Index sits at 81.77, confirming overbought conditions that could set the stage for a short‑term pullback. Futures open interest reached a record about $852 million, rising 18% in 24 hours, signalling a surge in leveraged speculation. If the price slides past the $1.59 support level, WLD could fall toward $1.34, whereas a rebound might push it above $1.95 and toward $2.38. The combination of overheating demand, high leverage and the overbought RSI warns that volatility could spike and a sharp correction poses a realistic risk.

South Korea’s largest crypto exchange, Upbit, announced today that it will list Worldcoin (WLD), sparking a rally that has pushed the token above 20% higher than its opening levels. The listing will enable trades in Korean won, Bitcoin, and USDT, and the exchange will support multichain deposits and withdrawals across Ethereum, Optimism, and WLD’s native blockchain. Upbit’s historical impact on asset prices and its intent to undertake global expansion give WLD access to a large pool of new investors, bolstering confidence after recent regulatory setbacks. Critics still cite privacy concerns and bans in several jurisdictions, but the listing may help counter reputational damage and open the door to broader market penetration. Overall, the Upbit entry is a bullish catalyst for Worldcoin’s near‑term price trajectory and potential long‑term adoption.

Worldcoin (WLD) trades at $1.85, up 45% in the last day and more than 110% this week, bringing 3‑month gains to 50% and annual returns up 26%. Profit‑taking pressure surged as holders in profit climbed from 62.3% to 79.3% and exchange balances rose 2.23%, about $11 million of potential sells. Whale inflows of $1.15 million could not offset a net sell pressure over $9.5 million, while top‑100 addresses also dumped tokens. Despite the selling, a rising Money Flow Index shows dip buyers, mainly whales, are absorbing falls, suggesting a shallow correction rather than a reversal. Chart indicators—50‑day EMA nearing 100‑day EMA and a potential golden cross—along with support at $1.38 and a deeper dip to $1.06 if broken, outline the pullback’s limits, while a close above $1.94 would erase the scenario.

Three thousand percent rise in Eightco stock followed its announcement of a Worldcoin treasury plan aimed at a late‑September share sale to raise roughly $250 million. The private placement will issue 171.23 million shares at $1.46 each, while BitMine Immersion Technologies has agreed to buy 13.7 million of those shares for $20 million. Eightco plans to use the proceeds to purchase Worldcoin as a primary treasury reserve asset and may also acquire Ether, with a ticker change to ORBS to signal the shift. The surge reflects a broader trend of non‑crypto companies stockpiling digital currencies, raising concerns about market saturation and the financial health of such firms. The new ticker and the appointment of Dan Ives as chairman underscore the strategic pivot, and Worldcoin’s token has climbed 49.2 percent to $1.54 in response to Eightco’s announcement.

Eightco Holdings' shares surged after the company announced it would allocate its corporate treasury primarily to Worldcoin (WLD) tokens. A $250 million private placement to buy Worldcoin sent the stock from a low of $1.43 three days earlier to $45.08 at close, with an intraday peak of $83.12—over 5,000% gain. The Worldcoin token itself rallied 49% to $1.54, its highest price in seven months, as the biometric “Orb” verification network expands across U.S. cities. Eightco also received a $20 million investment from crypto miner BitMine, which holds about 2 million Ether, indicating a shift toward digital‑identity assets beyond mining. The firm will change its Nasdaq ticker from OCTO to ORBS on Sept. 11, 2025, underscoring its alignment with the identity‑driven ecosystem and testing whether such tokens can serve as institutional reserve assets.

Eightco Holdings surged over 5,000% on Monday after announcing a $250 million private placement to build a treasury of Worldcoin (WLD) tokens and secure a $20 million backing from crypto‑miner BitMine. Shares returned to their Friday close of $1.43 in pre‑market trading before closing at $45.08, with a peak above $83 earlier. The company will change its Nasdaq ticker to ORBS on September 11, 2025, as part of a shift toward a digital‑identity‑focused treasury. Worldcoin shares rose 49% to $1.54 that day, and BitMine’s acquisition of more than 2 million ETH—worth about $9 billion—was called a “moonshot” stake in the AI‑crypto intersection. Managing director Dan Ives said the strategy is a technology infrastructure play, not merely a speculative token, and that Eightco may also hold Ethereum or other crypto as a secondary reserve.

BitMine announced it has crossed 2 million ETH in its balance sheet, bringing its holdings to 2,069,443 ETH, 192 Bitcoin and $266 million in cash, for a total asset base exceeding $9.21 billion. The move makes it the world’s second‑largest corporate treasury by Ethereum position, behind Strategy Inc., which holds 636,505 BTC worth $71 billion. Chairman Tom Lee said the firm sees Ethereum as a cornerstone of a “supercycle” driven by Wall‑Street blockchain adoption and AI, and that BitMine’s target of 5 % of total ETH supply is now 40 % of that goal. The company’s growing on‑market profile is reflected in a $1.7 billion average daily trading volume, ranking it 30th among U.S. listed equities. As part of a “moonshot strategy,” BitMine will allocate 1 % of its balance sheet to ecosystem projects, first funding Worldcoin with $20 million to develop a zero‑knowledge human‑verification solution.

Worldcoin (WLD) surged 25 % in the last 24 hours, hitting a two‑month high of $1.26 amid a renewed push from the project’s anonymized multi‑party computation launch. Derivatives data shows bullish sentiment with a long/short ratio of 1.09 and a Smart Money Index recording a 48‑day high at 0.605, signalling institutional buying. Technical indicators place a support level near $1.14; breaking above $1.34 could target $1.64 while falling below could drive the price toward $0.57. A surge in smart‑money activity suggests that WLD may benefit from short‑term trading momentum as institutional investors accumulate. If profit‑taking pressures increase or the support at $1.14 fails, the token could see a significant pullback, potentially sliding as low as $0.57.
