Worldcoin (WLD) is currently trading at $8.85, representing an over 253% price increase in the last 14 days. The recent surge was fueled by several factors:
The Factors Driving Worldcoin’s Price Surge
- The launch of OpenAI’s Sora, an artificial intelligence-powered platform that converts text to lifelike videos
- A whale wallet accumulating a substantial amount of WLD tokens valued at $5.82 million from Binance
- Alameda Research’s ownership of $167 million in WLD tokens
- Positive market sentiments due to events like the Bitcoin halving and Ethereum ETF anticipation
The World App, offering decentralized identity solutions, has seen an increase in users, with a record of 16,000 daily Orb verifications. Despite facing regulatory challenges in countries like France, India, and Brazil, Worldcoin has extended its World ID verification services to other jurisdictions, including Singapore.
Sora Launch and Expansion
The recent introduction of Sora, a text-to-video generator from OpenAI, has garnered attention in the technology community. Named after the Japanese word for “sky,” Sora allows users to create realistic video sequences from text cues.
While Sora’s capabilities are impressive, concerns exist regarding its ethical and societal impact. Capable of producing videos up to a minute long, Sora has the ability to construct intricate scenes, raising questions about its implications for artists and entertainment professionals.
Worldcoin continues to maintain a strong global presence, expanding its services across various continents. The World App, compatible with World ID, has gained popularity with 5 million downloads and 1.7 million monthly active users.
