Worldcoin surge after Eightco announcement: WLD soars over 40%

Worldcoin gained over 40% following Eightco Holdings’ announcement of a private subscription of 250 million dollars to adopt WLD as a treasury reserve, while Eightco shares literally skyrocketed: +4300% on the same day.

What is behind the rise of Worldcoin?

The sudden increase in the price of WLD stems from the announcement published by Eightco Holdings, a Nasdaq-listed company, which has initiated a massive private subscription. The plan involves the sale of approximately 171.2 million new common shares at a price of 1.46 dollars to raise a total of 250 million dollars, allocating the sum to the purchase of crypto assets with a focus on WLD.

The operation also includes an additional investment of 20 million dollars made by Bitmine Immersion Technologies, with the purchase of 13.7 million Eightco shares. Among the participants, we find World Foundation, Discovery Capital Management, Kraken, Pantera, Coinfund, and Brevan Howard, all high-profile investors in the crypto and financial ecosystem.

The result? From a price of about 1.03 dollars, WLD jumped to 1.51 dollars, with a weekly gain exceeding 70% and trading volumes soaring to 2.15 billion dollars on the day of the announcement, compared to less than 150 million in the early days of September.

How is Eightco’s strategy changing?

After the fundraising, Eightco Holdings will adopt Worldcoin as the main reserve of corporate assets, along with its holdings in ethereum and liquidity. This means that WLD becomes the reference asset in its financial and treasury strategies, sending an important signal to the market about the long-term prospects of the token.

In addition to the integration of digital assets, the company will also change its Nasdaq ticker symbol: from “OCTO” it will become “ORBS”.

The CEO of Eightco stated that the strategy strengthens Worldcoin’s role as a “trust reserve” and solution for digital proof of humanity, highlighting the growing demand for blockchain identity and secure and efficient AI technologies.

What effects on Worldcoin (WLD) and Eightco stocks?

The impact of the announcement was immediately seen on the markets:

• Worldcoin (WLD) rises from approximately 1.03 dollars to 1.51 dollars in the same day, with a peak in demand and volatility.
• The Eightco shares soar to a high of 77.92 dollars, from less than 2 dollars at the start of the session (+4300%), before settling around 65 dollars.
• Liquidity on WLD increases exponentially: trading volume of 2.15 billion dollars according to CoinMarketCap data, a new monthly high.

Such a sudden movement is rare even for the crypto sector, and it demonstrates how the combination of institutional investors, reserve strategy, and identity innovation is enough to trigger a true FOMO (acronym for Fear Of Missing Out).

Who are the main players in the operation?

Behind the private subscription of 250 million dollars is a financial direction led by MOZAYYX, accompanied by structured funds and names already known in the cryptocurrency market:

• World Foundation, the operational arm of the Worldcoin project.
• Discovery Capital Management, specialists in alternative assets.
• Kraken, among the most well-known crypto exchanges globally.
• Pantera, among the leading VCs in the DeFi and blockchain sector.
• Coinfund and Brevan Howard, active on various fintech fronts.
• Bitmine Immersion Technologies, which participates in the operation with 20 million dollars.

This combination of investors represents a bridge between traditional finance and the new wave of instruments based on blockchain and AI.

What does the adoption of Worldcoin as a reserve mean?

The inclusion of WLD among Eightco’s reserve assets is an unprecedented move for a company listed on Nasdaq. Typically, treasury reserves are composed of cash, government bonds, and, in more innovative cases, even bitcoin or ethereum.

The decision to bet on Worldcoin signals the growing confidence in both blockchain-based digital identity solutions (central to the Worldcoin project) and the prospect of expanding the AI ecosystem.

According to the official statement, this reserve “represents a fundamental step in strengthening Worldcoin as a reserve of trust and a leading tool of the new digital humanity.”

Why does the news spotlight blockchain identity and AI?

The success of the operation confirms the growing interest in technologies that combine blockchain, artificial intelligence, and privacy. Worldcoin was created with the mission to provide secure, traceable, and ‘human’ digital identity verification through an open and decentralized infrastructure that today receives the seal of one of the world’s leading financial markets.

What happens now to Worldcoin and investors?

The announcement effect intertwines with a context of maximum attention on crypto and memecoins, with growing volumes and new treasury strategies that redefine the paradigms of the relationship between traditional and digital assets.

Traders and institutional investors are now observing the sustainability of such a rapid rally and the possible medium-term effects on the price and liquidity of WLD. Keep an eye on the ticker “ORBS”: the new identity of Eightco on Nasdaq could bring additional visibility and, consequently, volatility to the markets.

The true future of Worldcoin, however, will depend on its ability to establish itself as a standard for digital identity in a world where blockchain and AI play a central role.

The coming weeks will be crucial: follow the news and the Worldcoin community to not miss any updates on volumes, adoption, and new moves by institutional players.
