Worldcoin’s WLD token surged 25%, extending weekly gains to nearly 50%, driven by record user growth, rising wallet activity, and major institutional support.
Over the past week, 530,000 new users verified on the platform—the largest weekly increase in months—pushing the total above 33.5 million. Wallet activity also hit new highs, with 31.6 million transactions processed and daily volumes surpassing two million.
The network expanded its anonymized multi-party computation (AMPC) framework with Peru’s University of Engineering and Technology (UTEC) joining academic operators like KAIST and UC Berkeley. AMPC protects user privacy by splitting encrypted data across independent nodes, each performing partial computations. Leveraging Nvidia H100 chips, nodes can handle 50 million uniqueness checks per second, scaling efficiently with the growing user base.
Institutional backing strengthened as Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: OCTO) announced a $250 million private placement to acquire WLD as its primary reserve asset, with an additional $20 million from BitMine. Eightco will rebrand to “ORBS” upon closing on Sept. 11.
The combination of technical expansion, institutional support, and strong adoption underscores sustained momentum for WLD.
