WLD Climbs 25% Amid $250M Treasury Agreement, Investor Optimism Rises

Worldcoin’s WLD token climbed 25% in recent hours, extending weekly gains to nearly 50%, propelled by record user growth, strong wallet activity, and significant institutional backing.

In the past seven days, over 530,000 new users completed verification—the largest weekly jump in months—lifting the total verified base above 33.5 million. Wallet activity also surged, with 31.6 million transactions processed and daily volumes exceeding two million for the first time.

The network strengthened its anonymized multi-party computation (AMPC) framework with Peru’s University of Engineering and Technology (UTEC) joining operators including KAIST and UC Berkeley. AMPC splits encrypted user data across independent nodes for privacy, with Nvidia H100 chips enabling up to 50 million uniqueness checks per second, supporting scalability as the user base grows.

Institutional support accelerated as Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: OCTO) announced a $250 million private placement to acquire WLD as its primary reserve asset, alongside an additional $20 million from BitMine. Eightco will update its Nasdaq ticker to “ORBS” after closing on Sept. 11.

The combined impact of network expansion, institutional participation, and surging adoption underscores continued momentum for WLD.
