WLD Soars 25% as Worldcoin Treasury Deal Sparks Buying Frenzy

Worldcoin’s WLD token surged 25%, extending weekly gains to nearly 50%, fueled by robust user growth, record wallet activity, and strong institutional support.

Over the past week, 530,000 new users completed verification—the largest weekly increase in recent months—pushing the total verified base above 33.5 million. Wallet activity also set new records, with 31.6 million transactions processed and daily volumes surpassing two million.

The network’s anonymized multi-party computation (AMPC) framework expanded with the addition of Peru’s University of Engineering and Technology (UTEC), joining other academic operators like KAIST and UC Berkeley’s Responsible Decentralized Intelligence group. AMPC enhances privacy by splitting encrypted user data across independent nodes, each handling partial information to confirm uniqueness. The system uses Nvidia H100 chips, capable of 50 million uniqueness checks per second, scaling for the network’s nearly seven million verified users.

Institutional backing strengthened as Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: OCTO) announced a $250 million private placement to implement a Worldcoin treasury strategy, acquiring WLD as its primary reserve asset. An additional $20 million came from BitMine. The round was led by MOZAYYX, with participation from World Foundation, Discovery Capital, Pantera, Kraken, FalconX, Brevan Howard, and others. Eightco will rebrand its Nasdaq ticker to “ORBS” once the deal closes on Sept. 11.

The combination of technical expansion, institutional interest, and strong user adoption highlights continued momentum for Worldcoin and its WLD token.
