Worldcoin’s token, WLD, jumped 27% in the last 24 hours, reaching $1.57 and catching the eye of investors everywhere. This surge came right after the Worldcoin Foundation announced it raised $135 million through a token sale to help grow its presence in the U.S.
The funding round was led by top-tier venture capital firms Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Bain Capital Crypto. According to the foundation, the fresh capital will be used to meet the growing demand for Orb-verified World IDs and to accelerate the rollout of Worldcoin’s identity network across major U.S. cities.
The project already has a presence in Los Angeles, Miami, and New York, but this funding aims to deepen that footprint significantly.
Over the past month, the token has jumped more than 82%, including a 35% gain just in the last week. Its market cap now sits at $2.38 billion, making it the 47th largest cryptocurrency.
Trading volume has also pumped 160%, with $1.09 billion traded in the past 24 hours — a rise of over 150%. If all tokens were in circulation, the total market value would be close to $5 billion.
Whether you support its biometric ID vision or remain neutral, it’s undeniable that Worldcoin is once again gaining attention. With this much capital and attention, the project is becoming one of the most closely watched in the altcoin space.
