Worldcoin, a project at the forefront of digital identity, has seen its token, WLD, soar in value over the past month, delighting its holders with a whopping 230% increase. This surge is largely attributed to two pivotal developments: the unveiling of OpenAI’s text-to-video generator, Sora, and the impressive earnings report from NVIDIA for Q4 2023. Both events have significantly propelled the AI narrative forward, boosting the attractiveness of AI-centric tokens, including WLD.
According to Arkham Intelligence, a renowned on-chain analytics firm, large WLD investors, often referred to as ‘whales,’ have pocketed millions in profits amid this price rally. Notably, the firm highlighted the five most profitable WLD addresses, which enjoyed returns ranging from 84% to 236%. One standout investor had initially acquired WLD at an average price of just $2 back in 2023.
In addition to these whale movements, broader on-chain data reveals a consistent pattern of profit-taking among WLD holders since February 10, when the token’s upward momentum began to intensify. The Network Realized Profit/Loss (NPL) metric, a crucial indicator for assessing the net profit or loss realized by holders on any given day, underscores this trend of regular gains realization.
Despite the potential for a market correction following these significant profit-taking activities, analysis from Santiment, another on-chain intelligence provider, indicates a continued accumulation of WLD by a specific segment of holders.
This group, holding between 100,000 and 1 million tokens, has been actively buying up WLD through the rally period from February 10 to 27. Such accumulation patterns suggest a bullish sentiment among certain investor cohorts, although a sell-off by these segments could eventually pressure the token’s price.
Furthermore, smaller investors, specifically those with holdings ranging from 100 to 10,000 WLD tokens, have steadily increased their positions within the same timeframe. Although these investors represent a smaller portion of the overall Worldcoin ecosystem, their collective actions contribute to the WLD token’s market dynamics.
Worldcoin’s trading value currently stands at $7.99, experiencing a downturn exceeding 11% in the last day alone. Despite this recent dip, the past month has showcased an impressive bullish momentum for the cryptocurrency, with its value skyrocketing by over 220%. Positioned at number 75 in the CoinMarketCap rankings, Worldcoin boasts approximately $1.1 billion in market capitalization.
