Worldcoin ($WLD) has surged dramatically after Upbit, a well-known South Korean cryptocurrency exchange, announced its listing. The price of the token has surged by 70% today, September 9, 2025. With this rally, the token’s has experienced a rally of 139% in the last 7 days. The surge can be attributed to the growing institutional interest, strong technical signals and rising adoption momentum.
At press time, the price of the token stands at $2.11 with a surge of 68.38% in the last 24 hours as per CoinMarketCap. The token has surpassed the $2 mark, which has been the highest level since January 2025.
Institutional Treasury Boost Drives Demand
Yesterday, Eightco Holding Inc., a Nasdaq-listed technology company based in Pennsylvania, announced its $250 million WLD treasury plan. The company is planning to hold these WLD tokens as a strategic reserve in its institutional portfolio, which includes a $20 million backing from well-known companies such as Bitmine and Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, a well-known crypto analyst. As soon as this news broke out, the price of the WLD token rose.
Such large acquisitions tend to send out a bullish signal to the investors out there. As of now, only 20% of Worldcoin’s 10 billion tokens are currently in the circulation. Since there is a limited token supply, the price of the token can rise further. The project also reinforces the relevance of Worldcoin’s “proof-of-humanity” identity verification, a use case that is growing in importance as AI-based identity solutions expand in the industry.
Investors on the other hand should be on the lookout for Eightco’s treasury deployment and for any secondary market purchases that could affect the price of the $WLD token.
Bullish Breakout Imminent
According to a well-known crypto analyst, cryptododo7, WLD has been trading within a 1.5 year descending channel and it is now testing a critical breakout zone which is set around $1.40. The charts indicate that there might be a potential bullish breakout moving forward. If confirmed, the next price targets could be $4.09 and $12.60 which indicates a very strong upward wave.
Adoption Gains Counterbalanced by Supply Risks
Worldcoin’s network activity is showing great signs of adoption, which confirms the bullish sentiment. The weekly on-chain transactions have also surged to 15 million, which indicates that the network is being used more actively for real-world applications rather than just speculative trading.
One of the major factors that has been behind this growth is the World ID project, which is Worldcoin’s identity verification project. World ID has expanded to 46 countries and with this project there have been strategic partnerships formed with companies such as Razer and Visa. This move also indicates that there is a significant increase in mainstream acceptance.
Despite the positive momentum, caution is warranted. It has been noticed that since May 2025, the circulating supply of the WLD tokens have increased by 19% and going forward, approximately 202 million WLD tokens are set to unlock every month.
When such a large amount of tokens are unlocked, it usually creates a downward pressure as the investors may sell these $WLD tokens to realize profits, which increases the supply of the token all the way more. When something like this happens, the price of the token may experience corrections. Hence analysts usually pay extra attention to token unlocks even though the long-term fundamentals remain strong.
