WorldCoin launch raises concerns as WLD price records double-digit gains



WorldCoin (WLD), the native token of the “privacy-preserving digital identity (WorldID)” project founded by OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, soared after being listed on major crypto exchanges on July 24.

At the time of writing, WLD is trading at $2.22, representing a gain of 33% on the day. Despite criticism from almost every corner of the crypto sphere, WLD’s 1-day performance has outperformed Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH),

For many traders, one area of ​​concern is the circulating supply of WLD versus its supply limit. With only 1% of the total supply currently in circulation, WorldCoin is grossly undervalued by a market capitalization of just over $22 billion.

Despite concerns about the token’s price stability and long-term valuation, WorldCoin has been listed by Binance, Bybit, Huobi, OKEx, Gate.io and KuCoin, and it currently has a 24-hour trading volume of over $348 million, according to CoinGecko data.
