Arthur Hayes Backs Worldcoin as WLD Surges 30% on AI Narrative

Published by

Worldcoin’s WLD token climbed more than 30% in the past 24 hours, rising to around $0.54 after crypto investor Arthur Hayes highlighted the project as a potential top performer. Hayes referenced research from Maelstrom that outlined a bullish $10 price target and linked Worldcoin’s prospects to growing investor interest in artificial intelligence. The rally comes as AI-related themes gain momentum across markets, fueled by enthusiasm surrounding companies such as OpenAI and reported SpaceX-related developments. Trading volume reportedly reached $1.7 billion as speculative demand accelerated. The move is notable because Worldcoin has faced regulatory scrutiny and criticism over its biometric identity model. Despite those concerns, investors appear to be focusing on the project’s connection to the expanding AI ecosystem and its co-founder, Sam Altman.
