Key Takeaways

Worldcoin, Sam Altman’s cryptocurrency venture, fell after surging dramatically in February 2024.

The driving forces behind the rise were straightforward, primarily stemming from widespread excitement ignited by OpenAI’s latest creation, Sora. This AI application lets users create videos from text.

While Sora and Worldcoin operate independently, they share a common founder: Sam Altman.

However, concerns about European privacy law led Worldcoin’s Europe MD, Fabian Bodensteiner, to announce that the company would shift  its focus away from Europe in the autumn.

Meanwhile, the platform announced it would rebrand to World in October. In early January 2025, WLD became one of the best-performing cryptos, and on Jan. 7, 2025, it was worth about $2.55.

Let’s now take a look at our Worldcoin price prediction, made on Jan. 7, 2025. We’ll also examine Worldcoin’s price history and explain a little about what Worldcoin is and what it does. 

Worldcoin Price Prediction

Let’s look at the WLD price prediction made by CCN on Jan. 7, 2025. The predictions will be made using the wave count method. Then, we will add and remove 20% from the final targets to create the minimum and maximum predictions. 

Minimum WLD Price Prediction Average WLD Price Prediction Maximum WLD Price Prediction
2024 $0.63 $0.78 $0.93
2025 $0.70 $0.87 $1.04
2030 $1.17 $1.45 $1.73

The most likely wave count suggests the WLD trend is bearish. The price has created a long-term upward A-B-C correction (white) followed by a five-wave decline (black). 

It is in the process of doing the same in the short term. 

If the increase has the same pattern, WLD will reach a top near $5 before beginning a lengthy downward movement. A similar downward movement can lead to a low of $0.66 in September 2025. 

Since there is insufficient data to predict the price movement afterward, we will use the rate of increase since the launch to predict the WLD price at the end of 2025, 2026, and 2030.

Adding the 0.04% rate of increase to the projected September 2025 target leads to WLD price predictions of $0.78, $0.87, and $1.45 for the end of 2025, 2026, and 2030.

Worldcoin Price Prediction for 2025

The wave count method combined with the rate of increase gives a WLD price prediction range between $0.63 and $0.93 for the end of 2025.

Worldcoin Price Prediction for 2026

The wave count method combined with the rate of increase gives a WLD price prediction range between $0.63 and $0.93 for the end of 2025.

Worldcoin Price Prediction for 2030

The wave count method combined with the rate of increase gives a WLD price prediction range between $0.63 and $0.93 for the end of 2025.

Worldcoin Price Analysis

The shorter-term daily time frame gives a more bullish outlook for several reasons.

First, WLD created a double-bottom pattern combined with a bullish divergence (green). The bullish pattern led to a breakout from a short-term descending resistance trend line. Second, WLD closed above the $2.40 area by creating a bullish candlestick on Jan. 6 (white icon).

If the upward trajectory continues, Worldcoin can reach the next resistance at $3.30-$3.33, created by the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement resistance level and a horizontal resistance area.

Finally, the wave count shows a completed A-B-C correction since the Dec. 6 high. The overlap with yesterday’s high (red line) means the decrease is not impulsive. Rather, another upward movement will follow the completed correction.

So, WLD is likely to increase toward $3.30-$3.33

Short-Term Worldcoin Price Prediction

The Worldcoin price prediction for the next 24 hours is bullish. As long as the WLD price remains above $2.40, it can continue to increase toward the next resistance at $3.30-$3.33.

Worldcoin Average True Range (ATR): WLD Volatility

The Average True Range (ATR) measures market volatility by averaging the largest of three values: the current high minus the current low, the absolute value of the current high minus the previous close, and the absolute value of the current low minus the previous close over a period, typically 14 days.

A rising ATR indicates increasing volatility, while a falling ATR indicates decreasing volatility.

Since ATR values can be higher for higher-priced assets, normalize ATR by dividing it by the asset price to compare volatility across different price levels.

On Jan. 7, 2025, Worldcoin’s ATR was 0.2348, suggesting average-to-high volatility.

Worldcoin Relative Strength Index (RSI): Is WLD Overbought or Oversold?

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator traders use to determine whether an asset is overbought or oversold. Movements above and below the 50 line also indicate if the trend is bullish or bearish.

On Jan. 7, 2025, Worldcoin’s RSI was 45, indicating a somewhat bearish sentiment.

CCN Strength Index

The CCN Strength Index combines an array of advanced market signals to measure the strength of individual cryptocurrencies over the last 30 days.

Every day, it assigns a strength score, ranging from 0 to 100, to the top 500 assets by market capitalization on CoinMarketCap, focusing on both trend direction and the intensity of price movements.

  • 0 to 24: Assets exhibit significant weakness, showing signs of sustained downtrend behavior.
  • 25 to 35: The price tends to move within stable bounds with minimal volatility.
  • 36 to 49: Assets begin a stable uptrend but without strong surges.
  • 50 to 59: Consistent growth with moderate price advances, building momentum.
  • 60+: Sharp price movements and high demand indicate stronger volatility and trend shifts.

The index dynamically adapts to rapid changes. For example, an asset experiencing a 100% increase within a short timeframe would see a sharp jump in its score to reflect the intensity of the rise.

However, should that asset stabilize at this new price level, the score will gradually taper down and align with the dampened momentum as the movement normalizes. The same principle applies to rapid declines: a sudden drop will spike the score downward, but as volatility decreases, the score will slowly adjust back up.

Worldcoin Advantages and Disadvantages

CCN’s Senior Research Analyst Toghrul Aliyev made a deep dive into Worldcoin and found the following advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of Worldcoin

  • Preventing AI Impersonation and Sybil Attacks: Worldcoin addresses potential future problems where AI may become indistinguishable from humans. Biometric verification can effectively distinguish real humans from AI and solve the challenges of AI impersonation and even Sybil attacks.
  • Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Worldcoin utilizes zero-knowledge proofs to ensure user privacy while proving a unique identity.
  • Facilitating UBI Distribution: AI-funded Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a concept that uses revenue generated from AI technologies to provide UBI. Worldcoin aims to provide financial support globally through its UBI initiative by distributing WLD tokens to individuals. This approach could serve as a reliable method for distributing UBI and contribute to efforts to reduce economic inequality by ensuring a steady income for individuals worldwide.
  • Commitment to Privacy: Worldcoin takes continuous steps to enhance user privacy. For example, they recently introduced a feature allowing users to delete  their iris codes after verification, which was not available before. Additionally, Worldcoin now stores  wallet private keys, World ID private keys, and Orb Data locally on personal devices, giving users more control over their data.

Disadvantages of Worldcoin

  • Deceptive Practices : The company has used misleading marketing techniques and has not always obtained informed consent from participants to scan their irises.
  • Exploitation of Vulnerable Populations: Worldcoin primarily scanned the irises of students and people in low-income countries. These groups were targeted because they were more likely to participate in exchange for small financial incentives despite not fully understanding the implications of sharing their biometric data.

  • Exclusion of Medically Unfit Individuals: Worldcoin does not account for people with medical conditions that make their irises unfit for scanning. The exclusion creates inequality, preventing these individuals from participating and benefiting from the platform.
  • Black Market : Worldcoin’s biometric verification system has led to a black market for World IDs. Speculators bought iris scans from people in low-income countries for as little as $30. This illegal trade compromises the system’s security and exposes users to identity theft and exploitation.
  • Misleading Inflation Claims: WLD claimed an inflation default rate of 0%, potentially increasing to 1.5% after 15 years. However, historical data  from CoinMarketCap shows an actual inflation rate  of 244.58% in one year. Moreover, despite a long and well-intentioned token unlock period, many unlocked tokens still dilute the supply. This could potentially lower each token’s value. With a maximum supply of 10 billion tokens, only around 2.6% are unlocked as of July 2024.

  • Wealth Distribution: Worldcoin claims , “Worldcoin can be even better than Bitcoin.” It criticizes BTC by saying “it’s just in the hands of the very few rich people”. However, WLD allocated 20% of its coin supply to its own team and investors, even increasing that number later to 25% .

Security and Decentralization

  • Security Breach : In May 2023, hackers installed malware on Worldcoin Orb operators’ devices, stealing their passwords and gaining full access to the operator dashboard. Worldcoin claimed no sensitive user data was compromised and reset all operator logins. However, the incident still exposed serious security flaws and raised concerns about the safety of the biometric data collected.
  • Hardware Centralization: Worldcoin relies on specialized hardware (Orbs) made by a single entity, Tools for Humanity .
  • Vulnerability to 3D-Printed Fakes: AI-generated photos or 3D prints of fake people could potentially fool the Orb software, creating unlimited counterfeit identities.
  • Regulatory Scrutiny: Worldcoin faces regulatory scrutiny from Hong Kong , Portugal Spain , and other countries due to concerns about privacy, data security, and biometric data usage.

Worldcoin Price History

Following that, let’s examine some of the key dates in the Worldcoin price history . While past performance should never be taken as an indicator of future results, knowing what the coin has done can help give us some very useful context when making or interpreting a Worldcoin price prediction.

From the Worldcoin Whitepaper

In its technical documentation or whitepaper , Worldcoin says it was founded to create a globally inclusive identity and financial network owned by most of humanity. If successful, Worldcoin could considerably increase economic opportunity. Furthermore, it could also scale a reliable solution for distinguishing humans from AI online while preserving privacy. In addition, it wants to enable global democratic processes and show a potential path to AI-funded UBI.

Worldcoin consists of a privacy-preserving digital identity network (World ID). This, it says, will be built on proof of personhood and, where laws allow, a digital currency (WLD). At least in theory, every human is eligible for a share of WLD simply for being human. World App currently complements World ID and WLD, the first frontend to World ID, and the Worldcoin Protocol, developed by the contributor team at Tools for Humanity  (TFH).

What Is Worldcoin?

The Worldcoin protocol is the world’s largest identity and financial public network, open to everyone regardless of their country, background, or economic status. World ID is a privacy-preserving digital identity designed to help solve critical, identity-based challenges, including proving an individual’s unique personhood. WLD provides utility and gives users a say over the direction of the Worldcoin protocol. WLD is the first token to be globally and freely distributed to people for uniqueness.

How Worldcoin Works

It developed a device called Orb, which scans individuals’ iris to prove their uniqueness and humanity. Afterward, it assigns them a World ID to use as a global digital passport.

Is Worldcoin a Good Investment?

It is difficult to tell. Worldcoin has been under the spotlight since the Sora news. Another matter is whether it can capitalize on that and whether investors can remain interested in it. We shall have to see whether the upgrade will change things.

As always with crypto, you must do your research before deciding whether or not to invest in WLD.

Will Worldcoin go up or down?

No one can tell right now. While the Worldcoin crypto price predictions are primarily positive, price predictions have a well-earned reputation for being wrong. Keep in mind that prices can and do go down and up. 

Should I invest in Worldcoin?

Before you decide whether or not to invest in WorldCoin, you will have to do your research, not only on WLD but on other related coins and tokens such as The Graph (GRT) or Ethereum Name Service (ENS). Either way, you must also ensure you never invest more money than you can afford to lose.
