Why is Worldcoin Outperforming Bitcoin Right Now?

Worldcoin (WLD) has exploded higher, jumping more than 120% against Bitcoin (BTC) in just four days and reaching 1,730 satoshi—its highest since January—on Tuesday.

What’s pumping the altcoin so much? Let’s examine.

Eightco Holdings Announces $250 Million WLD Treasury

Worldcoin’s dollar price has mirrored its outperformance against Bitcoin, climbing more than 130% over the past week.

The immediate catalyst is Eightco Holdings’ $250 million treasury allocation into Worldcoin. The company, soon to rebrand as “Orbs,” framed the move as a bet on digital identity becoming as disruptive as digital gold.

The strategy drew quick comparisons to MicroStrategy’s early Bitcoin play, but with one key twist: while MicroStrategy positioned BTC as an inflation hedge, Eightco is pitching WLD as part of its core operating vision tied to AI-driven identity and payments.

The appointment of Dan Ives, Wedbush’s high-profile tech analyst, as chairman amplified the impact. Known for his Apple and Tesla calls, Ives’ arrival adds Wall Street credibility to a token often dismissed as hype.

Tech Upgrade Boosts Sentiment

Adding fuel to the rally, Worldcoin rolled out its Anonymized Multi-Party Computation (APMC) initiative, a quantum-resistant privacy framework built with academic support from UC Berkeley, FAU, KAIST, and UTEC.

By strengthening its security model, Worldcoin is addressing long-standing concerns around centralization and trust, drawing interest from investors who view resilience and decentralization as critical for mainstream adoption.

Falling Wedge Breakout Targets Higher Worldcoin Levels

On the WLD/USD chart, Worldcoin has broken out of a multi-month falling wedge pattern, a structure that often signals bullish reversals. The breakout pushed prices above both the wedge resistance and the 50-week EMA (~$1.49), confirming strong momentum.

If the pattern plays out fully, WLD’s upside target could be around $6.17, its key horizontal resistance from March 2024. That implies a potential 230% rally from current levels near $1.85.

Momentum indicators also support the breakout. The weekly RSI has surged toward 62, its highest since early 2024, while trading volumes have picked up. Short-term pullbacks are likely, but technically, Worldcoin has entered a structure that favors sustained upside.
