WLD Surges 70% in July on Whale Accumulation Open Interest Doubles to $203M Analysts Target $4

WLD's price surged over 70% in July 2025, driven by increased investor activity, rising open interest, and whale accumulation, with analysts forecasting a potential climb to $4 if current trends persist [1]. The rally has drawn attention from both retail and institutional participants, with open interest metrics reflecting a doubling of derivative contracts from $75 million to $203 million by late July. This surge signals growing bullish sentiment, supported by positive funding rates of 0.01% and a spike in large holder activity, particularly around July 21, as addresses holding 1–10 million WLD increased their stakes [1].

On-chain data highlights rising user engagement, with active addresses growing consistently over 24-hour and 7-day periods. Worldcoin’s ecosystem has expanded to 14 million verified accounts out of 30 million signups, aligning with its utility-driven vision. Whale accumulation and institutional bets, such as a $135 million token buy by venture capital firms including a16z and Bain, have further reinforced confidence in the project’s long-term potential [1].

Recent partnerships with companies like Razer and Match Group have enhanced WLD’s adoption prospects, while the price has traded above $1.35 in early August, settling at $1.28 with a $2.27 billion market cap. Analysts note that maintaining this momentum could see the token test $2 in the short term and revisit its December 2024 high near $4 if on-chain metrics and macroeconomic conditions align [1]. However, critics caution that the lack of tangible partnerships or protocol upgrades leaves the asset vulnerable to volatility, with its valuation heavily reliant on speculative positioning rather than fundamental catalysts.

The broader crypto market’s risk-on sentiment, including ETF inflows and macroeconomic optimism, has amplified WLD’s rally. While the $4 target remains speculative and tied to technical analysis, sustained open interest and active address growth are critical indicators for further upside. Investors remain cautiously optimistic, viewing the token as a high-beta play in a recovering crypto cycle, though long-term adoption will depend on continued utility expansion and institutional validation [1].
