Worldcoin popularity soars after Oracle deal

Last Updated on 18 September 2025 by CryptoTips.eu

A notable gainer in the CoinMarketCap top 100 in recent weeks is Worldcoin. It’s rise in the charts wasn’t necessarily due to the cryptocurrency’s price increasing, but rather to the coin’s market capitalization. OpenAI’s deal with Oracle also proved to be a major driver of Worldcoin’s price.

EightCo

Worldcoin is back in the top 50 on CoinMarketCap. It was announced that an American technology company called Eightco was so convinced of Sam Altman’s dream of eye-scanning orbs that it decided to immediately invest $270 million, in other words, converting part of its cash reserves into Worldcoin.

Eightco’s share price soared after the announcement, from $18 per share to $45. Since then, Eightco’s share price has fallen back to $30, but this is still a significant development; after Bitcoin and Ethereum, Worldcoin is the third cryptocurrency in which companies are willing to invest directly.

Worldcoin still needs to deal with privacy regulations in countries like Portugal, Spain, Hong Kong, and China to truly break through globally, but given its backing by Sam Altman (a true rockstar in the United States) and his company’s major deal with Oracle, the short-term outlook now looks very promising for Sam Altman’s cryptocurrency.

The value of Worldcoin rose some 7% in the past 24 hours.
