Worldcoin Gains 40%, Hits Record High as AI Tokens Surge on Nvidia

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s Worldcoin (WLD) token hit record highs on Thursday alongside a broader rally in artificial intelligence (AI)-related tokens.

AI cryptocurrencies initially jumped in price Wednesday evening after chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA) beat lofty fourth-quarter earnings and first quarter guidance expectations and the move has gained strength since.

Taking the lead in terms of gains is Worldcoin’s WLD, which is up 40% on the day and almost 170% over the past 7 days. The token touched a new all-time high of $8.85 earlier and was trading at $8.54 at press time. Worldcoin was co-created by OpenAI founder Sam Altman and thus often associated with AI-related projects. SingularityNET AGIX, a decentralized AI marketplace, saw its token climb 43%. FetchAI FET was up 18%.
