While WorldCoin attracted attention due to its focus on AI, $WLD has dropped by over 40% within the past day. The altcoin failed to retain its earlier highs due to various issues, including sketchy tokenomics, backdoor deals, and incentives to dump.

Ethereum’s co-founder Vitalik Buterin identified issues with Worldcoin shortly after the project launched, according to invezzz.com news. For now, analysts have attacked its tokenomics model, where most of the 10 billion $WLD planned to unlock over the coming 15 years.

Token Unlocks reveals the community will enjoy three-quarters of Worldcoin’s total supply. Moreover, early investors that led the Initial Coin Offering (ICO), such as a16z, will receive nearly 10% of the asset supply. Also, projects with regular assets unlock generally witness massive selling momentum.

While Worldcoin catalyzed optimism within the markets on Monday, it has slumped by over 40% to a press time price of $0.0178. $WLD skyrocketed to highs of $3.30 hours after its launch before significant dips. Sin City Crypto trusts the asset will not soar past $2.50 anytime soon.

Furthermore, most individuals believe WorldCoin would be a historic rug-pull, responding to Vailshire Capital Management CEO’s poll.

While crypto exchanges lined up to list the token, WorldCoin’s performance less than a day since it went live matches speculations that the AI market is a bubble waiting to burst. Meanwhile, the looming AI regulations and risks will likely determine whether artificial intelligence can sustain itself long-term.

It remains fascinating to witness how wild the AI ride would be.
