As such, the altcoin has surged by over 116% over the past four weeks, signaling a potential bear-market reversal. $WLD price edged higher as OpenAI filed for a confidential IPO with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 8.
Worldcoin and OpenAI are linked through Sam Altman, who serves as OpenAI’s chief executive and co-founded World, the project behind Worldcoin. The link gained traction in January 2026, after it was reported that OpenAI could be developing a bot-free, “humans-only” social network and had considered the World’s iris-scanning Orb, alongside Apple’s Face ID.
What’s next for the Worldcoin price?
As Worldcoin price gains bullish momentum amid the ongoing AI boom, Finbold AI Agent – an advanced financial assistance tool that leverages several AI models – predicted its further upsurge in the near future.

The Finbold AI Agent predicted that $WLD price could reach $0.77 on June 30, representing an average growth of 52%. The highest predicted change was from DeepSeek Chat, and the lowest from Claude Opus 4.6, at 106% and 21.8%, respectively.
With the rising speculation for Worldcoin amid the hyped OpenAI IPO, the anticipated bullish sentiment could materialize. However, if the stock market gets trapped in a further correction and potentially trickles down into the crypto industry, $WLD’s price could experience a near-term correction.
