Maelstrom, a digital asset investment firm, predicts that Worldcoin’s WLD token will climb to $5 by August 2026, a roughly 900% gain from current prices. The call positions WLD as a neglected bet on the approaching wave of AI company IPOs.

At a current price near $0.50, the target implies a tenfold return if realized. Worldcoin, co-founded by Sam Altman, uses iris-scanning to build a global decentralized identity network. Its token serves both governance and incentive functions within the ecosystem.
Maelstrom’s outlook underscores the growing intersection of AI and decentralized identity. As AI agents require verifiable human credentials, Worldcoin could play a foundational role. Still, crypto markets remain highly volatile, and the aggressive target comes with substantial risk.
