Worldcoin (WLD) continues its impressive rally, defying market expectations despite heavy whale activity. On September 9, WLD surged 54% in a single day, extending its weekly gains to over 121% and trading at $1.86.
Whale Selling Fails to Slow Down Rally
According to blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence, the Teneo-managed 3AC liquidation wallet offloaded another 2.25 million WLD tokens valued at $2.88 million. This wallet, which initially received 75 million WLD two years ago, has been gradually selling since July 2024. Despite continued selling pressure, it still holds 52.47 million WLD worth nearly $92 million at current prices.
The market, however, has remained resilient. Daily trading volumes for WLD soared 300% to $3.6 billion, while perpetual futures open interest climbed 54% to $905 million. More than $16 million in short liquidations over the past 24 hours highlight the strong bullish momentum.
Analysts Eye $4 Price Target
After breaking above the key resistance of $1.60, analysts are now suggesting that WLD could rally further, potentially testing the $4 mark in the near term. Many point to the combination of surging volume, futures activity, and whale positioning as signals of a sustained uptrend.

Eightco Holdings Sparks Corporate Demand
Adding to the bullish sentiment, Nasdaq-listed e-commerce firm Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: OCTO) unveiled a $250 million Worldcoin treasury strategy, becoming the first public company to hold WLD in such a capacity. The firm raised the funds via a massive equity sale and attracted a $20 million strategic investment from BitMine, the largest corporate holder of Ethereum.

The announcement triggered a remarkable 3,000% surge in Eightco’s stock, which closed at $45.08, giving BitMine a 30x return on its investment. This corporate adoption narrative has added fuel to the Worldcoin rally, underscoring growing institutional interest in alternative digital assets.
With whale selling offset by surging trading activity, a bullish technical setup, and fresh corporate adoption, Worldcoin’s explosive momentum shows little sign of slowing. If current trends persist, WLD may be on track for a run toward $4, placing it among the top-performing tokens of September 2025.
