Worldcoin (WLD) Surges 22% Amid AI Crypto Frenzy—While New Rival Rakes in $10M Presale Haul
Another day, another crypto rocket ship—Worldcoin’s WLD token just blasted past resistance with a 22% gain, proving once again that AI narratives move markets faster than a hedge fund can say ’risk-adjusted returns.’
Meanwhile, an unnamed AI crypto project quietly pockets $10 million in presale funding, because nothing sells like artificial intelligence sprinkled with blockchain fairy dust. The pattern’s familiar: hype the tech, cash the checks, repeat until the SEC starts asking questions.
For traders riding the WLD wave, the playbook remains unchanged: enjoy the dopamine hit of green candles, but maybe keep an exit strategy sharper than your average VC’s liquidation preferences.
Worldcoin Price Booms on $135M Token Sale Raise
It appears that Worldcoin’s strength comes as the project raises $135 million via token sale to fund ecosystem expansion.
The MOVE is expected to accelerate the rollout of World ID in the US. One of Worldcoin’s core goals is to establish a way to distinguish between humans and machines in the fast-evolving digital age, where AI technology is becoming more prevalent. World ID is a core part of that mission.
Token sale investors include Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital Crypto, both major names in the crypto venture capitalist space.
A Worldcoin community X page noted that the project boasts 100,000 users in Singapore and has added over 10,000 new users in both South Korea and Japan in April, concluding that its adoption is “exploding” in Asia.

Worldcoin currently trades at $1.54, with a $2.34 billion market cap. However, it remains down 86% from its all-time high (ATH).
It rallied 22% on the fundraising news, reflecting that the market sees its current fundamental setup as highly bullish. But what does the price chart say?
$WLD Tipped to Hit $10 as Price Reclaims Key Level
After peaking at $11.82 in March 2024, Worldcoin suffered a devastating crash. It tumbled to lows of $0.64 in April of 2025, but it has increased over 2x since then, showing a resurgence in investor interest.
Analyst Cryptoknight highlighted how $WLD has formed a more bullish chart structure this month.
According to the analyst, this could ignite an explosive uptrend to $10. And based on his price chart, this could all happen before the summer ends.

With strong fundamentals, a solid price chart, and the broader crypto market exhibiting real strength right now, there is a real possibility that Worldcoin reclaims its $11.82 ATH this year.
But Worldcoin’s strength reflects something bigger: surging prices across AI cryptocurrencies. For instance, Griffain has gained 72% this month, Pippin has gained 64%, and Tars AI has gained 140%.
Looking ahead, analysts are tipping the newly launched MIND of Pepe to be one of the best performers.
Top Trader Says New AI Agent $MIND Could Explode 100X
MIND of PEPE blurs the lines between AI agent and meme coin, creating a setup with real viral potential.
But it’s not just about hype; the project is building what could be one of the strongest AI protocols on the market. The MIND of Pepe agent will scan the market to identify trading opportunities, and it can even create its own projects.
It recently launched an X account for the agent, where it posts hot takes and interacts with its followers. Despite launching less than two weeks ago, it has already gained 6,800 followers.
However, the main product launch is still to come. It’s preparing to deploy a data insights terminal, which will provide trading signals, in-depth technical analysis, risk-to-reward ratios, and real-time chart displays – and it’s exclusive for $MIND holders.
The project is currently undergoing a presale, which has raised $10 million so far. With its current early stage combined with a strong use case, $MIND is generating a lot of traction. In a recent analysis, prominent trader Allesandro de Crypto said it has 100x potential.
However, the presale is set to end in just eight days.
This means investors must act quickly to secure the current fixed price of $0.0037515, or risk potentially paying a much higher price once it lists on exchanges.
