Benzinga.com reports that Worldcoin is trading at its highest level since June 23, following four consecutive days of upward movement. The asset benefits from the growing demand for Meta Platform’s Muse AI agent, which relies on Worldcoin’s proof of humanity approach to verify user identity. Worldcoin also gains attention due to its association with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, with users hoping OpenAI will adopt World ID over time.
The token often reacts to news regarding OpenAI’s planned IPO. Meanwhile, Quant Network surged to $193 after a partnership with UK Finance, involving institutions like Barclays and HSBC. Zcash has soared 750% from its yearly low, supported by rising demand for privacy features and strong inflows into its Grayscale ETF.
Bitcoin and Ethereum remain in a tight range as their market capitalization stalls at $2.91 trillion. Michael Saylor hints at new Bitcoin purchases as crypto winter eases. Tom Lee’s BitMine is set to complete its Ethereum accumulation. Traders watch these developments as the broader market holds steady.

Worldcoin is currently trading at $0.5229 on Binance spot markets. Short-term buying pressure appears to be building, with the 1-hour buy ratio at 50.5% and the 4-hour ratio rising to 61.7%, compared to a 49.6% ratio over the last 24 hours. This shift indicates that recent trades have favored buyers more than they did over the full day. Volume delta confirms this trend, showing a positive $20,400 in the last hour and a substantial $2,944,209 over four hours, against a negative $663,660 for the 24-hour period. Cumulative Volume Delta closed at +$6,108,682, signaling sustained net buying activity. The market saw net buying for 17 out of 24 hours, with total spot volume reaching $77,863,223.
The latest daily buy ratio of 48.6% sits at the 39th percentile of the last 323 days, against a median of 49.3% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for WLD, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
This trading activity contrasts with the preceding week, where the average buy ratio was 50.2%, making today’s 4-hour ratio of 61.7% notably higher. Volume has been 1.74 times the weekly average, indicating significantly increased participation. While the weekly volume delta was positive at $4,569,659, today’s short-term delta shows a stronger immediate buy bias. Price increased by 21.3% over the eight-day period, with net buying occurring on only three of those seven days. This suggests that while the weekly trend is up, today’s specific flow dynamics are more intensely buyer-driven than the recent average.
