Worldcoin Token Surges 120% on Proof-of-Human Thesis

Worldcoin's token, WLD, surged over 120% from its late-May lows near $0.27 to trade around $0.59 to $0.67 in mid-June 2026.

The rally is tied to the idea that as artificial intelligence makes human identity increasingly scarce, a system proving users are unique human beings becomes valuable.

This concept is driving Worldcoin's 'Proof of Human' network, which uses biometric devices like the Orb to scan people's irises and issue unique cryptographic identifiers.

The network has over 16 million verified users, but experts warn about risks such as biometric regulation and narrative-driven pricing.
