Worldcoin is backed by Tools of Humanity, a company where Sam Altman is co-founder and chairman. Altman is also the CEO of OpenAI, which launched Sora, an AI model that allows users to convert text into video, on February 16.

The token has reacted to OpenAI-related news in the past. In November 2023, Altman was temporarily ousted from the artificial intelligence company, causing the token price to drop.

Other AI tokens have also received a boost over the past few days. CoinGecko’s list of AI tokens has grown by 25% overall over the past week, with a variety of tokens seeing triple-digit growth.

The broader market also rose slowly over the past week, with the GMCI 30 index rising from 104 to 112.
