PANews reported on June 17th that, according to BIT analysis, Sam Altman's role as co-founder of both OpenAI and Worldcoin has led some funds in the secondary market to view WLD as a highly liquid alternative for betting on OpenAI's future IPO. Following SpaceX's strong stock performance after its listing, as a bellwether for tech IPOs, market expectations for the listing of AI star companies like OpenAI have been further boosted, causing related narratives to rapidly gain traction. Some traders see WLD as a tradable asset that reflects this sentiment in advance.

In the short term, Eightco Holdings previously disclosed holding approximately 283 million WLD tokens, representing 8.4% of the circulating supply, making it one of the few publicly disclosed listed companies with such a large holding. If market expectations for OpenAI's listing as early as September this year continue to strengthen, the trading logic of WLD as a underlying asset may still have room for further development.
