Ives Projects $8 Billion Valuation For Company
Ives’ visit to the World store comes in the wake of Eightco’s ambitious “Power of 8” initiative, aiming to acquire 800 million WLD tokens for its treasury and verify 8 billion humans.
He projected a potential $8 billion valuation for Eightco, based on a target of $10 per WLD token. The company had a total market capitalization of $2.16 billion as of Tuesday’s close.
Ives previously described the World project as the “intersection of AI and crypto” and the iris scanning technology used by Orb devices as the future standard for identifying humans and separating them from bots.
World, formerly Worldcoin, co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, is an identity verification project that captures people’s irises to confirm their humanness and build a digital ID, allowing them to receive free WLD tokens.
Price Action: At the time of writing, WLD was exchanging hands at $1.19, down 9.31% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
