World Token Rally Draws Attention to AI-Agent Demand

World’s WLD token rose 35% over the past month, beating Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin on monthly and weekly returns. Most of the gain came in the final week, and the token reached $0.58 over the weekend, its highest price since late June.

As of 19:12 UTC on Thursday, WLD traded at $0.4953, down 6.6% over the prior 24 hours. The token’s monthlong rally came as the broader cryptocurrency market also advanced in September.

Interest in AI agents may be helping draw attention to WLD, which is linked to World’s identity-verification project. The project uses iris scans to verify that people are human and build a digital ID. Tools for Humanity, co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, is its primary developer.

World’s approach has led some to view the token as a potential beneficiary of AI-agent growth. The source also pointed to ongoing demand for Meta Platforms’ Muse. World’s new airdrop cycles stopped being created or renewed in June 2026.

Despite the recent rebound, WLD remains down nearly 60% over the past year.
