Worldcoin (WLD) has taken off with a single news, doubling in one month.

The digital identity-focused cryptocurrency project Worldcoin's token WLD has risen to $1.64, showing an increase of nearly 30% in the last 24 hours. This remarkable rise came immediately after the Worldcoin Foundation announced the completion of a new investment round totaling $135 million.

The investment round was led by prominent venture capital firms Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital Crypto. According to a statement from the Worldcoin Foundation, the funds raised will be used primarily to rapidly expand the identity verification network globally, starting with the USA.

The WLD token has recorded an increase of more than 100% in the last month. The token's current market value has reached 2 billion 380 million dollars, making it the 47th largest cryptocurrency in the world.

Although Worldcoin's controversial biometric identity vision has been criticized by some circles, the project has once again become the focus of global interest.

Before the announcement, WLD, which was at the level of 1.27 dollars, rose to 1.64 dollars after the announcement. At the time the news was written, the relevant cryptocurrency was trading at the level of 1.53 dollars.
