- World surged 5.4% to $1.18 following OpenAI’s strategic partnership with Google Cloud, boosting investor confidence in AI-linked crypto assets.
- The move signals growing optimism for WLD’s decentralized identity platform as OpenAI accelerates AI development beyond Microsoft Azure.
Worldcoin (WLD) surged 5.4% on June 10, 2025, reaching $1.18 after news broke that OpenAI, co-founded by WLD creator Sam Altman, had signed a major cloud infrastructure deal with Google.
This agreement allows OpenAI to access Google Cloud’s powerful infrastructure to train and deploy AI models like ChatGPT, signaling a strategic diversification away from its previous reliance on Microsoft Azure.
The market reacted quickly. According to CoinMarketCap, WLD rose from $1.11 to $1.18 within hours, while 24-hour trading volume spiked 38% to $208.6 million.
This rally reflects the long-standing correlation between OpenAI’s growth and Worldcoin’s performance, as investors increasingly see WLD as a proxy for advances in the AI space.
Given WLD’s focus on decentralized biometric identity systems, traders anticipate that faster AI development will enhance demand for secure identity verification platforms.
OpenAI’s move to Google Cloud is seen as a pivotal shift. It not only gives OpenAI access to more compute power amid surging AI demand but also boosts Google Cloud’s position in the AI race—already a significant revenue driver for Alphabet.
Analysts believe this broader AI momentum will continue to fuel optimism around WLD and similar tokens in the AI-crypto sector.
From a technical standpoint, WLD broke out of a descending channel on the four-hour chart, pushing above the 50-period moving average and clearing resistance at $1.15.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) climbed to 62, signaling rising bullish momentum without being overbought. Analysts now point to $1.25 as the next resistance level, with key support between $1.05 and $1.08.
Prominent crypto analyst Jonathan Carter highlighted the breakout on X, noting that the price respected an ascending trendline support—further confirming bullish sentiment. Carter projected upside targets at $1.25, $1.34, $1.45, and potentially $1.62, suggesting gains of up to 40% if momentum sustains.
With Worldcoin’s market cap rising to $1.82 billion, up from $1.75 billion the day before, traders and investors alike are keeping a close eye on both OpenAI’s next moves and WLD’s potential as AI-powered crypto infrastructure becomes a more prominent theme in 2025.
