Alameda Research Transfers $352K Worth of $WLD to Binance
The global cryptocurrency market has experienced a significant rebound, with a rise of over 6% in the past 24 hours. Worldcoin (WLD) has also benefited from this upswing, registering an 8% increase in value over the same period.
However, WLD's recovery is still limited, with holders facing losses of approximately 85% over the past five months. Notably, Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE) have fared better, with retractions of around 30% and 50%, respectively, since March 2023.
FTX Liquidation Triggers Selling Pressure on WLD
On August 7, 2024, U.S. District Judge Peter Castel ordered FTX and Alameda Research to repay creditors $12.7 billion. On-chain data indicates that FTX and Alameda Research collectively hold 24.8 million WLD coins, valued at approximately $45.6 million.
In response to the liquidation order, FTX and Alameda Research have initiated transfers of WLD coins to various centralized exchanges, including Binance. Within the past 24 hours, 204,397 WLD coins, worth around $352K, have been deposited into Binance.
Midterm Outlook
The Worldcoin project has established itself as a significant ecosystem, with over 6.4 million verified users in 160 countries. Backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the project has potential for further growth, particularly in light of speculation about possible integration with Microsoft-supported ChatGTP.
Meanwhile, WLD's price has shown signs of recovery from its recent downtrend. From a technical perspective, the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests a potential reversal pattern, characterized by bullish divergence amidst consolidation at lower lows.
