OpenAI and Biometrics: Towards an “X Killer”?

According to sources close to the matter, a small team within OpenAI is reportedly developing a new social platform. The objective would be ambitious: integrating the power of ChatGPT for content creation while using biometrics to guarantee Proof-of-Personhood.

This project, if confirmed, would directly challenge X on the battlefield of account authenticity, a burning issue in the age of bots. Although Worldcoin and OpenAI are two distinct entities, the connection is obvious: Sam Altman is the common denominator. The potential use of iris scanning technology (the Orb) or similar technology to certify users on this new platform has immediately triggered a wave of FOMO among investors.

Worldcoin (WLD): The Token Soars on Speculation

The market reaction was swift. The WLD token, often considered by traders as a “proxy” for investing in OpenAI’s success (which has no native token), recorded an impressive impulse candle, climbing nearly 40%.

Buy volumes exploded, propelling the price well above its local resistances. This type of movement, typical of narratives linked to Artificial Intelligence, shows just how strong the correlation between OpenAI announcements and WLD’s price remains. Speculators are betting that Worldcoin will become the default identity infrastructure for this future social network.

Can WLD Reach New Highs?

After such a vertical move, the question of the movement’s sustainability arises. Are we witnessing a simple “pump and dump” on rumor or the beginning of a genuine bull rally? If official confirmation of the project by OpenAI were to drop, WLD could transform this resistance into support and target a new ATH with this kind of news and potential adoption.

However, WLD is running into a bullish Order Block. And the overall market trend remains very cautious towards risk assets. If WLD manages to break through the POC at $0.63 with strength and volume, then the resistance at $0.82 will be the next target.
