Our model projects Worldcoin at $0.0933 in 2030 and $0.1656 by 2036 — -67.6% against today's $0.5110 in the base case. The 2030 range runs from $0.00281593 in the bear case to $1.51 in the bull case.

Why below today's price? Most altcoins lose ground to Bitcoin over a full cycle — between the 2021 and 2025 peaks, only 3.5% of those we measured gained on it — and the model starts Worldcoin from that base rate. Why Most Altcoins Lose to Bitcoin, Cycle After Cycle

Year-end central forecast and the band around it. Select a year for the model's reasoning. In 2026, a quarter that has already begun and has no forecast of its own shows the observed closing price instead: “close” once the quarter is over, “latest close” while it is still under way.

Worldcoin: the case for and against

What our documented research establishes about the project itself, with its sources. It is an assessment of the project, not the reason behind the number: the price model reads price series only.

Worldcoin (WLD) occupies a unique position as a top-100 market cap project backed by OpenAI's Sam Altman and audited by leading security firms (Nethermind, CertiK). It has achieved millions of user registrations and maintains deep trading liquidity. However, its trust score is severely capped by structural and operational risks. The project faces expanding regulatory prohibitions across Europe, Asia, and Latin America over biometric data privacy and potential legal non-compliance. Additionally, its tokenomics have been widely criticized for hyper-inflationary emissions, foundation sell-offs, and heavy insider allocations that dilute retail holders over time.

Strengths
Smart contracts and cryptographic primitives audited by top-tier security firms including Nethermind, Least Authority, and CertiK. — world.org
Co-founded by high-profile tech leaders (Sam Altman, Alex Blania) and backed by prominent venture firms such as Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). — beincrypto.com
Demonstrated large-scale user onboarding with over 10 million verified World IDs and deep liquidity across major exchanges. — binance.com
Risks
Faces operational bans, suspensions, and enforcement actions in multiple countries (e.g., Spain, Hong Kong, Kenya, Brazil) due to biometric data privacy and GDPR non-compliance. — en.tempo.co
Tokenomics feature a low initial circulating supply relative to Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV), resulting in aggressive ongoing token unlocks and massive emission sell pressure. — beincrypto.com
Criticized by global privacy watchdogs (EPIC, EFF) for bribing/incentivizing individuals to trade immutable biometric iris scans for cryptocurrency. — epic.org
Accusations from on-chain analysts regarding market manipulation, insider dumping, and foundation sales of community-allocated tokens to market makers. — medium.com
Red flags
Multinational regulatory bans and investigations into unauthorized biometric data harvesting and GDPR violations.
Severe inflationary design resulting from low initial float and massive continuous unlock schedules.
Emergence of black-market trading and exploitation of verified biometric accounts (World IDs).

Methodology
What the model reads

Bitcoin's trajectory multiplied by today's WLD/BTC ratio and a drift measured across the whole altcoin universe. Nothing is fitted to WLD alone — every per-coin parameter that was tested lost to the shared drift.

Model confidence
Model confidence for WLD in 2030

The band is built to hold the price 82% of the time. The published confidence, 5.1/10, sits lower: it starts from what our documented research establishes about the project itself, and nothing raises it back.

Only the nearest horizons rest on a backtest. Later years carry a declared level — the band’s design level, capped by our research score — that no backtest can confirm yet; where one found the band holding the price less often, we publish that lower figure.
