Worldcoin's WLD Jumps 8% on Grayscale ETF Filing

DECRYPT · 2026-07-21

Grayscale has filed with the SEC to launch the first U.S. ETF tied to Worldcoin, the biometric crypto project co-founded by OpenAI's Sam Altman. The Grayscale Worldcoin ETF would hold WLD and trade on Nasdaq under the ticker GWLD, with BitGo as custodian and BNY Mellon as transfer agent. WLD rose around 8% on the news, though it remains down about 5.5% on the week. Worldcoin's WLD token jumped after asset manager Grayscale filed to launch the first US exchange-traded fund tied to the biometric crypto project, moving to bring Sam Altman's eye-scanning venture a step closer to Wall Street. WLD climbed about 8% over 24 hours following the filing to an intraday high of $0.387, trimming a rough week that still left it down around 5.5% over the past seven days, per CoinGecko data . On Monday, Grayscale filed an S-1 registration statement for the Grayscale Worldcoin ETF, a "passive" vehicle that would hold WLD—the native token of the World Network—and track its price through the CoinDesk Worldcoin Benchmark Rate, according to the filing.
