Why It Matters: The searing rally comes ahead of the World Network's upcoming event being hosted by its founder and well-known tech entrepreneur, Sam Altman.
The San Francisco event, called "At Last," could see major updates for the network and the cryptocurrency, providing further impetus to the rally.
During the last such event in October 2024, the project rebranded itself from "Worldcoin" to simply "World" and announced the launch of World Chain, an Ethereum ETH/USD Layer-2 network.

However, it has been mired in controversy over concerns of personal data privacy, leading to it being outlawed in Hong Kong, Kenya, and Spain.
