Worldcoin Investors Face Steep Losses: One-Year Investment Down Nearly 70%
Investors who purchased Worldcoin (WLD) exactly one year ago are currently facing significant losses, with the value of their holdings plummeting by nearly 70%. The cryptocurrency, which traded as high as $3,924 in December 2024, is now trading substantially lower, highlighting the volatile nature of the digital asset market.
This dramatic decline impacts a wide range of investors, from early adopters drawn to Worldcoin’s ambitious vision of a globally inclusive identity and financial network, to those seeking potential gains in the burgeoning crypto space. The significant downturn underscores the risks associated with investing in newer cryptocurrencies and serves as a cautionary tale for prospective investors.
According to data from finanzen.net, Worldcoin was valued at $2,304 one year ago. An investment of $1,000 in WLD at that time would have yielded approximately 434 Worldcoins. As of November 15, 2025, those 434 coins are now worth just $303.54, based on a price of $0.6994 per coin. This represents a loss of 69.65%.
The cryptocurrency reached a 52-week low of $0.6161 on April 8, 2025. While it has seen some recovery since then, it remains far below its previous high. The substantial difference between the 52-week high and current price demonstrates the extreme price swings characteristic of the cryptocurrency market.
Worldcoin’s core concept revolves around providing a global basic income (UBI) funded by the future productivity gains of AI, distributed to everyone on Earth through its World ID, a privacy-preserving global identity network. The project utilizes “World Orbs” – silver spheres that scan users’ irises to verify their humanity and prevent Sybil attacks.
