By 
- Eightco announced a $270M raise to fund the first-ever Worldcoin treasury.
- An expert predicts a 93% chance of Dogecoin ETF approval this week.
- FLOCK skyrockets after Upbit and Coinbase listings.
Altcoins displayed mixed performance on Tuesday as the broader market remained range-bound.
Worldcoin, Dogecoin, and Flock.io dominated fundamental and technical trends in the past 24 hours.
Eightco’s bold move into Worldcoin
WLD traded in the green today after gaining more than 50%.
It hovers at $1.92, with a 240% uptick in 24-hour trading volume confirming significant trader activity.
The altcoin turned bullish after public company Eightco confirmed a $250 million financing round dedicated to a Worldcoin (WLD) treasury strategy.
The firm revealed that it will use the placement’s proceeds to purchase the tokens, with plans to make Worldcoin the core pillar of its balance sheet.
Meanwhile, Worldcoin has attracted criticism due to its biometric verification, which requires iris-scanning.
Its team argues that the model guarantees security and aligns with the rising artificial intelligence technology.
Commenting on their pivot to Worldcoin, Eightco’s new CEO, Dan Ives, said:
The future of AI requires World to lead the way in this AI-driven Fourth Industrial Revolution. World is the internet of people. While AI gives us infinite abundance, World gives us infinite trust and authentication.
For context, Worldcoin rebranded to World in August 2024.
DOGE ETF approval imminent?
Dogecoin dominated meme coin trends once again, this time with crucial developments that hint at entry into the regulatory financial landscape.
According to Santiment’s analyst Brian Quinlivan, there’s a 93% odds that Rex-Osprey’s Dogecoin ETF gains approval and launches in the US this week.

Bloomberg ETF analyst made similar remarks last week, potentially fueling the rumors.
That will mark the first DOGE-focused exchange-traded fund in the American market.
The original meme token hovered at $0.2472 after gaining 4% in the past day.
While the current outlook suggests short-lived rallies, prevailing institutional traction remains crucial in transforming Dogecoin beyond its meme identity.
Nasdaq-listed CleanCore revealed a $175 million Dogecoin treasury last week, while Bit Origin confirmed plans to accumulate DOGE worth $500 million.
Thus, Rex-Osprey’s latest DOJE news grabbed attention.
If approved, the ETF would allow institutional investors to invest in the meme token through brokerage accounts.
That’s essential for players who want to participate in cryptocurrency without the technicalities of buying, holding, or wild volatility.
A Dogecoin exchange-traded fund will likely trigger significant gains for the altcoin.
That would potentially open the path to the highly sought-after $1 in the coming months, especially if other companies adopt similar cryptocurrency strategies.
FLOCK skyrockets 150%
FLOCK led today’s market recovery with a more than 150% price increase in the past 24 hours.
The robust rally came after the decentralized AI trading platform gained key integration on leading cryptocurrency exchanges Upbit and Coinbase.
The alt recorded a sharp jump after the listing before retracing to $0.4354.
Meanwhile, the 3,000% surge in 24-hour trading volume signals robust optimism, likely as the Coinbase and Upbit communities interact with the new token.
Nevertheless, FLOCK exhibits massive volatility, hinting at further declines as the hype cools before establishing a decisive trajectory.
