According to data source Kaiko’s report, the AI Coin industry continues to evolve despite the concerns surrounding Worldcoin. This altcoin sector has managed to reach new highs in trading volume amid stagnant market conditions.
Kaiko pointed to the power of AI-focused altcoin projects
According to the latest data from Kaiko, AI Coins have reached approximately $870 million in trading volume, up from $570 million at the end of July. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and altcoin markets continued their horizontal movements.
Worldcoin’s July debut has shifted attention to artificial intelligence-powered tokens (AI tokens) for weeks. Kaiko’s latest data shows that the AI industry has shown resilience despite the controversy surrounding Worldcoin’s launch.

According to the report, the trading volume of AI-driven altcoin projects has remained stable over the past month. The research shows that volume has increased from $570 million at the end of July to approximately $870 million. However, there is a marked decrease compared to the volume at the beginning of the year.
Changes in global risk perception negatively affected interest in AI projects in July, according to Kaiko analyst Dessislava Ianeva. In particular, the total open interest of five leading AI tokens, including FET, GRT, RNDR, OCEAN, and ROSE, dropped from $170 million to $60 million from February to August.
Worldcoin is under investigation in multiple countries
Worldcoin (WLD) made its debut on July 24, 2023. The next-generation project soon caught the attention of the altcoin community. The interest in the altcoin project is primarily attributed to its co-founder Sam Altman, who serves as the CEO of OpenAI. However, Worldcoin (WLD) has been in a downtrend lately. Today, it moved upwards by around 2%.
Worldcoin’s primary goal is to create a network consisting only of real people, excluding automated bots. The San Francisco-based company plans to give ‘World IDs’ to people around the world. It aims for a future where individuals can interact with “global” websites without needing to disclose personal information such as name, phone number or email address.
However, global regulators and privacy advocates have raised significant concerns about the initiative, pointing to what they see as a lack of clarity in the organization’s data collection procedures. The collection of extensive personal data by a single organization raises significant concerns about data privacy. As reported by Kriptokoin.com, the altcoin project is currently under investigation in the UK.
