Ali tweeted that the Worldcoin transaction count skyrocketed today, on Dec. 14, as cryptocurrency whales withdrew approximately 3.6 million WDL from crypto exchanges. Ali concluded that whales are “gearing up for a big price move.”

Among these whales was cryptocurrency company Amber Group. According to blockchain sleuth @OnchainDataNerd several hours ago, it withdrew 2.02 million WLD from OKX exchange – that is more than 50% of the aforementioned whale transactions that witnessed a massive spike today.

Today, <a href="https://u.today/worldcoin-wld-up-5-after-historic-embrace-in-latam">Worldcoin</a> has already witnessed an impressive 12.78% price surge. However, it was followed by a big red candlestick on an hourly chart, making it suffer a 6.11% drop. WLD is <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/WLDWUSD/">exchanging hands at $2.55</a> at the time of this writing.
The massive price surge and the above-mentioned whales’ withdrawals were likely caused by the recent major upgrade rolled out by Worldcoin.

The Worldcoin team has announced the launch of a major upgrade – Worldcoin ID 2.0. They have expanded their system of digital identity by including biometric authentication by face and adding support for several widespread online services.
There are three levels of the upgraded ID: “World ID device level,” “World ID Orb” and “World ID Orb+.” They all ensure a much better level of digital ID verification. Besides, World ID 2.0 works much faster than the previous version (about 24 times faster), the Worldcoin team stated in a recently <a href="https://worldcoin.org/blog/announcements/introducing-world-id-2.0">published blog post</a> with the details of the upgrade.
The popular global services that have integrated World ID now expanded to games and social media, as well as online commerce platforms Minecraft, Telegram, Shopify and Mercado Libre.
Sam Altman announced on X that OpenAI has renewed ChatGPT+ subscriptions. Altman was recently restored to the position of OpenAI CEO after he was fired by the management board and invited by Microsoft to join its newly opened AI department.
