The investment comes as World Foundation marks three years since launching its network, which now counts over 39 million members and more than 18 million individuals verified via Orb devices.
World Network has processed upwards of 475 million World ID proofs since inception, signaling a shift from merely building infrastructure to focusing on scaling practical utility.

Total cash and stablecoins are reported at $142 million, putting Eightco’s overall holdings near $391 million.
The participation in this round aligns with Eightco’s strategy of gaining exposure to innovative private companies and valuable digital assets, including its recent support program for Bitcoin miners amid challenging market conditions.
