Coldcard-linked Bitcoin thefts may have reached 2,055 BTC, worth approximately $132 million at current prices, as multiple attackers race to drain wallets generated with vulnerable firmware. Galaxy Research has high confidence that three major waves and 14 smaller incidents removed 1,596 BTC from roughly 7,300 addresses. A suspected fourth wave would lift the total to 2,055 BTC across more than 7,700 addresses, although Galaxy has not received enough victim reports to classify that group with the same confidence.

Worldcoin Flips Dogecoin In 24H Volume As WLD Liquidity Spikes
Worldcoin has overtaken Dogecoin in 24-hour trading volume, giving WLD a rare liquidity win over one of crypto’s most established meme assets.
WLD’s turnover was the sharper market move. Live market trackers placed Worldcoin around the billion-dollar range in 24-hour volume, while Dogecoin sat closer to the mid-hundreds of millions. That gave WLD a clear volume lead even though DOGE remained the far larger asset by market capitalization.
The flip is not a size flip. Dogecoin still has the deeper brand, broader holder base and larger market cap. The latest volume gap shows where short-term risk appetite is moving: traders are turning over WLD faster as AI-linked identity, World Chain activity and high-beta altcoin positioning return to focus.
That distinction matters for how the move should be read. A volume flip can show momentum, exchange depth and active speculation, but it can also fade quickly if the rotation cools. WLD’s lead over DOGE is a trading signal first, not proof that Worldcoin has replaced Dogecoin as a larger market asset.
AI Identity Trade Pulls Traders Back To WLD
Worldcoin’s volume spike comes as the AI-identity narrative regains attention. The project sits around World ID, World App, World Chain and WLD, tying the token to proof-of-humanity infrastructure at a time when AI agents, bots and synthetic content are becoming larger market themes.
That story has already produced several sharp WLD moves this month. Worldcoin recently added about $350 million in market value as buyers returned to AI-linked tokens, while World Chain bridge deposits doubled in a month, giving traders an onchain liquidity signal beyond centralized-exchange volume.
The newest volume flip gives that setup another layer. WLD is not only rising on narrative interest. It is also trading with enough turnover to beat DOGE, a token that usually acts as one of the largest retail liquidity magnets outside Bitcoin, Ethereum and the biggest Layer 1s.
Arthur Hayes’ latest comments add tension to the move. Hayes said Maelstrom sold WLD, HYPE and NEAR because the broader AI trade may be close to a peak, placing Worldcoin inside the current AI-liquidity debate. WLD’s volume surge shows traders are still actively chasing or fading that theme even after a high-profile exit from the trade.
DOGE Still Holds The Larger Market Base
Dogecoin’s lower 24-hour volume does not erase its position. DOGE remains one of the largest crypto assets by market cap and the main liquidity benchmark for meme coins. Its trading base is broad, mature and spread across major spot and derivatives exchanges.
WLD is a different trade. Its volume is more concentrated around narrative rotation, AI identity, World Chain activity, unlock risk and sharp momentum flows. That can create stronger short-term turnover than DOGE during active windows, but it also makes WLD more vulnerable to fast reversals when liquidity leaves the theme.
Supply remains the major pressure point. WLD has previously traded nearly 98% below its peak as unlocks and weak derivatives demand weighed on the token. The current volume lead helps the bull case only if it comes with sustained demand, deeper exchange books and stronger World Chain usage rather than a short burst of crowded trading.
price
price change
WLD’s volume lead gives Worldcoin the stronger short-term trading signal, while DOGE still holds the larger market-cap base and meme-coin liquidity network. The next pressure point is whether WLD can keep turnover ahead of Dogecoin once the AI-identity rotation cools, especially with World Chain activity, exchange depth and unlock risk still shaping how quickly traders move in and out of the token.

Altura Says £16.4M Bank Account Restricted During Vault Wind-Down

How to Get a Funded Crypto Trading Account in 2026 Step by Step
A funded crypto trading account gives a trader access to more notional capital after they prove they can follow a firm’s risk rules. The usual route starts with a paid crypto prop firm challenge that requires a profit target without breaching daily or overall loss limits. Passing is not only about making money. Drawdown control, minimum trading days and rule compliance determine whether the account survives. The evaluation fee can be lost, and crypto prop firms use different account models,...

How To Trade Tokenized Stock Perps: Leverage, Funding And Risks
Tokenized stock perps allow traders to take long or short exposure to companies, ETFs and equity indexes through crypto-native derivatives markets. Positions can use stablecoin collateral, remain open without an expiry date and continue trading when the main stock exchange is closed. The trader receives price exposure, not ownership of the referenced shares. The interface often looks identical to a crypto perpetual futures market. The risk does not. A stock-linked contract can remain active overnight, through weekends and during holidays...

What Are Crypto Data Aggregators? Price, Volume, Token Data, And Market Tracking Explained
Crypto data aggregators turn scattered market information into one usable research layer. Instead of checking separate exchanges, DEX pools, block explorers, wallet dashboards, token pages, protocol analytics, and portfolio apps, users can compare price, market capitalization, trading volume, liquidity, supply, exchange pairs, contract addresses, DeFi activity, and on-chain movement from one place. Crypto markets are fragmented across venues, chains, and token versions, so the same asset can trade on centralized exchanges, several decentralized exchanges, multiple networks, and wrapped or bridged...
