EASTON, Pa., Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) has started its 'Power of 8' plan. It aims for 800 million Worldcoin (WLD) tokens and 8 billion verified humans. Since September 8, the World has added 1.9 million verified people, reaching 16.9 million total. The goal is 100 million in the next year.

"World is the single sign-on for the AI age. It makes online trust and privacy possible for everyone," said Dan Ives, the new Chairman of Eightco Holdings Inc. (ORBS). "AI systems are worth trillions. Human security, or 'Proof of Human,' is worth billions. Over time, this could rise to $200–$300 billion. That means each WLD coin could be worth $20–$30."

Ives added, "We believe in the 'Power of 8': ORBS reaching 800 million WLD tokens and verifying 8 billion humans. What we’ve seen so far is only the beginning."

The world now needs strong digital trust. President Trump spoke at the United Nations, saying he will "meet with world leaders to build an AI verification system that everyone can trust."

"We also saw the need for a money network," said Sam Altman, Co-founder of World and OpenAI. "People and AIs should be able to trade safely. Proof of humanity makes that possible."

Blockchain helps make human verification safe. Ben Horowitz, Co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, said, "Crypto is the money of the Internet. It’s like an economic system for AI."

Eightco Holdings Inc. (ORBS) wants to build a global system for digital identity. World’s Orb technology helps people prove who they are online. The Orbs verify real humans, share tokens fairly, and build a trusted ID system. World aims to become the top platform for online verification worldwide.
