Adding fuel to the fire, DeFi Squared revealed that someone from the Worldcoin team was allegedly involved in buying tokens ahead of the announcement. This has led to accusations of insider trading and market manipulation, casting a shadow over the recent price surge.

The cryptocurrency community is now closely watching Worldcoin, seeking transparency and accountability. As the investigation unfolds, the market will be keen to see how these allegations impact the project’s credibility and future.
