The 1.5% decline in the global cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours attracted attention. Notably, Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, fell 1%. But amidst this overall decline, some specific altcoins are performing remarkably.
First, an AI asset called Worldcoin (WLD) is making a name for itself with a 44% market cap increase in May. Its recovery from the bottom observed towards the end of April is increasing interest among investors. On the other hand, this upward momentum coincides with the increased interest following Warren Buffett’s controversial statements.
Warren Buffett’s statements about artificial intelligence’s potential contribution to illegal activities have increased interest in digital assets such as cryptocurrencies. This has become especially evident in new and potentially innovative projects such as Worldcoin. When evaluating the future potential of such projects, investors consider many different perspectives that contradict or mitigate Buffett’s concerns.
In parallel with this increase, Santiment datas, revealed that WLD’s total open positions increased significantly by 21.5%, from $131.9 million to $160.3 million in the past day. This shows that investors’ interest in Worldcoin is increasing.
In response to these market dynamics, WLD reached a trading price of $6, a level not seen in three weeks. Currently, the asset’s market cap stands at $1.32 billion, positioning it as the 70th largest digital currency by market cap.
Litecoin Makes a Strong Comeback
Another notable altcoin is Litecoin (LTC). Litecoin has been making significant developments lately, which increases interest in the market.
Litecoin has gained renewed attention due to discussions with Grayscale about potential Litecoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This renewed interest has increased speculation and the market’s focus on future ETF developments.
As popular crypto trader Kamikaze noted, Santiment’s latest data shed light on Litecoin’s market behavior. Accordingly, whales purchased 100,000 LTC between April 28 and May 4. This behavior suggests potential long-term bullish sentiment among large investors.

However, the EMA, a reliable technical indicator, signals a potential downtrend between the 20-day and 100-day EMAs. This could increase selling pressure and prolong the current consolidation. Moreover, the daily RSI around 44% indicates a neutral to bearish market sentiment.
As these altcoins continue to make waves in the crypto space, investors are closely monitoring developments and market dynamics to take advantage of emerging opportunities. The volatility and rapid changes of the global cryptocurrency market present investors with both risks and opportunities, which always makes the dynamics of the market interesting.
