This unexpected turn has been classified as the “OpenAI coup” and has generated a great stir in the community.
Despite public reactions, ranging from speculation to sarcasm, the news has had a palpable impact on the cryptocurrency market and has put Worldcoin in the spotlight.
These events show the close relationship between corporate developments and the volatility of the cryptocurrency market.
