Eightco provides indirect exposure to some of the most innovative private companies including OpenAI and Beast Industries
EASTON, Pa., July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("Eightco" or the "Company") today provided an update on its total holdings, highlighting its position across digital assets and strategic investments in leading private technology companies.
As of July 8, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. ET, ORBS' holdings include a $90 million investment (indirectly, through SPVs) in OpenAI, an $18 million funded investment in Beast Industries, a $1 million investment in Mythical Games, 283,452,700 Worldcoin (WLD) at $0.39 per WLD (per Coinbase), 16,278 Ethereum (ETH), and approximately $149 million in total cash and stablecoins, for total holdings of approximately $397 million.
Top Headlines Driving the News:
ORBS management believes the Company's treasury portfolio holds some of the most critical components for the future AI and digital financial system. This week's top headlines include:
OpenAI announced it will publicly release its GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna models on July 9, 2026. According to OpenAI, GPT-5.6 Sol is its "strongest model yet" and is more capable across coding, biology and cybersecurity (CNBC).
On July 8, it was announced that the OpenAI Deployment Company agreed to acquire Northslope, an applied AI firm. The deal expands the Deployment Company's team to hundreds of "forward deployed engineers" (FDEs) who work alongside customers to build AI systems within their organizations. This highlights how the AI race may be defined by who can get businesses to use their AI tools rather than model releases (Axios).
On July 7, ABC announced MrBeast will appear as a guest Shark on Shark Tank Season 18 this fall. The appearance marks the world's most-subscribed creator's debut as an investor on the program (ABC).
On July 6, World opened its flagship London store, where visitors can learn about the benefits of private proof of human and verify their humanness via an Orb (World).
Later this month, on July 24, 2026, the amount of WLD entering the market each day will automatically drop by 43%, from about 5.1 million to about 2.9 million tokens per day, as the token's heaviest three-year release period ends (World Foundation). This schedule was established in the World whitepaper at the token's inception. The Company holds 283,452,700 WLD, about 8.1% of all WLD on the market today and the largest publicly disclosed position in the world. That position does not change on July 24, what changes is the supply of WLD will continue to increase, but the rate of supply increases following July 24 will be at roughly half the previous pace.
"Seemingly every week, the capabilities and innovations from AI continue to astound markets," said Thomas "Tom" Lee, Board Member of Eightco. "OpenAI's upcoming release of GPT-5.6 and its acquisition of Northslope demonstrate that the next phase of AI is not only about building more capable models, but also driving enterprise adoption at scale."
"Regarding World, we view their expansion into London as reflective of the growing importance of trusted digital identity as AI becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life. We believe ORBS is uniquely positioned through its exposure to both OpenAI and World, two platforms that are helping define the future of artificial intelligence and the infrastructure required to support it." continued Lee.
Eightco: Exposure to key mega-trends
Eightco is built around three mega-trends the Company expects to shape the next decade of innovation: artificial intelligence, digital identity, and the creator economy, with positions in each trend through indirect investment in OpenAI (23% of ORBS' treasury holdings), Worldcoin (28%), and Beast Industries (5%).
Artificial Intelligence — OpenAI
Eightco has invested approximately $90 million in special purpose vehicles with exposure to equity interests in the parent company of OpenAI, representing approximately 23% of treasury assets, one of the highest disclosed concentrations of any listed vehicle.
ChatGPT, OpenAI's consumer app, is the #1 consumer AI app worldwide (Sensor Tower) and crossed 900 million weekly active users in February 2026, making it the fastest-scaling consumer technology in history (UBS via Reuters).
Digital Identity — WLD Token
Eightco holds over 283 million WLD, approximately 8.1% of circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally and approximately 28% of the Eightco treasury's assets.
Worldcoin is the native token of World, a global Proof of Human network built by Tools for Humanity (co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania) and stewarded by the World Foundation. Its Orb devices issue a privacy-preserving World ID that verifies a user is a unique human, not an AI agent.
Under World's announced business model, applications pay per-verification fees while end-user verification remains free, with both credential issuers and the World protocol monetizing verified-human authentication. World identifies a $6.35 trillion combined addressable revenue opportunity across 13 industries spanning banking, e-commerce, gaming, social media, and agentic AI (per Tools for Humanity).
Creator Economy — Beast Industries
Eightco has invested $18 million in Beast Industries equity, approximately 5% of treasury assets.
Beast Industries operates one of the largest direct-to-consumer reach footprints in the world, with a combined 500 million-plus follower base across platforms, anchored by MrBeast as the most-watched person on YouTube globally. As AI commoditizes content production, distribution and audience trust become increasingly scarce assets.

(NASDAQ: ORBS) is a publicly traded company executing a first-of-its-kind Worldcoin (WLD) treasury strategy, providing investors single-ticker indirect exposure to three of the defining trends of this cycle: artificial intelligence through its indirect investment in OpenAI, digital identity through its position as the largest public holder of WLD and the Proof of Human protocol, and the creator economy through its equity stake in MrBeast's Beast Industries.

Kraken ranks first among MiCA-regulated exchanges with over $399 million in spot liquidity and $206 million in perpetual liquidity.
DefiLlama data shows Kraken leads market coverage with 1,704 listed markets, ahead of Coinbase and Crypto.com.
The MiCA framework is reshaping competition as licensed exchanges compete on liquidity, compliance, and trading products.
Kraken has emerged as the leading MiCA-regulated cryptocurrency exchange by spot liquidity, perpetual liquidity, and market coverage, according to DefiLlama's MiCA dashboard. The data, released after the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets framework took effect on July 1, shows Kraken ahead of Coinbase and other licensed trading platforms across key trading metrics.
https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/2074918297368477962?s=20
Kraken Leads Across Trading Metrics
According to DefiLlama, Kraken holds $399.71 million in spot liquidity, the highest among MiCA-regulated exchanges. The exchange also leads perpetual liquidity with $206.90 million. Coinbase follows with $305.23 million in spot liquidity and $167.39 million in perpetual liquidity.
The gap between the two exchanges reaches nearly $95 million in spot liquidity. Meanwhile, DefiLlama's live dashboard later showed Kraken remaining above $400 million in spot liquidity. The platform also leads market coverage with 1,704 listed markets. Coinbase ranks second with 1,074 markets, while Crypto.com follows with 883.
Other Exchanges Show Lower Liquidity
Beyond the two largest exchanges, liquidity falls sharply across other regulated platforms. According to DefiLlama, Crypto.com reports $130.84 million in spot liquidity. Bitstamp follows with $54.62 million, while Bybit records $50.19 million.
OKX, Gate, and Backpack report $11.92 million, $6.94 million, and $5.43 million in spot liquidity, respectively. For perpetual liquidity, Backpack holds $41.19 million, while OKX reports $20.54 million. Gate, Bitstamp, and Bybit were not listed among the leading perpetual liquidity providers.
MiCA Creates New Competitive Landscape
According to DefiLlama, the dashboard allows users to compare liquidity, compliance status, fees, and market coverage across licensed exchanges.
Earlier reports noted that Kraken secured its MiCA license from the Central Bank of Ireland in June 2025. The authorization allows the exchange to provide regulated services across the European Economic Area.
Coinbase also established its MiCA operations through Luxembourg before the framework took effect. According to earlier reports, OKX expanded regulated services across 28 European Economic Area markets after receiving approval in Malta.
The latest DefiLlama figures show liquidity, trading products, and market coverage now distinguish licensed exchanges operating under the European Union's unified crypto regulatory framework.

Ron Wyden called on Senate leaders to preserve BRCA protections for non-custodial blockchain developers in the CLARITY Act.
Wyden said the proposal clarifies developers are not money transmitters if they do not control customer assets.
The senator argued BRCA preserves law enforcement powers while providing greater legal certainty for blockchain developers.
Sen. Ron Wyden urged Senate leaders to keep the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) in any version of the Clarity Act brought to the Senate floor. Wyden sent the request to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer as lawmakers continue discussions over the bill, while questions remain about support from law enforcement groups and several Democratic senators.
Wyden Defends BRCA Language
In his letter, Wyden said Section 604, known as the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, would preserve legal protections for non-custodial blockchain developers. According to Wyden, the provision would codify existing federal policy by clarifying that software developers should not become money transmitters simply for publishing software.
He said the protection applies only when developers do not control customer assets. Therefore, developers creating non-custodial tools would receive greater legal certainty under the proposal.
Wyden added that the language aligns the Bank Secrecy Act with the criminal code while reflecting existing guidance from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
Debate Continues Over Senate Bill
The request comes as uncertainty remains over whether some law enforcement organizations will support the BRCA language.
According to the information provided, lawmakers are also weighing whether revisions could help secure votes from Democratic senators, including Catherine Cortez Masto and Mark Warner.
Wyden argued that removing the provision could affect software developers building decentralized finance applications in the United States. He also noted that he introduced the standalone BRCA legislation alongside Senator Cynthia Lummis as the Democratic co-sponsor.
Letter Stresses Law Enforcement Powers
Wyden said the proposal would not weaken anti-money laundering or counter-terrorism financing requirements. Instead, he wrote that the measure would preserve the authority of the Department of Justice and FinCEN to investigate criminal activity.
He also pointed to an exception within the proposal. According to Wyden, developers who transfer or use funds connected to illegal activity would not receive protection.
The senator said the approach would allow investigators to focus resources on unlicensed money-transmitting businesses and other criminal actors. He closed the letter by urging Thune and Schumer to retain the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act in any Senate version of the Clarity Act.

Crypto adoption continues expanding as institutional participation grows despite ongoing uncertainty surrounding future U.S. regulatory direction and policy.
CZ said future political outcomes remain unpredictable, while broader blockchain adoption continues reshaping the industry's long-term trajectory globally.
Growing investor participation and public company involvement may reshape future crypto policy discussions across the United States political landscape.
Crypto Regulation Outlook remains a major discussion point after fresh comments addressed future U.S. policy uncertainty. Market participants continue monitoring regulation as digital asset adoption expands across investors and publicly listed companies.
CZ Addresses Future Political Uncertainty
Wu Blockchain shared remarks from Binance founder Changpeng Zhao following a CoinDesk interview. The discussion centered on possible future U.S. regulatory actions. Questions also focused on potential subpoenas under another administration.
https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/2073710422839243113?s=20
CZ declined to predict future American political developments. He said political outcomes remain difficult to forecast accurately. That response avoided speculation regarding future enforcement decisions.
He also reflected on Binance's previous regulatory challenges. During that period, future policy direction appeared uncertain. He admitted later political developments surprised him.
His comments presented uncertainty as an ongoing market reality. Government priorities continue changing across election cycles. Crypto participants therefore remain attentive to policy developments.
Industry Adoption Expands Beyond Politics
The post shifted attention toward broader cryptocurrency adoption. CZ argued digital assets continue reaching wider audiences. More investors now participate across multiple market segments.
Publicly listed companies have also increased digital asset involvement. Corporate participation has expanded beyond early blockchain businesses. That development broadens cryptocurrency's economic footprint.
CZ suggested expanding participation could influence future political calculations. Larger investor communities create greater public interest in regulation. Policymakers increasingly engage with cryptocurrency-related issues.
Even so, he avoided predicting permanent policy support. Regulatory approaches may still change across administrations. Long-term adoption and political cycles therefore remain separate discussions.
Technology Growth Remains the Central Theme
The post also referenced CZ's comparison with artificial intelligence and the internet. He described cryptocurrency as another transformative technology. Adoption continues advancing despite regulatory uncertainty.
CZ stated blockchain technology has no practical "delete button." Decentralized networks continue operating across global markets. Development therefore extends beyond any single jurisdiction.
Innovation also continues through international participation. Developers, investors, and companies operate across multiple countries. Market activity remains geographically diversified as adoption grows.
The interview presented no forecast regarding future enforcement actions. Instead, it focused on cryptocurrency's broader development trajectory. Growing participation continues shaping the Crypto Regulation Outlook as digital assets become increasingly integrated into financial markets and corporate activity worldwide.

Tether burned $2.5 billion in Ethereum-based USDT, marking its largest single burn since February 2026.
Binance's Tron USDT balance dropped to about $806 million, its lowest level since December 29, 2025.
Analysts said the simultaneous supply shifts likely reflect treasury management and cross-chain liquidity rebalancing.
Tether burned $2.5 billion worth of USDT on the Ethereum network on July 7, its largest single burn since February 2026, according to CryptoQuant. On the same day, Binance's USDT balance on the Tron network dropped to about $806 million, its lowest level since December 29, 2025, drawing attention to simultaneous shifts in stablecoin liquidity.
Ethereum Burn Reaches Five-Month High
According to CryptoQuant, the July 7 transaction reduced Ethereum's circulating USDT supply by approximately 1.3%. The blockchain analytics firm said it was the largest single Ethereum burn recorded in roughly five months.
However, analysts noted that USDT burns usually reflect treasury management rather than permanent supply destruction. They explained that Tether commonly burns tokens during customer redemptions or while rebalancing supply across different blockchain networks.
Despite the burn, USDT continued trading near its one-dollar peg. That stability suggested the operation aligned with routine supply management rather than unusual market conditions.
Binance Tron Holdings Hit Multi-Month Low
At the same time, Binance's USDT balance on the Tron network declined below the $1 billion mark. According to CryptoQuant, the balance fell to approximately $806 million.
The latest figure represents Binance's lowest Tron-based USDT holdings since December 29, 2025. Tron has historically served as one of the primary settlement networks for USDT transfers and exchange activity.
CryptoQuant said the decline crossed a closely watched liquidity threshold. However, available blockchain data does not identify whether the reduction resulted from customer withdrawals, cross-chain transfers, or other treasury adjustments.
Analysts Track Cross-Chain Stablecoin Activity
According to CryptoQuant, the combination of a major Ethereum burn and shrinking Tron liquidity deserves close monitoring. The analytics firm highlighted that both events occurred on the same day.
Analysts added that large USDT burns typically accompany treasury operations and blockchain rebalancing. Nevertheless, they said the simultaneous reduction in Ethereum supply and Binance's Tron balance stands out because both movements occurred together during the same reporting period.

Hakim Torres memutuskan Kalshi gagal menunjukkan bahwa hukum perjudian New York dipreempt (dikesampingkan) oleh Undang-Undang Bursa Komoditas.
Pengadilan mengatakan Kongres mempertahankan kewenangan negara untuk mengatur aktivitas terkait perjudian tertentu di samping pengawasan federal.
Putusan tersebut memindahkan perkara ke tahap mosi untuk menolak setelah menolak permohonan penetapan sementara (preliminary injunction) Kalshi.
