Eightco Holdings Inc. Expands Investor Access with Options Trading
Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) recently unveiled an exciting development for investors by introducing options trading, significantly broadening the avenues for participation. This initiative comes on the heels of a remarkable milestone, as the company's global network has now surpassed
17 million verified users, marking an increase of over
2 million in just three weeks since the launch of the Worldcoin Treasury.
The new
Power of 8 initiative aims to reach an ambitious target of
800 million Worldcoin (WLD) tokens and to establish a verified community of
8 billion people.
Dan Ives, a renowned technology and AI expert, serves as the Chairman of the Board, emphasizing the company's commitment to innovation and accessibility.
The World platform is set to redefine the concept of
Single Sign-On (SSO) and human verification in the AI era. Sam Altman, a prominent figure in the tech industry, predicts that if their mission succeeds,
World could transform into the largest network of real people online. This vision not only aims to enhance the verification process but also intends to alter how individuals engage in online transactions.
Ives noted, "We are making rapid strides toward our Power of 8 initiative, and achieving
17 million verified individuals marks a critical step towards a universally trusted digital environment." Kevin O'Donnell, CEO of Eightco, added, "The number
17 million is significant for our Power of 8 narrative, as
8 raised to the power of 8 equals
17 million. I'm excited to visit World businesses in places like Singapore and Seoul, where we will engage with other ORBS members."
In addition to the user milestone, Eightco announced that standardized options on its common stock are now tradable under the ticker symbol
ORBS on the
Nasdaq Options Market. This new trading feature will offer investors a variety of standardized expiration dates and exercise prices. The introduction of options enhances investor accessibility, provides necessary risk management tools, and improves the overall liquidity of the company's stock.
"With options trading available, investors now have new opportunities to engage with our growth and momentum," Ives remarked, underscoring the potential for this financial instrument to create a more dynamic investment landscape.
As part of its mission to elevate awareness regarding
$ORBS and
Worldcoin, Ives will embark on the
ORBS World Tour, visiting key cities where World operations are established. The tour will include stops in:
- - October 6: Los Angeles
- - October 7: San Francisco

- - October 22-23: Kuala Lumpur
- - October 24-25: Singapore
