Negative perception, a lack of stability in the digital asset trading platforms, manipulation of trading platforms by customers, and/or the closure or temporary shutdown of such trading platforms may reduce confidence in WLD generally and result in greater volatility in the market price of WLD and the Common Stock. Furthermore, the closure or temporary shutdown of a WLD trading platform may impact the Company’s ability to determine the value of its WLD holdings.

The Worldcoin network relies on the Internet and proprietary hardware (such as the Orb for biometric verification). A significant disruption of Internet connectivity or the failure of the Orb hardware could disrupt the Worldcoin network’s functionality until such disruption is resolved.

Worldcoin, like other cryptocurrencies, is susceptible to various forms of cyberattacks, including denial-of-service attacks, border gateway protocol hijacking, and other security breaches. If such attacks occur, participants may lose faith in the security of WLD, which could affect its value and consequently the value of the Common Stock.

The Worldcoin ecosystem also relies on smart contracts and other blockchain-based technologies, which are subject to technical vulnerabilities, coding errors, security flaws, and exploits. Any vulnerability in a smart contract or the Worldcoin protocol could result in the loss or theft of WLD or other digital assets, which could have a materially adverse impact on our business.

The trading prices of many cryptocurrencies, including WLD, have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Extreme volatility in the future, including further declines in the trading price of WLD, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Common Stock and the Common Stock could lose all or substantially all of their value.
