HBAR vs WLD
Hedera and Worldcoin scored on the same 25 variables, ranked against the same 251 tokens, with every gap between them shown.
Scoring pass 18 Sept 2026. Market snapshot 7 Oct 2026.
What separates them
HBAR scores 112 of 250 and ranks 89th of 251. WLD scores 89 and ranks 196th. HBAR leads by 23 points, which is a real gap, though small enough that one variable moving would close much of it. HBAR takes 13 of the 25 variables, WLD takes 7, and 5 are level.
The framework rates HBAR WATCH and WLD PASS. Two tokens close enough to compare do not have to land in the same band, and where they do not, the divergence table below is where the split comes from.
5 variables separate them by 3 points or more. HBAR is clear on Circulating / FDV Ratio (5 against 1), Regulatory Safety (6 against 2) and Supply Inflation (4 against 1).
Both score 3 or below on Protocol Revenue, P/S Multiple, Buyback and Burn. A weakness both sides share is not a reason to prefer either. It is a reason to check whether the category itself carries the problem.
WLD still has 62% of its eventual supply to enter circulation against 12% for HBAR. On the same market capitalisation, a buyer of WLD is taking the 2.63x dilution path and a buyer of HBAR the 1.14x one.
HBAR is valued at $4.09B against $1.96B for WLD, a 2.1x difference. The larger of the two also scores higher, so the market and the framework agree on the ordering here.
All 25 variables, head to head
Both tokens were scored by the same framework in the same pass, so the numbers are directly comparable. What a comparison adds over two separate pages is the gap: a 6 against a 6 is a non-event, a 9 against a 3 is the reason to hold one and not the other.
