The controversial crypto project Worldcoin (WLD) launched its biometric identity check system and its WLD cryptocurrency in the United States, extending to six large cities.
In a new blog article, Worldcoin says that Americans can use their eye scanners to check their IDs in Atlanta, Nashville, Miami, Los Angeles, Austin and San Francisco.
The project, supported by the CEO of Openai, Sam Altman, uses orb-scanner peripherals to generate unique digital id. Once checked, users receive WLD tokens and a global ID, which can be used for authentication on platforms such as Minecraft, Reddit and Telegram.
The expansion does a meticulous examination in several countries, notably Spain and Portugal, which have suspended global operations concerning concerns concerning the collection and security of biometric data.
Last year, the regulators of Spain ordered the project to stop collecting data after receiving many customer complaints that its data collection process was invasive.
Despite the regulatory challenges, World has obtained partnerships, including a Visa sustained debit card for WLD expenses and a trial with Match Group for the verification of identity on dating applications.
Yesterday, before the announcement of Worldcoin, Coinbase said that he added WLD to his roadmap.
After the launch, WLD prices have briefly increased but dropped later, trading at just over $ 1 – a significant drop in its record level in March 2024. WLD is worth $ 1.08 at the time of writing, up 20% last week.
