Sam Altman’s crypto project, Worldcoin (WLD), will be available for most of the United States for the first time. His American beginnings will see him registered on Coinbase, the most popular crypto exchange in America.
Like its launch in Asia and other territories, participants who score their eyes on a global location of Orb will receive 16 WLD. It remains to be seen how popular the project will be in the United States compared to other countries.

The World Altman World project officially launches in the United StatesThe Americans have signed and recorded with the global application to receive more than $ 150 of WLD parts
Aside from those who win WLD for swept their eyes via the World Orb Tech, the WorldCoin team gives “pioneers’ subsidies” to users who have downloaded and recorded with the global application. The subsidy is delivered with 150 WLD deposited directly in their portfolio, which is worth around $ 155 at current prices.
The Worldcoin website says more than 12 million retinas have been scanned. There are currently 894 orb locations worldwide. Locations include Brazil, Germany, Japan, Singapore and now the United States.
More than 7,000 orbs will be available for IRIS scans in physical locations of “world space”. The locations are Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville and San Francisco, as well as in Razer game stores.
Worldcoin was created by Tools for Humanity, a start-up co-founded by Sam Altman. The company updated the physical design of the ORB last year, and yesterday (April 30), it teased a smaller “mini” that looks like a smartphone.
The tools for the expansion by the humanity of Worldcoin in the United States at some point is not a coincidence. The previous SEC president, Gary Gensler, adopted an online approach of the crypto, setting up roadblocks for investors and web 3 companies, which has led to many people who leave the country for more equitable regulations.
However, with Trump as president, there was an important pivot of the previous administration, with the more equitable transparency and regulations for the new dry. This political change has given the firm supported by Sam Altman the confidence necessary to launch Worldcoin in the United States.
However, the WLD token is still not available in New York State, which is historically known as the most difficult state for any business related to the crypto.

Worldcoin also launches a visa debit card for WLD expenses
In addition to its American launch, Tools for Humanity also works with Visa to publish a debit card later in 2025. The WLD should be converted into Fiat in the cashier. Sam Altman, the president in office of Tools for Humanity, personally announced visa news.
Altman announced the news alongside CEO Alex Blania during a press event in San Francisco on Wednesday, nicknamed “finally”. The event was also used to promote the launch of Worldcoin and Iris Scanning Orbes in the United States.
Currently, the main way to use WorldCoin is via the World Wallet application, which allows users to send WLD cryptocurrencies and other cryptocurrencies via a private chat service linked to global IDs.
The Mobile World Application also offers more than 150 mini-supports, including a news from the KALSHI prediction market. World also launches identification integrations with huge names, Stripe to Match Group (Tinder parent company) and the game giant, Razer.
The startup mission is controversial. Since its creation in 2019, the team has clearly indicated its objective of making World ID the main method to verify humans online. Sam Altman recognized the societal impact of AI technology, including its own OpenAi.
As AI becomes more advanced and widespread, a system like World ID will become necessary to distinguish what is generated and what is not. In an even more disturbing and dystopian vision of the future, Altman declared his ultimate vision of a future where Worldcoin could serve as a form of universal basic income for people whose jobs have been replaced by AI.

The launch of the world in the United States does not prevent the WLD token from being in the red: 1.5% on the day
Even with Worldcoin in the news due to its American launch and Sam Altman is making media sleeves in the United States to promote the project, its native WLD token is still down 1.5% today.
However, during the rear zoom, the graph depicts a more positive image. WLD has increased by 26% in the last 7 days and 35% over a period of 14 days. The force presented in April comes from Worldcoin preparing for today’s launch in the United States and, with it, a Coinbase list for his WLD token.
Having access to American customers on Coinbase is a huge feat. In 2024, Coinbase would have 600,000 daily active users of the United States on its platform and more than 100 million users worldwide.
This daily drop in the WLD token at $ 1.06 firmly placed it in a healthy support area. If he holds here and bounces, $ 1.18 would be a short -term goal before trying an annual summit of $ 2.61 from January. However, a daily fence below $ 1 would probably lead to a short -term trend with $ 0.84 the next level of support.
