Worldcoin Launches Biometric Verification and Cryptocurrency in Six US Cities
- Worldcoin has launched its biometric identity verification system and WLD cryptocurrency in the US.
- The project is available in Atlanta, Nashville, Miami, Los Angeles, Austin, and San Francisco.
- Backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, it uses eye-scanning Orb devices for digital ID creation.
- Users receive WLD tokens and a World ID for authentication on platforms like Minecraft and Reddit.
- Spain and Portugal have suspended operations over biometric data concerns.
- Partnerships include a Visa-backed debit card for WLD spending and a trial with Match Group.
Worldcoin’s expansion into six major US cities introduces its biometric verification system despite regulatory challenges abroad. Users can now authenticate their identities using eye-scanning technology to receive WLD tokens.
