Worldcoin attracts investors on first day
The Worldcoin initiative has attracted attention as it utilizes a device known as an “orb” to scan individuals’ eyes, creating a unique digital identity called “World ID,” which serves as “proof of personhood” for its owner. Sam Altman, Chief Executive Officer of OpenAI, is one of the co-founders of Worldcoin. The project has already started deploying 1,500 orbs to meet the global demand for World IDs. The co-founder’s letter highlights the potential of Worldcoin to significantly expand economic opportunities and establish a reliable means of distinguishing real people from AI entities online.
Following its successful launch, several prominent cryptocurrency exchanges have declared their support for Worldcoin (WLD). Notably, exchanges such as Binance, Gate.io, and KuCoin have listed the token. Binance, for instance, commenced trading for WLD under two trading pairs, WLD/BTC, and WLD/USDT, with withdrawals for the WLD token scheduled to begin on July 25, 2023.
