- WorldCoinは、米国の生体認証IDネットワークを拡大するために1億3500万ドルを調達しました。
- ケニアの裁判所はWorldCoinを禁止し、生体認証データを命じました。
- インドネシアは規制違反のためにワールドコインを停止しました。
したがって、ワールドコイン財団は、トークンセールでなんと1億3500万ドルでかき集められました。2025年5月21日に発表されたこの契約では、Aの古き良き契約で生体認証アイデンティティシステムを構築するために、Andreessen HorowitzやBain Capital Crypto CryptoがWLD Tokensを直接購入します。この勇敢な新世界の虹彩によって虹彩によって識別されたくないのは誰だろうか？ 🙄
With this cash infusion, Worldcoin plans to set up Orb devices across the country. Yes, you heard that right—scanning your iris to get a digital ID is now a thing. The project kicked off in six US cities, including the glamorous Los Angeles and the sun-soaked Miami, on May 1, 2025, right after a little sprinkle of positive crypto regulation. How delightful! 🌞
Worldcoin’s grand vision? A single world identity system. Because why not? This investment is supposed to help improve the infrastructure of World ID, a blockchain verification service. A spokesperson for Worldcoin claimed this would help them expand a secure human network. You know, just like Visa and Tinder are doing—because nothing says romance like biometric data! 💔
As investors jumped on the non-discounted, market-priced tokens, the project’s value shot up by 14% after the announcement. And guess what? Over 10 million people have already signed up. Talk about a biometric party! 🎉
Kenya has stopped allowing Worldcoin operations.
But wait! Kenya’s High Court decided to rain on Worldcoin’s parade on May 5, 2025, ruling that they were acting illegally due to breaches of the Data Protection Act of 2019. Justice Roselyne Aburili declared that any biometric data collected from Kenyans must be erased within a week. Because who needs privacy, right? 😅
About 350,000 Kenyans had already enrolled in Worldcoin, happily receiving cryptocurrency tokens valued at $55 each after their irises were scanned. The court thought that financial incentives made the process illegal because, apparently, informed consent is a thing. The Data Protection Commissioner’s Office will now supervise the data deletion process. How comforting! 🙈
This ruling came after advocacy groups, including the Katiba Institute, fought tooth and nail in court for two years. “The decision protects people’s privacy worldwide and brings a new standard,” said a representative from the Katiba Institute. Kenya’s move is a major blow to Worldcoin in one of its biggest markets. Ouch! 😬
There are growing problems with regulation at the global level.
Right after Kenya’s ruling, Indonesia decided to hit the brakes on Worldcoin, claiming the company had engaged in some suspicious activity. Investigators from South Korea, Germany, and Spain are now looking into the project’s use of biometric data. Many are arguing that giving tokens for iris scans might be a tad unethical, especially in developing countries. Shocking, I know! 😱
Worldcoin insists that their Orb devices convert eye scans into coded information and then erase the original data to keep things private. But with reports of unofficial iris scans popping up in places like Cambodia, one has to wonder. To combat fraud, they’ve started using dynamic QR codes. Because nothing says “trust us” like a QR code! 📱
Despite all the regulatory hiccups, Worldcoin is still expanding its global presence. The project is now in over 160 countries, with two million active users each day. More than 70 million transactions have been processed through its World App, a crypto wallet. The US is enjoying a nice regulatory environment, but the rest of the world? Not so much. 😬
Thanks to a collaboration between Fireblocks and Alchemy, Worldcoin is working on improving its infrastructure. The goal? To align its identity system with financial and government systems everywhere. Because who wouldn’t want their identity tied to their bank and the government? Sounds like a match made in heaven! 😇
