$WLD World (formerly known as Worldcoin) – the controversial digital currency backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman – has just announced its launch in the US, according to The Block.

The project will be implemented in 6 major cities, including Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, and San Francisco. Users can receive WLD tokens for free by verifying their identity through the World App.

This is a step to expand the user base after a trial period in several countries, despite concerns related to privacy when collecting biometric data through eye-scanning technology.

Integration of Visa card, expanding payment capabilities

In addition to issuing tokens, World also announced plans to launch the World Card – a type of Visa card directly linked to the World App wallet, allowing users to spend cryptocurrency (including WLD and other coins) anywhere that accepts Visa.#Write2Earn
