World said users can obtain a Verified Human badge on Zoom and Tinder through Orb iris scans, while its new Concert Kit is aimed at stopping ticket bots. The move also raises questions over biometric data and service access.

Humanity Protocol suffered a major breach after a foundation member’s private key was compromised. Attackers took control of H token permissions on BSC, drained 17 wallets, stole over $32 million, minted 100 million H tokens, and triggered a collapse in price.

Tools for Humanity, the developer behind Sam Altman's World project (formerly Worldcoin), has initiated layoffs affecting an undisclosed number of its ~500 employees. The Orb iris scanner faces bans in at least six countries, while WLD token is down 97% from its all-time high.

Worldcoin’s WLD token climbed about 8% over 24 hours after Grayscale filed an S-1 registration statement to launch the Grayscale Worldcoin ETF, a proposed passive fund that would hold WLD and track its price using the CoinDesk Worldcoin Benchmark Rate. The token reached an intraday high of $0.387 following the filing, although it was still down roughly 5.5% over the past seven days, according to CoinGecko. If approved, the product would list on Nasdaq under the ticker GWLD and use the exchange’s generic listing standards for commodity-based trusts. The filing names BitGo Bank & Trust as custodian and Bank of New York Mellon as transfer agent and administrator. Worldcoin, rebranded as World in 2024, was co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and centers on a biometric identity system built around iris scans collected through the Orb device. The project has faced regulatory scrutiny in the EU as well as in Brazil and Kenya over its biometric data collection practices. The filing adds to Grayscale’s broader push to expand its crypto ETF lineup.

Worldcoin, backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has launched the World App — a minimalist wallet integrating World ID iris recognition. Supporting BTC, ETH and the upcoming Worldcoin token, the app has onboarded 1.5 million beta users and is now available in over 80 countries, with the ultimate goal of providing universal basic income.
