World, the cryptocurrency project backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, is launching in the United States, according to a published statement.
World (formerly known as Worldcoin) will launch in six US cities, including Los Angeles and Miami, and will allow users to earn WLD tokens by verifying their identity.
It was stated that World will launch in six cities: Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville and San Francisco.
It was also stated that World will give WLD tokens to new users in exchange for their registration.
World also announced that it will be offering a Visa card connected to the World App for spending crypto. Accordingly, World plans to launch a Visa card that will allow users to pay for goods and services using WLD tokens and other cryptocurrencies.
The new card will be available in the US later this year.
“World Card will connect directly to an individual’s World App wallet, allowing them to spend their digital assets wherever Visa is accepted.
“Traders can seamlessly buy fiat currency without needing to understand crypto, while individuals gain flexibility in how they use their digital assets.”
