Catenaa, Monday, June 30, 2025- Worldcoin’s digital identity platform, World ID, has crossed 100 million verifications across third-party applications, signaling wide adoption even as the project faces mounting scrutiny from global regulators.
The milestone was announced alongside a $1 million reward campaign for developers, and reports show over 6.9 million WLD tokens were used in Mini Apps last week.
The BitGo-backed integration of USDC stablecoin support also expands infrastructure capabilities for the project, now rebranded as World Network.
Despite this growth, WLD’s token remains battered. Priced at around 88 cents, it is down nearly 90 percent from its March 2024 high of $11.74. Volatility was heightened by Sam Altman’s announcement in May of a $6.5 billion OpenAI hardware partnership with famed Apple designer Jony Ive.
Regulatory pushback continues to cloud Worldcoin’s future. Kenya’s High Court ordered the deletion of all biometric data collected in the country, citing illegal consent methods.
Indonesia halted operations over licensing failures, while Brazil, Germany, and South Korea have all taken enforcement actions or launched probes.
To counter this, World Network has added new verification methods using NFC-enabled passports for privacy-conscious identity checks without revealing full personal data.
Worldcoin says the rise in real-world adoption positions its protocol for broader use, even as compliance demands continue to intensify in key jurisdictions.
