Sam Altman’s name became known worldwide with the rise of artificial intelligence and the spread of ChatGPT. However, along with the benefits, innovation has also brought challenges where regular users have to distinguish human, i.e. real, things from fake things. Sam Altman, the first person of OpenAI, and the Worldcoin project he developed are trying to provide a radical answer to this.
The goal of the shared biometric identification platform is to make the global cryptocurrency-based financial structure more secure, but in addition to regulatory issues, they must also address data protection concerns. The updated World App is no longer just a crypto wallet, but also integrates social media and finance into one app. The question is: what will this be enough for?
Everything you need to know about the new World App update
A world app latest version introduced end-to-end encrypted chat and in-chat cryptocurrency-based payments with Venmo-like “send-receive-recording” functionality within World Wallet and virtual accounts. According to Sam Altman’s plans, chat, payments and stablecoin management will now be available within a single application, paving the way for traditional, centralized platforms.

The system supports USDC, EURC, wrapped bitcoin and ether, as well as more than 100 other cryptocurrencies, including tokenized gold and World Chain native tokens, allowing users to pay and trade increasingly across the network. In chat, “real, biometrically verified people” are given a blue bubble and unverified profiles are given a gray bubble, while profile photos are compared to an Orb photo stored on the user’s device to filter out bots while preserving privacy.

The developers aim to create an ecosystem based on partnerships, where sending money, saving, trading and daily micropayments take place on the same “identified but privacy-respecting” interface.
“It is very difficult to identify unique people while maintaining their privacy”
– said Sam Altman at the presentation of the development.
Technical analysis: outlook for WLD
At the time of writing, WLD is trading at $0.60, having lost more than 70% of its value this year. Since peaks in the spring and summer, the digital asset has been in gradual decline – similar to other altcoins – creating a narrowing, sloping wedge formation on the daily chart, which is classically considered a potentially trend-reversing formation in technical analysis. On the attached chart, the upper resistance line, drawn from the highs and the lower support connecting the increasingly higher local lows, closes towards one point, while traffic also gradually decreases – this is often a sign of an impending change in direction.
If it manages to break this downward wedge, WLD’s price could rise to $1.2-$1.4. However, a downside break could lead to a retest of the current support of $0.50-$0.55 and even a deeper correction, which several analysts still see as a real risk in the short term, especially given the uncertain macro environment and volatility of the crypto market. The decisive moment will therefore be whether the market accepts the ‘super app’ update as a fundamental turning point, or whether the bears will remain in the majority despite the improvements.
