Worldcoin fell 13% to $0.28 on Friday as World, the identity-focused business led by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, announced several new integrations for its “proof of human” stack, which uses iris-scanning technology to verify identities.

 

World revealed on Friday that Zoom, a video conferencing tool, is integrating World’s Deep Face authentication to stop deepfakes, and DocuSign, an electronic signature platform, is integrating World’s ID verification technology into digital agreements.

Furthermore, the dating app Tinder is expanding its World ID verification to US users. “As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of real people, the infrastructure to prove a human stands behind each agent becomes crucial,” World said.

Deepfake technology has been used in increasingly complex impersonation scams alongside the rise of AI-generated content, helping fraudsters evade standard ID checks and trick victims into giving money or private information. Although biometric verification has been hailed as a solution, detractors caution that large-scale data collection increases privacy risks, especially if controlled by a single company, and could result in excessive surveillance if abused.

Worldcoin’s double-digit decline from $0.26 to $0.28 coincided with a 2.2 percent increase in the overall cryptocurrency market following Friday’s announcement that the US and Iran had eased tensions and opened the Strait of Hormuz. The World Network’s native cryptocurrency token, WLD, is used to facilitate transactions and participation within its ecosystem and to reward users for confirming their distinct identities.
