Worldcoin Expands U.S. Footprint with Crypto Visa Card and Tinder Partnership

Sam Altman-backed Worldcoin is making strategic moves to cement its position in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. The project has launched operations in six major U.S. cities—including Los Angeles and Miami—offering WLD token rewards for identity verification through its proprietary orb devices.

A new crypto-linked Visa card will bridge digital assets with everyday commerce, enabling seamless spending via the World App. This physical product underscores Worldcoin’s ambition to transition cryptocurrency from speculative asset to practical payment solution.

The most unconventional development comes through a pilot partnership with dating giant Tinder in Japan. The collaboration aims to leverage Worldcoin’s biometric verification to authenticate users on dating platforms—a novel application of blockchain technology to solve real-world trust issues.
