 <p>Worldcoin, which was co-founded by OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman, announced on Saturday that World App, the first wallet built for the project, surpassed one million daily users this past week.</p>

 <p>Worldcoin’s Orb is a helmet-shaped peripheral that scans people’s eyes to verify their identity.</p>
 <p>To use it, traders must first download the Worldcoin app, obtain a compatible crypto wallet and then visit an Orb to receive their identification, or World ID. The project has generated privacy concerns around the globe.</p>
 <p>Alameda Research, the former trading arm of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, holds 25 million WLD worth $171 million, according to the blockchain analytics platform Spot On Chain. Alameda received the WLD from the Worldcoin Mint back in August.</p>
