World Launches World Money Super App With Stripe, Stablecoins
World, formerly known as Worldcoin, is an identity-focused crypto project developed by Tools for Humanity, the company co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania. Its World ID system is designed to prove that an account belongs to a unique person, a proposition the group says is gaining importance as artificial intelligence makes fake accounts cheaper to create. Since launching World App in May 2023, World has steadily added wallet, payment and third-party app functions.
World said on Sept. 17, 2026, that World Money had begun rolling out in more than 150 countries. The self-custodial app supports balances in eight currencies, cross-border transfers, trading and yield products. U.S. users can fund accounts through Stripe and turn Apple Pay funds into stablecoins, typically within minutes, while Mini Apps include Kalshi, Credit and Morpho. Orb-based World ID verification unlocks limited-time reward boosts, though World disclosed no reward amount or rate.
