WorldCoin Unveils Revolutionary Global Payment Protocol for Digital Assets and Currencies

WorldCoin, a decentralized system supported by the WorldCoin Foundation and Tools for Humanity, has introduced a new payment mechanism to enhance accessibility and security of financial transactions globally. The protocol aims to change the way individuals transfer, receive, and hold digital assets, stablecoins, and traditional currencies, with the user community responsible for oversight and decision-making. WorldCoin's protocol includes World ID, WorldCoin Token, and World App, and can be purchased on exchanges like BitGet, XT.COM, and Poloniex using various payment methods. Users can sign up for World ID through the World App and receive free WDC tokens after verifying their uniqueness at an Orb. Safe storage of digital currency can be achieved through a crypto exchange or broker, or through a crypto wallet with varying degrees of protection. P2P trading platforms and third-party payment services can also be used for direct transactions and money transfers.

    South Korean financial regulatory agency announced on Wednesday that it plans to release comprehensive guidelines for institutional cryptocurrency investments in the third quarter. The Financial Services Commission made this announcement during a meeting with local cryptocurrency industry experts. While investment guidelines for listed companies and professional investors are expected to be introduced in the third quarter, the Financial Services Commission stated that its goal is to release investment guidelines for non-profit organizations and cryptocurrency exchanges in April. The Financial Services Commission first announced in January that it would gradually lift the ban on institutional investors investing in cryptocurrencies. Last month, the regulatory agency revealed that it intends to first allow charities and universities to sell their cryptocurrency assets in the second quarter. The upcoming detailed guidelines further solidify South Korea's shift in stance towards cryptocurrencies, no longer strictly opposing the entry of crypto assets into traditional financial markets.
