Worldcoin has set a new record in Argentina and has also released an update to the verification process. Worldcoin has achieved a new record with almost 16,000 Orb verifications in Argentina. The surge in Worldcoin comes following the launch of World ID 2.0, the second generation of Worldcoin's proof of humanity. Worldcoin's new announcement states that World ID 2.0 has the facility of integration with platforms like Mercado Libre in Argentina. Also, its other integrations include anti-fraud retail integrations with Reddit and Shopify.
Along with Argentina, Worldcoin says that it is being widely adopted in India. Let us tell you that recently, Worldcoin has stopped its Orb verification service in India, Brazil, and France. In fact, Worldcoin has expanded significantly since its launch in India, opening pop-up kiosks in many parts of the country to onboard new users to its platform and even offering free tokens upon signing up. Was. It was also hiring more contractors to expand Orb verification in India. Even after so much expansion, Worldcoin stopped its Orb verifications service in India but, World App Worldcoin's app is still continuing to add users in India.
The Worldcoin Foundation says Worldcoin's app, World App is gaining widespread adoption in India, with thousands of downloads every week. The question arises: that when Worldcoin is being adopted on a large scale by Indian users, then why has it said goodbye to India? Worldcoin has cited crypto regulatory problems arising in India as the reason for saying goodbye to India.
But on the other hand, a different reason emerged for Worldcoin saying goodbye to India. Worldcoin has been comparing its Orb verification service with the Indian government's Aadhaar biometric ID system, while the Indian government considers this system to be quite secure. Also, Aadhaar is linked to the personal data of the users, like PAN cards, bank account details, and all the necessary documents, with the help of which all the personal details of a person can be easily extracted.
But even after Worldcoin has bid farewell to India, its popularity in India gives rise to many questions. According to CoinGabbar, the way Worldcoin app is being downloaded in India, it is possible that Worldcoin will once again make a comeback in India, or it may also happen that the Indian government may decide to ban it completely and take some strict action.
Currently, the Indian government is working towards crypto regulation, for which the FIU has taken action against 9 offshore crypto exchanges. In such a situation, keeping in mind the security of Indian users, the Indian government can also take necessary steps to ban the Worldcoin app completely.
