Worldcoin drops just as Altman’s company expands its services

Although the value of Sam Altman’s cryptocurrency World (formerly Worldcoin) continues to decline and has already lost 65% in the past year, the company continues to expand its services. Altman remains very bullish on Worldcoin and has now closed deals with Zoom, DocuSign, Tinder, Okta, and Shopify.

Worldcoin, the digital currency of Tools for Humanity, the company founded by Sam Altman (of ChatGPT), was finally able to achieve success last year after a whole series of setbacks. After a years-long ban on operating in the United States (under the Joe Biden administration), the go-ahead was finally given in the summer of 2025 to scan everyone’s eyeball there in exchange for crypto as well. Sounds strange, but it is true.

Thanks to the success of ChatGPT, Altman has become a celebrity in the United States, making it increasingly easy for him to promote Worldcoin and the eyeball scanning orbs. For instance, just last week he announced that he had signed partnership agreements with several well-known American companies to develop ‘proof of human’ technology.

However, the value of Worldcoin itself is not benefiting from this. At the time of writing, the coin is trading at 26 cents, after setting an All Time High of 12 dollars in 2024.
