World Launches 'World Money' Financial App With Stripe Integration
World releases World Money app globally
World, the crypto project formerly known as Worldcoin, has launched a new self-custodial financial app called World Money. A self-custodial app is a type of digital wallet where the user has total control over their assets rather than a central company holding them. The app is being rolled out in more than 150 countries.
The platform functions as a \"super app,\" allowing users to handle stablecoin payments, invest, and earn yield. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to keep a steady value, usually tied to the U.S. dollar. The app supports balances in eight different currencies and allows users to send digital assets to others internationally.
Core features of the financial super app
- Users can send and receive digital assets across borders.
- The app supports eight different currencies for user balances.
- Integrated \"World ID\" verification allows users to prove they are human to unlock higher rewards.
- A new funding flow in the United States allows users to convert money from Apple Pay into stablecoins quickly.
New partnerships with Stripe and Morpho
The app connects with several major financial and crypto services. A partnership with Stripe enables the conversion of traditional money from Apple Pay into digital tokens. World Money also integrates with Kalshi and Morpho to provide additional financial services within the same interface.
World ID verification is a central part of the app. The project stated that using verified human identities helps build trust in transactions as artificial intelligence makes it easier for people to create fake accounts.
What is confirmed about the launch
The launch of World Money follows the project's rebranding from Worldcoin to World. The app is currently available in over 150 countries, though specific features and available assets may change depending on local laws in different regions. The project is led by Tools for Humanity, which was co-founded by Alex Blania and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Project background and history
This launch is part of a long-term plan to expand the app's capabilities. In March 2025, the project added chat features and the ability to send crypto directly through conversations. Later that year, the project transitioned from using bridged USDC to native USDC, a move intended to improve how the stablecoin works within the app's ecosystem.
