In a series of recent developments, major shifts are happening in the cryptocurrency sector with a heavy focus on the digital identity (ID) systems. Decentralized ID has gone live on XRP Ledger (XRPL), proving its potential as a high-level application. Following suit, Buenos Aires has launched a self-sovereign blockchain ID initiative, bringing blockchain-based identity to millions of residents. Meanwhile, the Humanity Protocol has sparked curiosity with its Human ID creation system.
A significant development comes with Worldcoin undergoing a grand rebranding and introducing World ID, a competitor to Apple's Face ID. This, combined with an expansion of World ID into Solana via Wormhole, boosts the cryptocurrency's scope and results in a 10% surge. Amid some critiques labeling World ID as creepy, it's still considered a worthwhile innovation.
Altman's Worldcoin continues to release ID verification services in Austria with results reflecting positively on the market, highlighting the potential for global adoption of World ID. Worldcoin reaches its important milestone by announcing its own blockchain and revealing its decision to allow users to unverify World ID to enhance privacy measures. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy introduces a Bitcoin-based Decentralized ID platform termed MicroStrategy Orange.
Other notable highlights include Privado ID taking identity solutions beyond Polygon and Zetrix introducing digital ID verification to Chinese nationals abroad. On the regulatory side, AI researchers are now emphasizing ID requirements to solve the bot issue on the internet. Lastly, Austria, Malaysia, and Poland have seen Worldcoin introductions, suggesting further expansion and potential for World ID.
