⇗ Tectonic Shifts in Crypto ID Verification Ecosystem with Pioneer Projects like 'World'

Dramatic developments related to ID verification systems in the crypto market have been noted recently. Following an FBI raid that dismantled a $6.4M fake ID empire, the operation resurfaced within 24 hours. There has been a surge in methods on how to purchase Bitcoin anonymously without ID or Verification, seemingly peaking in 2025.

The US Treasury has started considering digital ID verification in DeFi to curb illicit finance activities. Meanwhile, Rwanda has introduced its own digital ID as US Foods register unprecedented sales. Two suspects have been apprehended in what appears to be a $640,000 identity theft involving gold coins.

Flagship projects like Humanity Protocol, Worldcoin’s potential rival, debuted a $1.1B mainnet geared towards seamless transition from Web2 to Web3 ID. Beyond national blockchain for digital identity, Vietnam has also embarked on comprehensive record-keeping. Reports of unbacked crypto loans relying on World ID have also emerged. The Concordium app enables anonymous online age checks, in response to criticism stemming from UK rules.

Remarkably, Worldcoin, affiliated to Sam Altman, has initiated its eye-scanning crypto project in the USA. There have also been proposals for pluralistic IDs to ensure complete privacy in digital identity systems. Furthermore, despite being perceived as potentially intrusive, World's biometric ID still shows promise as an innovative system supporting self-sovereignty.
