Coinbase, the largest crypto exchange in the US, has announced the possibility of listing Sam Altman’s World Network (WLD).

In a post on the social media platform X, Coinbase says it’s added the project’s native token WLD to its listing roadmap.

Being added to Coinbase’s roadmap doesn’t guarantee a future listing, but it announces the potential for it to be listed in order to promote transparency and prevent possible insider trading.

World Network, recently rebranded from “Worldcoin,” aims to create digital identities for everyone on earth by confirming their humanity with eye-scanning “orbs.” After scanning their eyes with the orbs, users are granted “World IDs” which help counter online bots and fake identities.

The project’s ecosystem also includes WLD tokens and an app.

Last year, regulators in Spain ordered the project to stop collecting data after receiving numerous complaints from customers that its data-gathering process was invasive.

World Network said it conducted a study of 21,000 Spanish users and found that nearly 90% of them support it coming back to Spain.

“A new customer survey of more than 21,000 people in Spain, the first of its kind to give a voice to Worldcoin users, shows just how important digital proof of humanness has become in the country and the extent to which people recognize the value provided by World ID…

Importantly, 81% of respondents stated that they feel safe using Worldcoin (15% were unsure). The survey results also showed that respondents in Spain strongly support the return of Worldcoin operations in the country (87% support, with 9% unsure).”
