Sam Altman’s cryptocurrency project, World Network, is reportedly in discussions with Visa to develop a stablecoin payments wallet. According to CoinDesk, a deal would integrate Visa card functionality into World Network wallets, allowing stablecoin-based payments at merchants within Visa’s network.
This collaboration highlights the growing efforts to incorporate cryptocurrency into the mainstream payments system, with both companies aiming to expand the use of digital assets in everyday transactions. Visa and Tools for Humanity, the company behind World Network, have yet to respond to requests for comment.
World Network, co-founded by OpenAI’s Sam Altman, primarily offers World ID, a digital passport designed to verify a user’s identity as a real human, distinguishing them from AI chatbots.
