- World Network is in talks with Visa to integrate Visa card functionality into its wallets, enabling stablecoin payments to merchants.
- World Network, co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, offers World ID, a digital passport to verify real humans and distinguish them from AI bots.
Sam Altman’s cryptocurrency initiative, World Network, is reportedly in discussions with Visa to introduce a stablecoin payments wallet, according to a report from CoinDesk.
The move could enable Visa card functionality within World Network wallets, allowing users to make stablecoin payments to merchants in Visa’s extensive global network.
The discussions signal growing efforts to merge cryptocurrency with mainstream financial systems. If finalized, the partnership would mark another step toward making stablecoin transactions more accessible for everyday use.
As stablecoins gain traction for their ability to provide fast and cost-effective transactions, major financial players are exploring ways to bridge the gap between crypto and conventional banking services.
Visa has previously shown interest in blockchain-based payments, collaborating with various crypto firms to support digital asset transactions. The partnership with World Network would further solidify Visa’s involvement in the growing crypto payments industry.
World Network, co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, is known for its flagship offering, World ID—a digital passport designed to verify real humans and differentiate them from AI-driven bots online. The company operates under Tools for Humanity, the organization behind its development.
Despite growing speculation, Visa and Tools for Humanity have not yet responded regarding the potential partnership.
