Argentina’s Record Sign Ups
The Kenyan parliamentary committee investigating Worldcoin’s activities in Kenya has revealed that 350,000 Kenyan residents showed interest in the project. This accounted for a quarter of Worldcoin’s global total in July. The total number of World ID sign-ups across 34 countries has reached 2.26 million by August. Worldcoin claims that demand for the World ID continues to grow and points to the recent record sign-ups seen in Argentina.
Kenyan officials have taken a hardline approach towards Worldcoin and its local affiliates, leading to the suspension of its activities in the country. The investigating committee, chaired by Gabriel Tongoyo, has been informed that some individuals failed to cash out their tokens. Worldcoin owners are expected to appear before the Kenyan parliament to address these issues, along with Solicitor General Shadrack Mose and Data Commissioner Immaculate Kassait.
In summary:
1. 350,000 Kenyan residents showed interest in Worldcoin.
2. The total number of World ID sign-ups reached 2.26 million globally.
3. Argentina has seen a record number of sign-ups.
4. Kenyan officials have suspended Worldcoin’s activities in the country.
5. Worldcoin owners, along with government officials, will appear before the Kenyan parliament.
Hot Take: The high number of sign-ups in Argentina suggests a growing interest in Worldcoin, despite the suspension of its activities in Kenya. It remains to be seen how the project will address the concerns raised by Kenyan officials and whether it will be able to regain its momentum in the country.
