Report: Kenyan Subscribers Constituted 25% Worldcoin’s Global Total in July
At some point in July, there were as many as
350,000 Kenya-based residents who had subscribed and shown interest in receiving Worldcoin’s crypto token. According to a Kenyan legislator,
Worldcoin executives are now expected to appear before a parliamentary committee on
Sept. 4.
However, as noted in a report published by
The Star, the total number of World ID sign-ups from
across 34 different countries had topped 2.26 million by August.
While the Worldcoin team has
continued to tout some of the project’s milestones, officials in Kenya have seemingly adopted a hardline approach towards the entity and its local affiliates. In addition, A Kenyan court
has reportedly backed the government’s decision to suspend Worldcoin activities in the country.
Meanwhile, the investigating committee, which is chaired by the Narok West legislator
Gabriel Tongoyo, was told of how some failed to cash out their tokens.
Tongoyo nevertheless revealed that Worldcoin owners would soon appear before the Kenyan parliament to answer issues concerning the
crypto project.
