Crypto project Worldcoin will resume activities in Kenya.
Kenyan authorities have closed their investigation into the Worldcoin cryptocurrency project, co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Worldcoin intends to resume operations in the country. According to a statement from Kenya's Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), prosecutors have agreed to demands from Worldcoin's lawyers to complete the investigation, which began in May 2024. The DCI quickly addressed a number of allegations regarding the alleged illegal collection of data through iris scans and facial images of people using special devices, as well as the storage of sensitive personal data. The prosecutor's office found no wrongdoing, so it ordered the Worldcoin case to be closed without further action by the police.
