MX Global, one of the six registered market operators for digital asset exchanges in Malaysia, announced that it has received approval from the Securities Commission Malaysia (Malaysia SC) to trade the Worldcoin token on its platform.

Worldcoin was classified as a permissible digital asset in the country on May 8, 2024, according to Malaysia's Guidelines on Recognised Markets. Now, MX Global can provide various digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), Uniswap (UNI), Avalanche (AVAX), Polygon (MATIC), Polkadot (DOT), Cosmos (ATOM), and Worldcoin (WLD).

Worldcoin is a cryptocurrency token developed as part of Sam Altman's eyeball-scanning digital ID venture, aimed at accelerating the adoption of Proof of Personhood and decentralized finance.

Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, made headlines last year when news broke of his "abrupt firing" and transition to the software giant Microsoft. This move sparked significant interest and concern within the industry.
