May 5, 2025, 9:14 a.m. 14 sources neutral
Indonesia's Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs has suspended Sam Altman’s World project, formerly known as Worldcoin, due to unregistered operations and misuse of registration certificates. The decision follows regulatory and privacy concerns and affects Indonesian users and partners, notably PT Terang Bulan Abadi and PT Sandina Abadi Nusantara. The WLD token is directly impacted, as authorities underscore compliance failures. Broader effects on the global cryptocurrency market remain limited, with major coins like BTC and ETH unaffected. The suspension highlights the ongoing regulatory challenges faced by projects like World and could lead to further local scrutiny or operational changes.
