WLD is directly included in the platform’s Earn section, where eligible users can deposit Worldcoin and other supported assets into programs powered by Morpho. The Trade section allows users to buy and sell digital assets and selected real-world assets.
The app also connects with Stripe, Kalshi, Morpho and Bridge. In the U.S., Stripe enables users to fund stablecoin balances through Apple Pay, with supported deposits generally arriving within minutes. Bridge provides virtual account infrastructure for eligible users.
World Money also carries over verification and credentials for existing World App and World ID users. The launch therefore gives WLD a larger role inside World’s financial product as the company expands the app beyond identity verification into payments, transfers and digital-asset services.
