WorldCoin从A16Z和Bain Capital Crypto筹集了1.35亿美元

这导致了WLD的总循环供应的相应跳跃。该公司将使用这些资金继续其在美国的生物识别数据收集操作。

OpenAI founder Sam Altman’s iris-scanning identity verification project Worldcoin announced a $135 million funding round led by a16z and Bain Capital Crypto.

OpenAI创始人Sam Altman的虹膜扫描身份验证项目WorldCoin宣布了由A16Z和Bain Capital Crypto领导的1.35亿美元的资金回合。

The company will use these funds to continue its biometric data collection operations in the US, which recently opened in six US cities and plans to expand to many more locations.

该公司将使用这些资金继续其在美国的生物识别数据收集操作，该公司最近在美国六个城市开业，并计划扩展到更多地点。

Worldcoin Fundraises with WLD Tokens

与WLD令牌一起筹款的WorldCoin

Worldcoin announced this WLD sale over social media.

WorldCoin通过社交媒体宣布了这次WLD销售。

In an accompanying press release, the company claimed that the $135 million in investment will primarily go to biometric identity verification in the US, which Worldcoin expanded in May.

在随附的新闻稿中，该公司声称，1.35亿美元的投资将主要用于美国的生物识别验证，该验证在5月份WorldCoin进行了扩展。

“World Foundation raised $135 million from a16z and Bain Capital Crypto. Funding was through a recent direct purchase of liquid, market-priced WLD. The funding comes from two of World’s earliest backers and long-term holders — a16z and Bain Capital Crypto. This wasn’t a venture round. It was a direct purchase of non-discounted liquid tokens,” the firm stated.

“世界基金会从A16Z和Bain Capital Crypto筹集了1.35亿美元。资金是通过最近直接购买了市场价格的WLD。资金来自世界上两个最早的支持者和长期持有者 - A16Z和Bain Capital Cragepto。这不是风险投资。这不是一个直接购买的液体液体供应液体。”

Because this Worldcoin investment deal substantially increased the number of WLD tokens, it’s actually somewhat visible in publicly-available price data.

因为这项WorldCoin投资协议大大增加了WLD代币的数量，因此实际上在公开可用的价格数据中有些可见。

Less than an hour before the public announcement, WLD’s market cap quickly spiked by $135 million. If this is unrelated to the investment deal, then it’s an extremely remarkable coincidence.

公开宣布不到一个小时，WLD的市值迅速飙升了1.35亿美元。如果这与投资协议无关，那么这是一个极为显着的巧合。

In any event, this major WLD investment could be a much-needed win for Worldcoin. Last December, German regulators ruled against the company’s data collection, and both Kenya and Indonesia reached similar conclusions this month.

无论如何，这项重大的WLD投资可能是WorldCoin急需的胜利。去年12月，德国监管机构裁定了该公司的数据收集，肯尼亚和印度尼西亚本月都得出了类似的结论。

WLD recently spiked on rumors of OpenAI social media integration, but nothing ever materialized.

最近，WLD涉及Openai社交媒体整合的谣言，但从未实现。

In addition to a16z and Bain Capital Crypto, both of which have been substantial crypto investors in the last few months, Worldcoin also mentioned a few other funders.

除了A16Z和Bain Capital Crypto（在过去的几个月中，这两者都是强大的加密投资者，WorldCoin还提到了其他一些资助者。

Selini Capital, Mirana Ventures, and Arctic Digital participated in a traditional funding round for Worldcoin, one which apparently did not involve WLD tokens.

Selini Capital，Mirana Ventures和Arctic Digital参加了WorldCoin的传统资金，这显然不涉及WLD代币。

Thanks to this major investment, Worldcoin can continue ramping up its US operations while boosting WLD circulation and prominence.

由于这一重大投资，WorldCoin可以在提高WLD发行和突出性的同时继续加强其美国业务。

The company didn’t make any other specific commitments regarding the $135 million, but discussed the growth of its user network, physical infrastructure, and the possibilities of AI tech more broadly.

该公司对1.35亿美元没有做出任何其他具体承诺，而是讨论了其用户网络的增长，物理基础架构以及AI技术的可能性。
