Worldcoin (WLD), a digital asset powered by artificial intelligence (AI), is asserting that the majority of users in Spain, a country that previously prohibited it, are in favor of the altcoin’s comeback.

In a recent blog post, Worldcoin, a project focused on privacy and utilizing eye-scanning technology, established by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, revealed the results of a study involving 21,000 Spanish users. The study indicated that approximately 90% of participants support the reemergence of Worldcoin.

“A recent survey of over 21,000 individuals in Spain, marking the first of its kind to amplify the voices of Worldcoin users, highlights the increasing significance of digital verification of humanity within the country, and the acknowledgment of the value offered by World ID. Notably, 81% of respondents expressed a sense of security in using Worldcoin (with 15% undecided). The survey also unveiled strong backing from Spanish respondents for the reinstatement of Worldcoin operations in the country (87% in favor, with 9% undecided).”

Worldcoin operates by requiring users to scan their eyes using a unique orb peripheral. In March, Spanish regulators instructed Worldcoin to cease data collection following multiple customer complaints regarding the intrusive data-gathering process.

Despite this, Worldcoin announced its intention to take legal action against Spain, asserting compliance with all national laws. The blog post revealed that Worldcoin has agreed to suspend operations in Spain until the conclusion of a consultation process in 2024.

“Tools for Humanity (TFH) voluntarily agreed to extend the suspension of Worldcoin orb operations in Spain. This decision allows the competent lead authority, BayLDA in Bavaria, responsible for overseeing Worldcoin’s compliance with GDPR, to finalize its audit – a process in which TFH has been actively engaged for over a year.”

At the time of writing, WLD is trading at $4.93, reflecting a slight increase in the past 24 hours.
