This setup makes it easier for users to browse markets and place bets using digital currency.

Supported currencies for placing predictions include USDC USDC $1.00 and Worldcoin WLD $0.8514 , World's native digital token.

However, Worldcoin tokens are not available to everyone. The company has stated that access is limited by age, location, and other rules.

For instance, users in certain areas, such as New York state, are unable to receive WLD through the app. World also noted that it does not control where WLD might appear on third-party platforms or exchanges.

This launch follows World’s report that more than 100 million Mini Apps had been downloaded by October 2025. Mini Apps was first introduced in October 2024 and are designed to work inside the World App without needing to open other apps or websites.
