World unveiled a major upgrade to its World ID system, pitching it as “full-stack proof of human” infrastructure to verify real people across consumer apps, enterprises and AI agents without exposing personal data.



The rollout includes new features, partnerships with Tinder, Zoom and Docusign and tools for AI agents, while continuing to rely on Orb biometric verification, a system that has drawn criticism from some over its use of iris scanning.

world, the Sam Altman-backed digital identity project, has unveiled on Friday what it calls its most significant upgrade yet to World ID, positioning the system as “full-stack proof of human” infrastructure aimed at consumers, enterprises and AI agents.

The overhaul, announced at an event in San Francisco, comes as concerns mount across the tech industry over bots, deepfakes and AI agents impersonating humans online, a trend World is explicitly targeting with a broader push into authentication, payments and internet services. Altman's other major project is OpenAI, the firm behind ChatGPT and tools using the large language model AI platform.

Gold prices slipped slightly from a one-month peak during Asian trading on Wednesday, with investors closely watching developments between the United States and Iran as a fragile ceasefire deadline approaches next week. The pullback came after a strong rally in the previous session, driven by optimism over potential peace negotiations and encouraging U.S. inflation data.Spot gold declined 0.6% to $4,815.17 per ounce, while gold futures edged down 0.3% to $4,838.40 per ounce as of early morning Eastern Time. Fellow precious metals followed suit, with silver dipping 0.4% to $79.27 per ounce and platinum holding relatively steady at $2,107.21 per ounce.Tuesday's rally was sparked by softer-than-expected U.S. Producer Price Index figures for March, which showed that while headline inflation was pushed higher by rising energy costs, core inflation remained largely contained. The data mirrored a similar trend seen in recent Consumer Price Index readings and put pressure on the U.S. dollar, boosting gold's appeal as an alternative asset. Former Federal Reserve Chair and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen added to the bullish sentiment by suggesting there could be room for at least one interest rate cut later this year. Since gold generates no yield, lower interest rates typically enhance its attractiveness compared to government bonds.Geopolitical tension continued to shape market sentiment. The U.S. military confirmed it had fully enforced a naval blockade against Iran, a move widely interpreted as pressure on Tehran to reach a lasting peace agreement. President Donald Trump expressed confidence that additional ceasefire talks would take place within days and that a resolution to the now seven-week-old conflict was near. Both sides have reportedly remained open to dialogue, and the existing ceasefire appeared to be holding as of Wednesday morning.Traders remain cautious, aware that any breakdown in negotiations could quickly reignite safe-haven demand and push gold prices hi

Based on reports from NBC News and CBS News, police have ruled her death a suicide — but they are holding McCann’s passport while they await the results of a formal autopsy.The couple had been staying at the same hotel when a dispute arose between them.

Renowned Analyst Benjamin Cowen Issued a Warning Despite Bitcoin's Rise

In his latest video, Benjamin Cowen, a leading analyst in the cryptocurrency market, evaluated Bitcoin's current price movements using historical data and "seasonality."

Analyzing Bitcoin's return to the $77,000 level, Cowen warned investors about potential weakness in the coming weeks.

Cowen noted that Bitcoin's current trajectory bears striking similarities to the "US midterm election years" cycles of 2018 and 2022. According to the analyst, Bitcoin hit a low of $60,000 in February, followed by a higher low in late March and early April.

However, Cowen argued that this was not an absolute bullish signal, but rather that "time-based capitulation" within a bear market was more significant than price-based decline.

One of the most striking points in the analysis was the risks projected for late April and early May. Cowen predicts that Bitcoin could reach a local peak at the end of April, similar to 2018, and then decline again at the beginning of May after sweeping that high.

Strategy proposed moving dividend payments on its high-yielding STRC preferred stock from monthly to semi-monthly.

The move won't alter the yield nor Strategy's dividend obligation, but is expected to further dampen STRC's volatility.
If approved, the first semi-monthly payment would be July 15.

eading bitcoin treasury company Strategy (MSTR) has filed a proxy that, if approved, would allow for semi-monthly dividends on its STRC "Stretch" series of preferred stock.

The move would have no effect on STRC's annual dividend obligations or dividend rate (currently 11.5%), noted Executive Chairman Michael Saylor. Instead, he said, "[the] proposed changes are intended to stabilize price, dampen cyclicality, drive liquidity, and grow demand."

Former UK Prime Minister sees economy on 'very negative trajectory,' indicates support for bitcoin

Liz Truss, the U.K.'s shortest-serving prime minister, said the country's economy has been stagnating for decades and many of the problems result from a lack of sound money and the debasement of the currency, an erosion in the value of sterling caused by inflation and the printing of new banknotes.
