The collaboration would enable fintech and FX applications, fiat on-and-off ramps, and stablecoin-based payments across Visa\u2019s global merchant network.<\/p>\n<p>Tools for Humanity, led by Altman, has reportedly sent out requests to card issuers, indicating active steps toward implementation. The company is engaging with crypto card facilitators like Rain, which is backed by Coinbase and Circle and provides on-chain Visa cards for projects including Optimism and Avalanche.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Rain <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/raincards\/status\/1904146774454858047\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">announced<\/a> that it secured $24.5 million in a funding round led by Norwest Venture Partners, with participation from Galaxy Digital, Coinbase Ventures, and Lightspeed.<\/p>\n<p>World Network builds on Worldcoin\u2019s controversial iris-scanning tech, which creates a unique biometric ID for users. Pairing this with a wallet could enable secure, identity-linked financial services without traditional intermediaries, a feature few competitors offer.<\/p>\n<p><html><body><\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-banner mrec-in-article\"><\/div>\n<p><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n<p>The development follows World Network\u2019s launch of the World Chat application on March 7.
