The Hong Kong Privacy Commissioner has issued an enforcement notice to Worldcoin, but the Worldcoin Foundation has not yet disclosed whether it will comply with the ruling.

The Hong Kong Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data has completed an investigation into the Worldcoin project and emphasized on Thursday that a compulsory enforcement notice has been issued to Worldcoin. However, Worldcoin has not disclosed whether it will comply with the regulatory decision, suspend its biometric data collection activities in Hong Kong, or address the concerns of participants. The Worldcoin Foundation, the supporting organization behind Worldcoin based in the Cayman Islands, expressed disappointment with the views of Hong Kong regulators, stating that its operations are legal and aimed at complying with laws and regulations related to data collection and use in Hong Kong and many other markets. The foundation stated that "unfortunately, Hong Kong overlooked these aspects when evaluating the human verification process."

  • US SEC again postpones decision on environmentally friendly Bitcoin ETF listing application

    The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again postponed its final decision on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Arca's application for a carbon offset Bitcoin ETF. According to a document dated September 4th, the decision has been extended to November 21st. The ETF aims to provide a Bitcoin investment exposure in an environmentally friendly way by offsetting carbon emissions, tracking an investment portfolio composed of 80% Bitcoin and 20% carbon credit futures. Tidal Investments submitted the fund registration application in December 2023, while NYSE Arca submitted the initial application in March. Concerns have been raised about the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining, with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reporting that cryptocurrency mining accounts for 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The delay in this decision also includes the postponement of approval for the Nasdaq One-Stop Cryptocurrency Investment Portfolio ETF.
