World launches self-custodial ‘super app’ World Money
World Money is rolling out across more than 150 countries, combining stablecoin payments, digital asset rewards and trading in a self-custodial app.
World has launched World Money, a self-custodial financial "super app" that combines stablecoin payments, trading, earning, and virtual accounts. The app is rolling out in over 150 countries, with features varying by location. Users can send supported digital assets, including stablecoins, to a recipient's World username, deposit eligible assets to earn rewards, and buy and sell digital assets through exchanges.
The app also features "Mini Apps" such as Kalshi, Credit, and Morpho, and has a partnership with Stripe that allows users to fund their accounts and buy stablecoins with Apple Pay, starting with users in the US. According to Cointelegraph, World has been expanding the financial capabilities of World App since its launch in May 2023.
World Money's features include virtual bank accounts, which allow paychecks and bank deposits to be converted into USDC. The app's rollout follows the introduction of World App 3.0 in October 2024, which added third-party Mini Apps and a Vault feature for earning on assets.
