World Rolls Out Self-Custody Super App Across 150 Countries

World has launched its self-custody financial 'super app', World Money, across over 150 countries. The new app combines stablecoin payments and digital-asset features in one place.

Users can send supported digital assets, including stablecoins, to recipients using a World username rather than a blockchain address. This simplifies the process of transferring funds and makes it more accessible to users without prior experience with cryptocurrencies.

The app also allows users to deposit eligible assets to earn rewards and buy/sell digital assets through exchange integrations. Additionally, World has partnered with Stripe to enable top-ups and stablecoin purchases using Apple Pay for US-based users.
