This marks the first time a major nation has explicitly linked biometric data collection to national security threats in the context of cryptocurrency rewards. The convergence of iris scanning, digital currency, and state-level security concerns creates an unprecedented scenario where biological identity becomes directly tied to financial access and national intelligence concerns.

📰 What Happened
On August 6, 2025, China's Ministry of State Security issued a warning against sharing biometric data with foreign companies in exchange for cryptocurrency, specifically targeting World's iris scanning program. The Ministry claims the collection of iris data threatens both personal and national security by enabling foreign intelligence infiltration. Hong Kong has already ordered World to cease operations due to privacy violations. The warning comes amid China's broader crackdown on cryptocurrency and biometric data collection.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The Chinese government's reaction reveals how biometric-linked digital currency systems could enable unprecedented economic control. World's iris-scanning system combined with WLD digital coins demonstrates the technical foundation for a future where biological identity verification becomes mandatory for financial transactions. The Ministry's emphasis on data transfer and workplace infiltration suggests how such systems could be used to monitor and control access to economic systems. This aligns with prophetic expectations of a centralized economic system requiring personal identification for participation.
