This marks the first convergence of uncollateralized digital lending with biometric identity verification at scale. The combination of Worldcoin's iris-scanning technology with Divine's 30,000 USDC microloans creates an unprecedented fusion of biological identity, digital currency, and financial access - establishing infrastructure for a comprehensive digital-biological economic system.
Trump-Backed Crypto Loans Join Worldcoin's Global ID System
📰 What Happened
San Francisco-based Divine Research has issued over 30,000 uncollateralized microloans since December 2024, partnering with Sam Altman's Worldcoin biometric identity project. The loans, under $1,000 each and denominated in USDC stablecoin, target individuals excluded from traditional banking. This revival of crypto lending follows a three-year market downturn and is bolstered by Trump's pro-cryptocurrency stance and broader market recovery.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The merger of Trump's political influence, Worldcoin's biometric scanning, and Divine's 30,000 USDC loans accelerates multiple prophetic streams simultaneously. This system combines: 1) biological identity verification (Rev 13:16), 2) centralized digital currency control (Rev 13:17), and 3) global financial inclusion targeting the unbanked (Dan 12:4). The partnership between OpenAI's Altman and Divine Research demonstrates how AI, biometrics, and digital finance are rapidly converging into a single control mechanism that could restrict economic participation to those enrolled in the system.
