    Sam Altman is close to raising $100 million for Worldcoin,
according to the Financial Times.

    The start-up wants to give people cryptocurrency in exchange for
scans of their eyes.

    Altman is also CEO of OpenAI, the company behind the intelligent
language tool ChatGPT.

OpenAI boss Sam Altman is close to raising around $100 million in
funding for his Worldcoin crypto project, according to a report.

Worldcoin is in advanced talks to raise the cash from both new and
existing investors ahead of a potential launch within the next few
weeks, the Financial Times said Sunday, citing three people with
knowledge of the deal.

The startup wants to use eyeball-scanning technology to create a
digital identification system that would give people across the globe
access to a free crypto token called Worldcoin.

It's previously received backing from Andreessen Horowitz's crypto
fund, Coinbase's VC arm Coinbase Ventures, and FTX founder Sam
Bankman-Fried.

Worldcoin pulled in $100 million from investors last year through a
token sale that valued the company at around $3 billion, according to
a report by The Information from March 2022.

That fundraising effort came before a bruising period for crypto in
which flagship tokens like bitcoin and ether cratered in price and
high-profile companies including Bankman-Fried's FTX collapsed.

"It's a bear market, a crypto winter. It's remarkable for a project in
this space to get this amount of investment," one of the FT's sources
told the publication.

Altman rose to prominence when he became president of the startup
accelerator Y Combinator in 2014, which made him a well-known figure
in Silicon Valley.

In 2015 he cofounded OpenAI with Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk, and
he is currently the company's CEO.

During Altman's time as CEO, OpenAI has released popular generative AI
tools including ChatGPT and DALL-E to the public.

Worldcoin didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment,
sent outside normal working hours.
