Important Announcement from BINANCE TH (Worldcoin)
Important Announcement to All Users
The Ministry of Digital Economy and Society, the Office of the Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC), and relevant agencies held a press conference on 24 November 2025 regarding an order to suspend and delete 1.2 million records related to iris-scanning activities conducted in exchange for cryptocurrency, which were found to be non-compliant with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). The key points were as follows:
The operator of the iris-scanning service in exchange for Worldcoin (WLD) cryptocurrency failed to provide complete information on the purpose of data-processing consent and such consent is considered invalid under the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019) (PDPA); and
The PDPC submitted the matter to the Expert Committee, which subsequently issued an administrative order to immediately halt the project’s operations and to delete all iris-scan data collected, as well as to consider appropriate penalties.
As the press conference raised legal concerns regarding the issuer of the digital asset known as Worldcoin (WLD), and given the significance of this information which may potentially affect users’ rights and interests, Gulf Binance Co., Ltd. (“the Company”), as a licensed digital asset business operator providing trading services for this token, advises all users to exercise caution and careful judgment when trading or holding WLD tokens. Users should thoroughly review all related information and potential risks and closely monitor announcements from regulatory authorities for their best interest. At present, users can still deposit, withdraw, and trade WLD tokens as usual on our platform.
The above approach reflects the collective view of all members of the Thai Digital Asset Operators Association, prioritizing user interests and full compliance with applicable laws.
