Cryptocurrency firm Worldcoin will soon be resuming registration of users in Kenya after the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODDP) directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to drop a probe into allegations that the firm illegally collected and transferred users, personal data.

Kenya suspended Worldcoin activities in August last year and opened an inquiry aimed at establishing the safety of the data that was being harvested at the time.
