World Mobile has officially crossed a major milestone—more than two million daily active users—as it pushes forward in its mission to bring affordable wireless connectivity to communities across the globe. The achievement comes just as the company prepares for another landmark moment: the September 4 listing of its native token, World Mobile Token (WMTX), on Kraken, marking the asset’s first listing on a U.S. exchange.
Global Growth Fuels User Surge
World Mobile’s rapid expansion has been powered by strong adoption across the U.S., Asia, and Africa. Much of this growth is driven by the deployment of more than 60,000 AirNode devices, which directly connect communities to World Mobile’s blockchain-based network.
The World Mobile Chain (WMC)—an EVM-compatible Layer 3 built on top of Base—serves as the native home for $WMTX, meaning every transaction on the network contributes directly to the ecosystem’s value.
“Surpassing two million daily active users on-chain is a testament to the power of our decentralized approach,” said Micky Watkins, CEO of World Mobile Group. “It shows that our vision for an open, fair, and inclusive telecom network is already becoming a reality.”
Kraken Listing Expands Access and Liquidity
The upcoming Kraken listing of $WMTX marks a pivotal moment for World Mobile, opening the door to increased liquidity, broader access, and a stronger foundation for future ecosystem growth.
Beyond serving as the network’s gas token, $WMTX can be staked and also participates in a buyback program, where subscriber revenue is used to repurchase tokens from the open market. This structure reinforces $WMTX as a multi-purpose asset at the center of World Mobile’s DePIN-based telecom model.
“The Kraken listing reflects the strength of our mainnet launch and sets the stage for deeper partnerships and integrations,” Watkins noted. “It validates our efforts and will bring in more users and liquidity for the next phase of growth.”
Strengthening Strategic Partnerships
World Mobile continues to expand its footprint through partnerships with major organizations, including PwC, DITO, and data platform Token Terminal, whose metrics feed into Bloomberg and Binance. A dedicated dashboard is in development to track $WMTX activity and on-chain performance—bringing more transparency and visibility to institutional and retail users.
With the World Economic Forum forecasting the DePIN sector to reach $3.5 trillion within three years, World Mobile’s model of community-operated nodes and blockchain infrastructure places it in a strong position to lead the shift toward decentralized telecom systems.
The company is also onboarding developers through its mainnet builder program, laying the groundwork for a fully permissionless ecosystem.
