Arthur Hayes has disclosed the unwinding of his Worldcoin position just days after revealing a major rebalancing of Maelstrom\u2019s portfolio. On Friday, June 5th, the BitMEX co-founder proclaimed that \u201cthe Holy Trinity is dead,\u201d dumping his Zcash<\/a>, Hyperliquid, and NEAR holdings while touting WLD\u2019s prospects of outperforming.<\/p>\n

Hayes revealed the recently found Orchard Pool vulnerability as the rationale behind taking profit on Zcash. Meanwhile, the Maelstrom CIO had earlier sold off his entire HYPE and NEAR holdings, citing higher energy prices (due to the war in Iran), imminent US IPOs, and a rising anti-AI political stance.<\/p>\n

Was It All Hype?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As Hayes dumped his Zcash positions, he announced his continued exposure to Worldcoin, citing his expectation that SpaceX\u2019s IPO would catalyze WLD\u2019s move higher. The crypto founder went on to say, \u201cnever bet against Elon,\u201d as the price of Worldcoin remained fairly steady during Friday\u2019s market storm.<\/p>\n

However, in the early hours of Saturday, Hayes posted<\/a> a chart of the SpaceX security and said the price is \u201cgoing in the wrong direction\u201d before disclosing that he is out of his Worldcoin position. The Maelstrom CIO barely explained the rationale for his decision to dump the WLD tokens this weekend, despite initially implying he would hold the altcoin through the SpaceX IPO next week.<\/p>\n

This market movement sparked outrage within the crypto community on the social media platform X, with prominent blockchain sleuth ZachXBT among the commentators. \u201cHow much exit liquidity was created from your followers over the past couple of days?\u201d the crypto space investigator questioned<\/a> Hayes on X.<\/p>\n

Exit liquidity refers to a concept where early buyers or investors are able to successfully sell off their holdings when new buyers enter the market. Although not entirely limited to scams, this concept is often linked to \u201cpump and dump\u201d or \u201cmarket manipulation\u201d schemes, in which holders with significant followings and influence hype an asset before exiting at a high price.<\/p>\n

\"Hayes\"<\/p>\n

The BitMEX founder rebuffed the idea that he used his followers as exit liquidity, saying that he sold to a willing buyer at a price. \u201cPrices could be higher, and then I would be called a dumb ass. I just happened to call it right this time as it regards to my trading goals,\u201d Hayes wrote on X.<\/p>\n

WLD Price At A Glance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Shortly after Hayes disclosed that he was offloading his WLD holdings, the altcoin\u2019s value dropped by almost 30% before recovering. As of this writing, the price of Worldcoin stands at around $0.4228, with an over 20% decline still on the books over the past day.<\/p>\n
