Worldcoin Drops 10% After Arthur Hayes Exits Position
CryptoCompass editorial visual for markets coverage.

Worldcoin (WLD) fell nearly 10% in the past 24 hours after Arthur Hayes revealed that his investment firm, Maelstrom, had sold its entire stake in the token. The announcement surprised traders, coming just a day after Hayes indicated the fund would continue holding WLD.

The sudden exit sparked selling pressure across the market, with investors reassessing short-term prospects for the AI-focused cryptocurrency.

Meanwhile, pre-listing SpaceX stock quotes on Hyperliquid have plunged more than 50% over the past few days. The sharp decline reflects weakening sentiment in speculative private-market trading and highlights growing caution among investors.

The twin selloffs in WLD and SpaceX pre-listing markets suggest risk appetite is cooling after recent rallies, with traders increasingly locking in profits amid heightened market volatility.
