Onchain investigator ZachXBT accused BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes of turning his own audience into “exit liquidity,” saying Hayes most recently promoted Worldcoin token (WLD) and then sold it shortly afterward, capping a roughly 15-day stretch in which he exited four publicly hyped positions.

Arthur Hayes says Maelstrom has sold its entire Zcash position after new disclosures around the Orchard Pool vulnerability sharpened the perceived risk around ZEC’s monetary integrity. The move effectively ends his recent “Holy Trinity” trade across ZEC, NEAR and HYPE, while leaving Worldcoin as the AI-linked bet he says the fund still holds. “The Holy Trinity is dead,” Hayes wrote on X. “Sadly due to the Orchard Pool exploit, I had to dump our entire ZEC bag.” Why Is Hayes Dumping Zcash Now?

Arthur Hayes has amplified a bullish Worldcoin thesis from Maelstrom, arguing that WLD could become a high-beta proxy for the coming wave of artificial intelligence IPOs. The call centers on a short-heavy setup, a potential balance-sheet bid from Eightco, and a scheduled reduction in WLD unlocks later this month. Hayes, the BitMEX co-founder and Maelstrom chief investment officer, put the argument in his typically blunt style on X. “Read it and weep WLD bears,” he wrote. “This shitcoin is going to moon … cause AI duh. Don’t mid-curve this shit.” The post quoted a Maelstrom research note titled “WLD Hated Rally,” authored by Lukas Ruppert, which frames Worldcoin as an overlooked liquid proxy for exposure to OpenAI-adjacent artificial intelligence upside. Maelstrom’s stated target is $5 by August, though the firm cautioned readers to “DYOR” and said the note was “not financial advice.” Maelstrom Sees Worldcoin (WLD) As An AI Proxy Maelstrom’s core thesis begins with public-market behavio
Maelstrom predicts the WLD token will reach $5 by August, a gain of around 900% from current levels.
