Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, sold his entire position in Worldcoin shortly after publicly endorsing the token and setting bullish price targets. This triggered scrutiny from on-chain investigator ZachXBT, who questioned whether Hayes’ public commentary influenced retail investors to enter before Hayes exited, potentially creating exit liquidity during volatile market conditions. Hayes defended his trades, stating they were executed at market prices to willing buyers and aligned with his trading strategy, not influenced by social media sentiment. The situation highlights concerns over the impact of influencer commentary on market dynamics and liquidity in crypto trading.
