- A day earlier Hayes had said Maelstrom was keeping Worldcoin.
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of crypto exchange BitMEX and chief investment officer of family office Maelstrom, said on Friday the firm had sold its entire stake in Worldcoin, the digital token tied to Sam Altman's eye-scanning identity project, a day after he said it would keep holding the token.
"Dumped $WLD. I'm out. See y'all at the clerb," he wrote, alongside a chart of SpaceX stock sliding. WLD dropped 10% in the past 24 hours, with a chunk of the move coming after Hayes' tweet.
