Arthur Hayes, chief investment officer at Maelstrom and co-founder of BitMEX, called for a rally in Sam Altman-backed Worldcoin (WLD) on Tuesday, writing on X, “Arise Chikun! WLD initiate bull market.” This follows his confirmed positions in Hyperliquid (HYPE), Near Protocol (NEAR), and Zcash (ZEC), which recently hit record highs. The WLD token’s price jumped more than 12% in the last 24 hours to around $0.42 and has gained more than 80% since hitting its record low of $0.23 in mid-May, outperforming Bitcoin, which fell more than 5% in the same period. Despite the rebound, WLD remains more than 96% below its all-time high of $11.74 seen over two years ago. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits trended in ‘extremely bullish’ territory, with some traders linking the rise to buzz around Altman’s OpenAI and its upcoming initial public offering (IPO). The rally did not result in a bullish run for Dan Ives-backed Eightco Holdings (ORBS), which holds around 277 million WLD tokens. WLD has fallen over 12% this year and is down more than 63% over the past 12 months.
