Bitcoin market news emerged on June 6, 2026, when chain analyst ZachXBT questioned Arthur Hayes over his rapid exit from a Worldcoin (WLD) position. Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, was accused of providing "exit liquidity" after promoting tokens such as NEAR, HYPE, and ZEC prior to selling. He defended his actions, stating he sold at his target price. The incident sparked market discussions on influence and liquidity practices.

BlockBeats news, on June 6, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted questioning Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, for frequently changing his views and selling tokens in a short period, asking how much exit liquidity he had received from his followers in the past few days.


ZachXBT noted that prior to WLD, Arthur Hayes had expressed bullish views on tokens such as NEAR, HYPE, and ZEC, but in his most recent move, he quickly exited his position after publicly expressing strong bullish sentiment toward Worldcoin (WLD) and setting price targets far above the current level.


In response, Arthur Hayes said he simply sold his assets at market price to willing buyers according to his trading targets; if the price continues to rise, outsiders will again view his sale as a mistake—this time, he just happened to be right.


Subsequently, ZachXBT posted again, highlighting Arthur Hayes’s previous bullish statements about WLD, and questioned his rapid exit from the position after publicly promoting it, sparking community discussion about the influence of opinion leaders on the market and the issue of “liquidity withdrawal.”


Previously, Arthur Hayes stated that he had fully closed his WLD position, citing that the price movement was "in the wrong direction," and announced his exit from the position.
