On-chain detective ZachXBT posted questioning BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes for frequently changing his views and selling tokens in a short period, asking how much exit liquidity he had received from followers in the past few days.ZachXBT pointed out that before WLD, Arthur Hayes had expressed bullish views on tokens such as NEAR, HYPE, and ZEC, and in his latest operation, after publicly expressing a strong bullish stance on Worldcoin (WLD) multiple times and giving a target far above the current price, he chose to liquidate his position in a short time.In response, Arthur Hayes stated that he was simply selling assets at market prices to buyers willing to take over according to his trading targets, and if the price continued to rise, outsiders would think his sale was a wrong decision, "this time it just happened to be a correct judgment."Subsequently, ZachXBT posted again, sharing Arthur Hayes's previous bullish comments on WLD and questioning his rapid exit from the position after loudly promoting it, sparking discussions in the community about the influence of opinion leaders on the market and the issue of "exit liquidity."Previously, Arthur Hayes had stated that he had liquidated his WLD position, claiming that the price trend was "not right," and announced his exit from that position.

According to CoinDesk, despite market speculation that some retail investors may sell Bitcoin to participate in SpaceX's record-breaking $75 billion IPO, stablecoin liquidity and on-chain data show that there are currently no signs of large-scale capital withdrawal from the crypto market.This SpaceX IPO is valued at approximately $1.8 trillion, allocating up to 30% of shares to retail investors through platforms such as Robinhood, Fidelity, and Charles Schwab, significantly higher than the traditional IPO's allocation of about 10% to individual investors. After the roadshow began, subscription demand has exceeded the issuance scale.Data shows that the outflow of USDT and USDC remains within the normal range since February this year, with no abnormal redemptions or supply contractions. In contrast, on June 6, Bitcoin and Ethereum recorded net outflows of approximately 66,470 BTC and 2.49 million ETH from exchanges, indicating that more investors are transferring assets to private wallets, showing signs of buying the dip rather than concentrated cashing out.However, on-chain data cannot reflect the trading behavior of users on platforms like Robinhood and Coinbase, so whether crypto investors are selling assets to subscribe to SpaceX stock still requires waiting for relevant brokers to release subsequent data.Currently, the most significant capital outflows are coming from spot ETFs. Data shows that as of June 3, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced net outflows for 13 consecutive trading days, with total redemptions of approximately $4.4 billion; spot Ethereum ETFs have seen capital outflows for 17 consecutive trading days before returning to slight net inflows.According to the plan, SpaceX will complete pricing on June 11 and will be listed on Nasdaq under the stock code SPCX on June 12.

Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb published a statement regarding the recently patched Zcash vulnerability, indicating that there are many misunderstandings in the market about this event. He pointed out that even if the vulnerability had been exploited before it was fixed, attackers could only profit by faking ZEC in the privacy pool, and these tokens must first be converted from a privacy address to a transparent address to enter mainstream trading platforms.Since the supply of ZEC in transparent addresses can be publicly verified, any abnormal transfers exceeding the maximum supply will be detected and blocked, so the vast majority of investors holding transparent ZEC and exchange users will not be affected.Haseeb stated that the Zcash team plans to introduce a new "Turnstile" mechanism and a brand new privacy pool in future upgrades to verify that there is no inflation issue in the current privacy pool. He also mentioned that formally verified cryptographic systems can reduce implementation errors from a design perspective. Haseeb finally disclosed that Dragonfly still holds ZEC, and he is also a ZODL investor.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes posted on the X platform that he has sold all his holdings of WLD and exited related positions due to the "wrong direction" of WLD's trend.Previously, Arthur Hayes had completely liquidated his positions in HYPE, NEAR, and ZEC.

Dragonfly partner Haseeb tweeted to clarify the recently fixed vulnerability in Zcash. He stated that if the vulnerability had been exploited before the fix (although the probability is extremely low), it would manifest as the privacy pool minting false ZEC. Attackers would need to sell quickly, but since the market primarily trades transparent ZEC, they cannot directly sell the unmasked privacy ZEC on mainstream exchanges. Therefore, the losses would mainly be borne by users holding privacy ZEC, with almost no impact on holders of transparent ZEC and price discovery.Haseeb emphasized that the Zcash team will introduce a new turnstile mechanism and a brand new privacy pool in the next upgrade to verify that the privacy pool has not been inflated. He also has high hopes for formal verification technology, believing it is an important path for enhancing software security across the industry in the future, especially crucial for privacy protocols.

According to Bloomberg, informed sources say that underwriters for SpaceX's approximately $75 billion initial public offering (IPO) have been told not to accept subscription orders from investors in mainland China and Hong Kong, due to U.S. restrictions on the export of critical technologies.

Jiang Zhuoer, the founder of the Liebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), stated that he has repurchased all previously sold Ethereum positions at an average price of $1,645, after clearing positions in the range of $2,200 to $2,400. Although the repurchase operation has been completed, he believes that the overall market is still in a downtrend, but Bitcoin has received support twice around $61,000 and has not effectively broken down, indicating a short-term technical rebound demand.Based on this judgment, Jiang Zhuoer expects Bitcoin to experience a rebound in the next 1 to 3 days and plans to sell the recently repurchased Ethereum positions again during the rebound process.

Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes), co-founder of BitMEX and CIO of Maelstrom Fund, stated that he has liquidated all his $ZEC holdings due to a vulnerability attack on ZEC's Orchard Pool.Hayes pointed out that although the possibility of malicious minting is extremely low, it cannot be formally proven impossible at the cryptographic level; the privacy narrative demands "perfection" rather than "high probability safety." He also mentioned that if subsequent assumptions are falsified, he does not rule out the possibility of buying back at a lower price. Currently, his team still holds $WLD positions and maintains a bullish stance.

According to Cointelegraph, Coinbase and Better Home & Finance announced a plan to launch a cryptocurrency-backed mortgage program in the summer of 2026, allowing eligible borrowers to use Bitcoin (BTC) or USDC as collateral to fund down payments for Fannie Mae-backed mortgages. This move comes after the U.S. FHFA instructed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to consider cryptocurrency assets in mortgage risk assessments starting June 2025, without the need to convert them into fiat currency.Other lending institutions, such as Newrez, have already followed suit with similar initiatives. However, some U.S. senators have expressed concerns that the price volatility of cryptocurrency assets could threaten the stability of the housing market. Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed the "21st Century Mortgage Act," aiming to solidify the aforementioned policy in legislative form.
