Maelstrom argued Worldcoin could benefit as capital chases scarce public-market proxies for leading AI companies, referencing SpaceX’s confidential IPO filing, reports that Anthropic is preparing to go public, and noting OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s association with Worldcoin. The commentary presented those specific references—SpaceX’s filing, Anthropic’s reported IPO plans and Sam Altman’s link to Worldcoin—within Maelstrom’s case. Analysts and market observers said bitcoin’s crash was happening due to traders chasing momentum and rotating out of crypto and into high-flying IPOs and AI stocks. Both Maelstrom’s argument about Worldcoin and the analysts’ observations were included in the market coverage of the recent price moves.
