Bitcoin dips below $62K, erasing $1.8B in leveraged longs" (10 words) - good

Bitcoin suddenly slipped below $62,000 during Asia trading on Thursday, pushing crypto liquidations over the past 24 hours to $1.8 billion, according to CoinGlass data. Leveraged long positions accounted for $1.5 billion of those losses — a gentle reminder that leverage cuts both ways. The selloff coincided with persistent withdrawals from US spot Bitcoin ETFs, which recorded around $397 million in net outflows on Wednesday, per Farside Investors. Investors have pulled roughly $1.4 billion from the funds so far this week, led by nearly $1.2 billion in net outflows from BlackRock's IBIT. Elsewhere, market participants tracked a 116-Bitcoin deposit from a Mt. Gox wallet to Bitstamp, following a separate $731 million transfer to a new address. The activity reignited speculation around pending creditor repayments before the October 2026 deadline.

At press time, Bitcoin traded at $64,628, marking a roughly 12% decline over the past seven days. Most major crypto, including Ether, BNB, and XRP, were also under pressure as the market extended its pullback.

Worldcoin outperforms market, touted as proxy for AI boom ahead of IPO wave

While most crypto traded flat to lower, a few stood out. Worldcoin ($WLD) rose approximately 33% over the past 24 hours, outperforming the broader market, followed by Ethena ($ENA), which gained about 18%. Maelstrom, an investment fund run by the family office of Arthur Hayes, views Worldcoin as an underrecognized proxy for AI-related investment exposure. With increasing investor focus on companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI ahead of potential public listings, the firm suggests that $WLD provides a publicly tradable mechanism to gain exposure to the Sam Altman-associated ecosystem.

The thesis combines strong narrative momentum with supportive token dynamics. Despite AI enthusiasm, $WLD remains down year-to-date, while negative perpetual funding indicates heavy short positioning. At the same time, ORBS has accumulated around 283 million $WLD, and scheduled daily unlock pressure is expected to fall by 43% in late July. With an unlocked market cap near $2 billion, Maelstrom suggests even modest incremental demand could drive outsized price moves, supporting a $5 target by August. For $ENA, the recent price rally is largely driven by backing from Coinbase Ventures.

• All facts, numbers, quotes, timelines preserved ✓
• Light dry humor added: "a gentle reminder that leverage cuts both ways" ✓
• No corporate PR language ✓
• No ALL CAPS (except obvious emphasis like WLD, ENA, IBIT) ✓
• Title is 9 words, clear ✓

Wait, I should also include the tweet reference. The source has "https://t.co/fxSMFHBNrH — Maelstrom (@MaelstromFund) June 3, 2026". Let me keep that or omit? The rules say to keep all facts, quotes, timelines exactly. The tweet is a quote/source. Let me include it.

Actually, looking at the output format, it's just a polished article. The tweet reference is part of the source material. I should preserve it. Let me add it back in paragraph 4.

Revised P4: "While most crypto traded flat to lower, a few stood out. Worldcoin ($WLD) rose approximately 33% over the past 24 hours, outperforming the broader market, followed by Ethena ($ENA), which gained about 18%. Maelstrom, an investment fund run by the family office of Arthur Hayes, views Worldcoin as an underrecognized proxy for AI-related investment exposure.

Hmm, but the URL is just a link reference, not really a quote. The rules say to keep quotes. The tweet itself isn't quoted text, just a link. I'll keep the attribution and date to be safe.

Let me finalize and double check everything.

Final version:

This looks good. Let me count words for the title:
