Worldcoin derivatives data analysis shows nearly 50% increase in OI in the last 24 hours. Similar to HYPE, short liquidations exceed long and the total volume of liquidations stands above $7 million.
The long/short ratio is under 1 and shows derivatives traders may not be as bullish on WLD price gain and sidelined buyers should exercise caution when opening a trade in the AI token.
Catalysts driving gains in WLD and HYPE
For WLD, one of the largest catalysts is the announcement of Worldcoin’s expansion and the direct token sale to a16z and Bain Capital Crypto. News of a direct purchase of $135 million in WLD has fueled a bullish sentiment among traders.
Through its official account, the Worldcoin team said that the investment was a direct purchase of non-discounted tokens, by two of the “earliest backers” of the project.
Hyperliquid has made several announcements about bridges built to transfer tokens to the HYPE ecosystem, new listings and partnerships. However, a recent tweet from Maelstrom co-founder Arthur Hayes has supported the social media mentions of HYPE.
Early on Friday, Messari Crypto reported that a Hyperliquid short-seller got liquidated for $23 million as the token posted nearly 90% gains.
Tether and its partner Plasma Foundation power zero-fee stablecoin transfers and the initiative was extended to the Hyperliquid exchange, adding to the list of catalysts.
The on-chain perpetual exchange’s new listings, partnerships and the arrival of zero-fee stablecoin transfers in its ecosystem are currently the largest catalysts driving gains in HYPE token.
