Arthur Hayes Warns AI Giant IPO Dilution Trap May Hit Crypto Liquidity

Arthur Hayes argues via PANews that upcoming IPOs by SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI could trigger massive insider unlocks and equity dilution, potentially causing share price declines, wider corporate bond credit spreads, and contraction of U.S. commercial bank balance sheets, thereby transmitting liquidity pressure to crypto assets. He cites the 2016 Zcash case and estimates Anthropic may face 83% dilution, while noting OpenAI's fundraising valuation has been lowered.
