A week-old prediction market faked leaving Solana, outlets reported it as real, and the next day it admitted the whole thing was a joke
World, a prediction market launched on July 1, 2026 inside the Phantom wallet on Solana, announced on July 8 that it was moving to Robinhood Chain, Robinhood's new network for tokenized stocks, which had also launched that same day. The matching dates made the announcement fully believable: several outlets reported it as a real migration, and even Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko shared the news.
The next day, World admitted the whole thing was a joke: it had never left Solana. The original thread had already racked up 2.3 million views by then. CoinGecko's co-founder called it sharp marketing, while another part of the community criticized it for sowing doubt about the reliability of a platform that, after all, handles bets with real money.
