Shares of the SPAC fell for a second day on Tuesday after skyrocketing as much as 1,225% last week as retail traders shifted their focus to other corners of the stock market. Digital World, which is set to merge with Trump s new social media platform, Trump Media Technology Group, declined 15% to $71.75 at 10: 15 a.m. in New York. It fell nearly 11% on Monday.

Digital World was still trending on the Reddit trade chatroom Stocktwits and was among the most mentioned tickers on WallStreetBets. It was also among the most active assets on Fidelity's platform at the start of Tuesday s session, but sell orders overshadowed the number of buys.

In contrast, investors favored Bakkt Holdings Inc. the digital asset market place, as well as tech heavyweights Tesla Inc. and Facebook Inc.

The two-day decline also came after short-seller Iceberg Research warned of risks for investors and said Trump will renegotiate at the expense of DWAC retail holders. Shares of the blank check company have tumbled nearly 60% from an Oct. 22 peak of $175.
