Yes it can! Wasm3 is the fastest WebAssembly interpreter. Since they recently adopted Cosmopolitan it became the most universal one too. Check out the 150kb APE binary they've got on the release page. https://github.com/wasm3/wasm3/releases/tag/v0.4.8

Cosmopolitan binaries aren't interpreted. They're just flat x86 binaries. It needs a 12kb runtime that's written in C. All the runtime does is (a) polyfills magic numbers for the SYSCALL instruction and (b) boot-load from BIOS to long mode on metal w/ linux kernel style negative memory page tables. So basically, it's just glue that takes care of the ugly low-level system details so you can bolt on whatever high level language interpreter you want. For example, the Wasm3 engine recently adopted it.
