Kanye West Speculation Sparks 85% Rally in YZY Coin

YZY Coin pumped 85% in 24 hours as it spread like a rumor that Kanye (Ye) would be launching his own crypto. Ye is allegedly going to use YZY for Yeezy products, abandoning websites like Shopify. Sources say Ye holds 70% of supply, using Trump’s TRUMP token model.


Kanye West, now Ye, is back in the headlines—this time for crypto. Rumors are flying that he’s launching his own token, and the market is eating it up. YZY Coin, a little-known memecoin, skyrocketed 85% in 24 hours after speculation that Ye wants to ditch traditional platforms like Shopify and use crypto for his Yeezy brand.

According to reports, Ye’s token will tie into his clothing and business empire, giving fans a way to buy merch without relying on mainstream platforms that cut ties with him over past controversies. Insiders say he holds 70% of the YZY supply, while 20% goes to investors and 10% for liquidity—similar to Trump’s TRUMP coin setup.

Although Ye hasn’t made the token official, his recent interview indicated getting into crypto despite having spoken against memecoins previously. It would put him in the company of other celebrities jumping on the crypto bandwagon despite most such ventures being accused of exploiting fan loyalty.

Will YZY be the next big thing or just another celebrity cash grab? Only time will tell, but for now, the hype is here.

Kanye West Shuts Down $2M Crypto Scam Offer: ‘Not Scamming My Fam

Kanye West, aka Ye, just dropped some major tea on X—turning down a $2M offer to shill a shady crypto scheme. Like, who does that? King move, honestly. He spilled the deets in a Feb. 7 post, exposing how scammers wanted him to post fake crypto promo to his 32.6M followers, then pull the classic “my account got hacked” card. Sketchy, right? But Ye said, “Nah, not scamming my fam,” and dipped.

The deal? $750K upfront to keep the post live for 8 hours, then another $1.25M after 16 hours. Big yikes. Ye clapped back with, “I was proposed 2 million dollars to scam my community. Those left of it. I said no and stopped working with their person who proposed it.” Periodt.
