Ye’s YZY token plunges while insiders net millions
Ye’s token launch is already surrounded by controversy and insider selling.
- YZY rocketed to $3 billion, then crashed after insider trading concerns to $300 million
- Insiders acquired large amounts of the token and sold it as soon as it launched
- Earlier, Kanye posted that he was offered $2 million to scam his users with a fake Ye crypto
Less than a day after its launch, Ye’s memecoin YZY (YZY) is already generating significant controversy. On Thursday, August 21, on the same day of its launch, Kanye West’s memecoin went from $3 billion in market cap to just $300 million. Critics point to insider selling as the likely reason for the price decline below $1.

Still, while the whales profited, ordinary traders lost more on average. In total, there were 9,413 wallets that made more than $10 in profit, while 15,999 saw more than $10 in losses. This means that smaller holders were more likely to lose money rather than gain.

On Friday, Kanye revealed that he was approached with an offer to promote a scam token for $2 million. Specifically, he would post a link to a fake Ye crypto, which would have to stay up for 8 hours, after which he could say that his account was hacked. So far, Kanye has not claimed that he was hacked and has since deleted the post.
