A brand-new memecoin called YZY suddenly blew up after people noticed something wild: Kanye West, with 33M followers, is only following this single account. That alone was enough to send traders into a frenzy, thinking it could be his official token.
Within minutes, YZY hit over $133M market cap in one candle, with whales piling in despite no official confirmation. Nobody knows if it’s really Kanye’s, but the hype is unreal if true, many believe it could easily run past $1B+. Right now, it’s all speculation, but the internet can’t stop talking.
Did @kanyewest just stealth launch his official token for his site an hour ago?
@YZY_TKN is the ONLY account Ye follows rn.
