The Ye Effect Gets Real as YZY Coin Holders See 85% Gains Over Viral Rumors

Published 02/21/2025, 10:27 AM EST

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has never been one for the mundane. If the world turns left, he sprints right, usually in a pair of exclusive Yeezys that sell out before you can even blink. He is known for turning ambitious ideas into reality, ensuring that his creative dreams do not remain just dreams. Case in point: Yeezy, his fashion and media empire that transformed sneakers into status symbols.

Now, he is taking things to an entirely new level. In a move that blends innovation with the unexpected, Ye has found a way to make shopping at Yeezy even more thrilling, this time, with the help of his very own memecoin.

There were some rumors about Ye having a new venture in mind, this time, in cryptocurrency. The YZY token, an unexpected but oddly fitting addition to his empire, soared 85 percent, as per Crypto Times, the moment rumors spread that he would endorse a crypto token of his own instead of traditional payment platforms. His previous controversial statements that led to his separation from Shopify, fueled further rumors about his move toward an independent financial infrastructure.

Shortly after its release, the YZY token was allegedly positioned as the official currency of the Yeezy brand, with customers encouraged to trade their dollars for digital faith in Ye’s vision. Insiders claimed Ye controls 70 percent of the supply, investors hold 20 percent, and 10 percent is set aside for liquidity. Whether this was a strategic escape from corporate backlash or just another headline in his ever-expanding saga remains up for debate.

Imagine a world where Yeezy is more than a brand, it is a digital empire. If the rumors hold true, then the future where Ye shakes up the digital word may not be too far. 

From Yeezy to Web3: How Ye could shake up digital ownership

Ye has never been one to follow traditional rules, and his next move could redefine the digital landscape. After revolutionizing music and fashion, he now has the potential to reshape the online economy through blockchain, cryptocurrency, and decentralized platforms. His past disputes over music rights suggest he could launch a Web3 music service where artists own their work without interference from labels. Similarly, a Yeezy-backed cryptocurrency could allow direct-to-consumer sales, bypassing traditional payment platforms that once severed ties with him.

Ye's rejection of Adidas proves he is determined to maintain full creative and financial control. This mindset could extend into the digital world, where he might create his own blockchain-powered marketplace for exclusive Yeezy drops. If Ye fully embraces Web3, he could disrupt not only fashion but also digital ownership, social media, and online commerce itself.
