Kanye West: Hype about Ye Token YZY – here you can trade it

Controversial rapper Ye (formerly Kanye West) is launching his token YZY on Solana. The rapper confirms the token launch on the platform X. “The official YZY token is now live,” it states. On the website, the team writes: “YZY Money is a concept for a new financial system based on cryptography.”
His announcement triggered a buying frenzy that pushed the token's market capitalization above $3 billion within an hour of its launch. The token's current market capitalization on Jupiter is $1.1 billion. The token is currently trading at $1.15, according to Coinmarketcap.
With a trading volume of $622 million, it is one of the trending coins on the Solana DEX Jupiter. The token is now also tradable in Germany.
According to the website, YZY is more than just a memecoin. Plans also include a payment service provider, Ye Pay, and the YZY Card, which can be used to spend YZY and USDC.
Prominent figures from the crypto space are also jumping on the YZY hype. Arthur Hayes, for example, is asking Kanye West not to “rug pull” him.
