KANYE OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES MEMECOIN🫡
$1.01 | $1 Billion | +396% |
Kanye West officially launched $YZY on Solana as part of his YZY Money ecosystem, which includes the YZY token, Ye Pay payment processor, and YZY Card. The launch deployed an anti-sniping system with 25 contract addresses, of which only one became the official CA. $YZY peaking at a $3.1B market cap on over $300M in volume before pulling back to $1.4B. The coin was 87% bundled at launch, and they carefully started distributing to multiple wallets as the token rose. Trading opened on Meteora, with liquidity seeded in a unique way where only $YZY was added to the pool and no USDC. This setup allows the developer to add and remove liquidity at will, a mechanic similar to $LIBRA, so be careful.

Ye posted videos confirming the token launch on X, which led to an out-of-control surge in attention, marking the biggest memecoin volume surge since the Libra and Trump Coin. Alongside liquidity risks, multiple insider wallets were positioned in advance, with some insiders taking a $1.5 Million profit.

WORST RUG IN HISTORY IS FREE🗣
A US judge has unfrozen $57.6 million in USDC tied to the February $LIBRA scandal, restoring access to memecoin promoter Hayden Davis and ex-Meteora CEO Ben Chow despite class action lawsuits and international probes. Libra launched with Argentina President Javier Milei’s promotion and briefly hit a $4 billion market cap before collapsing into what on-chain data showed was a $107 million rug pull, including $57.6 million in USDC and 249,000 SOL drained by insider wallets. The Davis family, already known for running political and celebrity-themed tokens such as MELANIA, HOOD, FRIES, and M3M3, has been accused of stealing over $280 million from retail through similar schemes, with Argentina even requesting an Interpol red notice for Hayden Davis. Despite these investigations, the judge blurted that the frozen funds must be released, which IMO is a slap in the face to crypto. Check out this recap from hype.
The $LIBRA token is back…

AI FRUITS ARE ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA
$0.0002258 | $225 Thousand | +88.2% |
Niche Fruits lowkey just started appearing on social media. These are the AI generated ASMR clips of fruits eating themselves that have gone viral on TikTok and X—think grapes biting grapes, apples munching apples, and lemon‑orange cannibals in eerie slowmo. The trend caught fire, with millions of views and users flooding comments and PFPs with the fruits, especially the pear and blueberry, considered the most niche by fans. The tokenized version, $FRUIT beat the PVP, and is now at $225 Thousand market cap. Hoopify, who started the “41” trend, has also made a video on it.
They are being called Niche Fruits so i rotated into this one.
This feels extremely undervalued and should be the next big TT runner.
Millions of views and likes, everyone changing their PFP to the fruits in the comments.
Send it.

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER HEAVEN RUNNER
Well, the $YZY coin took a lot of mindshare from the other memecoins, causing the $LIGHT token to drop over 25% within an hour. That didn’t stop a Heaven runner to be born, this time it’s $LIMITLESS. Ngl, HeavenDEX has the best tickers, all of them tie in with their story. Limitless has been pushing the boundaries to a $1.3 Million market cap, launched just 5 hours ago.
This coin is limitless.
