Kanye West Teases “Swasticoin” Launch, Sparking Outrage Over Its Name and Intent. Crypto Community Reacts as Ye’s Unpredictable Behavior Raises Concerns

Feb 24, 2025 at 09:00 am

Kanye West, now known as Ye, has hinted at launching a cryptocurrency token called “Swasticoin” next week. Several posts about cryptocurrency on Saturday introduced the highly controversial statement.

Kanye West Teases “Swasticoin” Launch, Sparking Outrage Over Its Name and Intent. Crypto Community Reacts as Ye’s Unpredictable Behavior Raises Concerns

Musician and fashion designer Kanye West, who now goes by the name Ye, has sparked outrage by teasing the launch of a cryptocurrency token called “Swasticoin” next week.

Several posts about cryptocurrency on Saturday culminated in the announcement. Ye began by slamming crypto projects that exploited fan bases with his trademark bluntness. However, he then made an abrupt pivot, revealing his plan to launch his own cryptocurrency token, which the posts indicate will be called Swasticoin.

The announcement comes after a string of offensive statements that Ye has made about Jewish people, sparking widespread outrage.

Crypto Community Reacts as Ye Announces Token Launch Next Week Ye went on to say that he will give Jewish people and his close friends the first chance to access the Swasticoin contract address (CA). “Let's see if stereotypes hold true,” he added in the statement. The provocative statement drew immediate criticism, with many people finding it offensive.

Following his token announcement, Ye continued to engage on social media, retweeting several posts by Binance's former CEO CZ on Sunday. The social media interaction took a turn when Ye unfollowed CZ and began following Polychain managing director Olaf Carlson-Wee.

Ye's sudden shift in social media activity has drawn attention, given his erratic behavior in recent times. He had earlier stated that any token bearing his name is a scam.

Ye announced that his official token will be dropping next week. He did not disclose the purpose of the token or the team involved in its creation.

The authenticity of Ye's statement on the upcoming token remains unclear, given his past penchant for making bombastic and controversial public remarks. Both the crypto community and the public at large have reacted strongly to his social media statements.

As Ye's statements continue to generate buzz, people are discussing the implications of his cryptocurrency interest and expressing strong opinions on the token's name.

Due to Ye's unpredictable behavior and past statements, the future of this project remains uncertain. The crypto community will be keeping a close eye on the situation for any further updates in the coming days.
