Kanye West’s recent foray into the cryptocurrency world has left many investors in a state of shock, with his Yeezy Money (YZY) altcoin experiencing a steep and sudden decline in value. While initial hype was fueled by celebrity endorsement and promises of financial independence, the coin’s debut resulted in dramatic losses for most participants as only a handful reaped significant profits. 73% of investors saw substantial losses, according to blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps, totaling over $74 million. Analysis shows a skewed profit distribution with just a small number of wallets reaping substantial gains exceeding millions of dollars, leaving many to wonder about the extent of manipulation in this venture.
