A new report reveals the stark financial reality of Kanye West’s YZY meme coin launch: 74% of investors incurred losses, with only a small percentage reaping significant profits. The project, launched in August 2025, saw immediate backlash due to suspected insider activity and market volatility. 11 wallets captured nearly 30% of the total profits, while the vast majority – 51,862 traders – lost an average of $8.2 million. Hayden Davis, co-founder of the controversial Libra project, is one such example. He profited considerably by buying YZY shortly after launch and selling at a hefty markup. Bubblemaps, the research firm behind the report, highlighted that only 18,333 investors (26%) gained substantial profits, totaling $66.64 million. This stark imbalance has fueled speculation about fairness and transparency in celebrity-backed crypto projects.
