Kanye West Reportedly Plans to Launch Swasticoin Token

Rapper Kanye West, also known as Ye, has shown interest in tweets by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and announced plans to launch a token called Swasticoin, while contemplating his own blockchain. According to The Block, in now-deleted posts, he “announced” the coin for “next week.”

“I am going to open the contract address for my Swasticoin for the Jewish people, my friends, and family first. Let’s see if the stereotypes are justified,” wrote West.

The rapper attempted to query his followers about the BNB, Ethereum, and Solana networks, and also reposted CZ’s message about the shortcomings of decentralized exchanges.

At the time of writing, all mentioned posts and Ye’s responses on X have been deleted. Among his subscriptions remain only Polychain founder Olaf Carlson-Wee and Barstool Sports media platform creator Dave Portnoy.

Earlier, CoinDesk reported on the artist’s plans to launch a YZY token as a payment method for his online store.
