Trader Loses $500K in Hours as Kanye’s Yeezy Coin Crashes

Within hours of trading, the token delivered a brutal lesson in volatility, wiping out half a million dollars from one unfortunate investor.

Blockchain data shows that a trader behind wallet 6ZFnRH deployed 1.55 million USDC to scoop up nearly one million YZY tokens at $1.56 apiece. But the hype quickly unraveled. As liquidity dried up, prices collapsed below the $1 mark, forcing the whale to capitulate at $1.06 and walk away with a devastating $500,000 loss in less than two hours.

Speculators Double Down Despite Crash

Instead of cooling interest, the collapse has only fueled more risky bets. High-profile trader Machi Big Brother revealed a 3x leveraged long position worth 570,000 YZY, signaling confidence that the memecoin’s wild swings can be exploited for rapid gains.

Adding to the frenzy, Kanye West himself stepped into the action, depositing 30 million YZY ($34 million) into liquidity pools on decentralized exchange Meteora. His strategy places a trading band between $3.17 and $4.49. If the token climbs past the upper limit, West could potentially cash out $134 million at peak prices.

A Perfect Storm of Hype and Risk

The mix of whale liquidations, leveraged bets, and celebrity-backed liquidity injections has created a storm of speculation around YZY. For now, however, the token is struggling to maintain momentum, slipping below $1 and raising fresh doubts about whether Yeezy Money can sustain its hype-fueled run.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
