⌐◪-◪ → Ye is launching a memecoin.

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is set to launch $YZY this Sunday according to three sources close to the project —following in Trump’s footsteps.

This comes after he previously criticized celebrity memecoins, saying they “prey on fans.” Now, he’s doing exactly that, except with 70% of the supply in his own wallet. The rest? 10% for liquidity and 20% for investors—putting an insane amount of trust (and power) in his hands.

From a tokenomics standpoint, this is the ultimate rug setup—but whether he dumps or not is anyone’s guess. Given his history of erratic moves and controversies, this launch has all the ingredients for absolute chaos.

The real question is how will $YZY perform compared to $TRUMP?

⌐◪-◪ → Coinbase can’t stop winning.

Coinbase just reached an agreement with SEC staff to dismiss their lawsuit—a massive win for the entire crypto industry.

Once officially approved next week, it will mean zero fines, zero concessions, and zero changes to their business. After years of legal battles, millions in legal fees, and endless attempts to crush crypto in America, Coinbase is walking away completely untouched.

The SEC’s case was weak from the start. They let Coinbase go public in 2021, reviewed their listing standards, then tried to sue them for listing the same assets years later. Their legal overreach failed, and now they’re forced to back down.

This proves what we already knew: Crypto isn’t going anywhere, and the SEC is losing its grip.

But before you celebrate too hard—this doesn’t mean regulators are suddenly friendly. The SEC just launched a Cyber and Emerging Technologies Unit to crack down on crypto fraud, and insider trading cases are heating up. The purge of bad actors isn’t over yet.

⌐◪-◪ → Bybit just set a new standard for transparency.

Bybit just dropped real-time liquidation data via API updates every 500 milliseconds, giving traders and analysts instant visibility into market liquidations.

This level of transparency is unprecedented—and similar to when Bitwise published the holding address of its Bitcoin ETF. Moves like this don’t just impact crypto—they reshape the entire financial industry by creating a new standard for accountability.

In a space still haunted by black swan events like FTX, initiatives like this build trust and push the industry forward. More exchanges should follow suit.

Speaking of transparency—Fort Knox audit when?
