Rapper Kanye West, also known as Ye, has shown interest in tweets from Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), expressed intentions to launch a Swasticoin token, and considered creating his own blockchain.
That one retweet got him to 33.2m followers? wow. 🤔 https://t.co/IXz4eweQcc

According to The Block, in now-deleted posts, the artist “announced” that Swasticoin would launch “next week.”
“I’m going to open the contract address for my Swasticoin first to the Jewish people, my friends, and my family. Let’s see if the stereotypes hold up,” West wrote.
The rapper also questioned his followers about BNB, Ethereum, and Solana networks and reposted CZ’s comments on the shortcomings of decentralized exchanges.

At the time of writing, all mentioned posts and Ye’s responses on X have been deleted. His only remaining follows include Polychain founder Olaf Carlson-Wee and Barstool Sports creator Dave Portnoy.
Earlier, CoinDesk reported that the artist planned to launch the YZY token as a payment method for his online store.
