Kanye West Teases YZY Card, Crypto Payments Amid Controversial Token Launch

Kanye West Teases YZY Card, Crypto Payments Amid Controversial Token Launch

The post Kanye West Teases YZY Card, Crypto Payments Amid Controversial Token Launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kanye West’s Yeezy Money token launched on Solana with promises of a payments revolution, only to face insider concentration concerns. U.S. hip-hop provocateur Kanye West, known as Ye, has launched a Solana-based token called Yeezy Money (YZY), teasing a sprawling crypto payments ecosystem that puts his brand — and his fans’ wallets — squarely in the spotlight. In a Thursday announcement on X, West wrote: “Yeezy Money is here… A new economy, built on chain,” sharing the token’s contract address and a link to a website for buying, selling, and sending YZY. An alleged design of the YZY Card The YZY ecosystem, according to West’s website, includes “Ye Pay,” a payment processor allowing merchants to accept credit and crypto payments, and the “YZY Card,” a non-custodial debit card for spending YZY tokens and stablecoins like USDC and USDT at merchants worldwide. Checkout Options As of now, YZY appears as a checkout option on West’s official merchandise site, though it is not yet functional. Only 15% of Traders Profit The token’s debut was turbulent. YZY briefly surged to a $3 billion market capitalization within 40 minutes of its launch before retreating to around $1.05 billion, according to Dexscreener. Analytics firm Nansen shared data with The Defiant showing that over 60,000 wallets traded YZY within the first day. Of these, only 9,413 wallets realized profits of more than $10. There are also clear signs of fading memecoin hype as YZY logged just $724 million in first-day trading, well below the $29.5 billion generated during the debut of U.S. President Donald Trump’s memecoin. YZY Chart Concerns about insider concentration quickly followed. Coinbase director Conor Grogan noted in an X post that a large portion of the token supply was initially held by insiders, with one multi-signature wallet controlling as much as 87% at…

Gearbox Protocol Debuts on Etherlink with Re7 Labs’ USDC Vault

Gearbox Protocol Debuts on Etherlink with Re7 Labs’ USDC Vault

The post Gearbox Protocol Debuts on Etherlink with Re7 Labs’ USDC Vault appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Curators may now create custom lending markets by using this distinctive, institutional-grade lending infrastructure . Over the course of seven months, Gearbox users have created $2.8 billion in trading volume across Ethereum DEXs. Gearbox Protocol, which has a USDC vault curated by Re7 Labs, has debuted on Etherlink. The deployment uses treasury-backed tokens like mTBILL, mBASIS, and mRe7YIELD to provide institutional-grade strategies to the Tezos Layer 2. As DeFi’s credit layer, Gearbox links customers looking for composable leverage across return-generating options with passive liquidity providers. Curators may now create custom lending markets by using this distinctive, institutional-grade lending infrastructure thanks to the introduction of permissionless. “We’ve been looking for the right L2 to expand Gearbox Permissionless, and Etherlink’s performance metrics and ecosystem convinced us,” said Mikhail Lazarev, Founder and CTO at Gearbox Protocol. “When you can get soft confirmations in under 500ms with fees that are negligible, combined with well-known DeFi protocols, it opens up entirely new possibilities for capital efficiency in leveraged strategies.” As a vault curator, Re7 Labs contributes substantial experience, overseeing more than 700 million TVL over more than 100 pools on 14 blockchains. Re7, one of the leading DeFi curators in the world, uses unique risk management frameworks to generate profits. In order to increase underlying returns while upholding cautious risk criteria, the vault technique loops return-bearing tokens against USDC. Evgeny Gokhberg, Managing Partner at Re7 Capital, said: “Etherlink’s infrastructure and Gearbox’s credit layer give us the ideal foundation to scale our strategies. We’re bringing institutional-grade yield to a new audience with the same discipline and risk management we apply across $1B+ in DeFi capital.” Incentives from Apple Farm Season 2 and GEAR token payouts from the Gearbox DAO will also help the vault. Over the course of seven months, Gearbox users have created $2.8 billion in…
