Kanye West's memecoin YZY (YZY) collapsed from a $3 billion market cap to $300 million within hours of its launch on August 21. The crash followed allegations of insider trading, with early investors dumping tokens immediately after launch.

Data reveals a stark imbalance: 9,413 wallets profited over $10, while 15,999 suffered losses exceeding $10. Retail traders bore the brunt as whales cashed out. The controversy deepened when Ye claimed he'd been offered $2 million to promote a fraudulent crypto project prior to YZY's launch.
