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.

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images The Federal Reserve is projecting only one rate cut in 2026, fewer than expected, according to its median projection. The central bank’s so-called dot plot, which shows 19 individual members’ expectations anonymously, indicated a median estimate of 3.4% for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026. That compares to a median estimate of 3.6% for the end of this year following two expected cuts on top of Wednesday’s reduction. A single quarter-point reduction next year is significantly more conservative than current market pricing. Traders are currently pricing in at two to three more rate cuts next year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, updated shortly after the decision. The gauge uses prices on 30-day fed funds futures contracts to determine market-implied odds for rate moves. Here are the Fed’s latest targets from 19 FOMC members, both voters and nonvoters: Zoom In IconArrows pointing outwards The forecasts, however, showed a large difference of opinion with two voting members seeing as many as four cuts. Three officials penciled in three rate reductions next year. “Next year’s dot plot is a mosaic of different perspectives and is an accurate reflection of a confusing economic outlook, muddied by labor supply shifts, data measurement concerns, and government policy upheaval and uncertainty,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year. There’s a lot of uncertainty…
