By If you searched yzy gmgn you want the YZY chart on GMGN and the facts behind Kanye West's token. YZY (branded YZY Money) is a Solana token, so on GMGN you use the Solana chain, pay the flat 1% GMGN fee plus a priority fee, and check the security panel with more care than usual, because the launch itself deployed 25 candidate contracts.
The token's first hour produced one of the sharpest memecoin spikes of 2025 and one of the fastest reversals. Knowing how supply is distributed explains most of that chart.
What is YZY Money?
YZY launched on Solana on 21 August 2025, announced by Ye (formerly Kanye West) in a self-recorded video on his X account, about six months after he had publicly said celebrity coins "prey on fans." Reports from CoinDesk and The Block describe the market cap reaching roughly $3 billion within about 30 minutes before falling by more than half the same day.
Distribution, per the project's published terms: 70% to Yeezy Investments LLC, locked for 24 months via Jupiter Lock; 20% public; 10% liquidity. The launch used an anti-sniping scheme in which 25 contract addresses were deployed and one was randomly selected as the official token, yet on-chain analysts reported wallets with apparent advance access booking millions in profit within hours. Ye tied the token to a payments vision, including Ye Pay, a crypto payment processor, and a YZY Card for spending. As of September 2026 we could not verify how far those products have shipped.
Which chain and where it trades
YZY is a Solana SPL token. The 24 unselected launch contracts and the usual flood of imposters mean GMGN's search returns many "YZY" results. Set the chain to Solana (gmgn.ai/?chain=sol), then confirm the contract on GMGN's security panel against the one posted on Ye's official X account and the project's site.
No contract addresses appear on this page. The GMGN phishing check guide walks through comparing addresses character by character, which matters here more than for almost any other token.
How to trade YZY on GMGN
- Log in at gmgn.ai with Telegram, Google, email or Phantom; see the GMGN login guide for the tradeoffs.
- Deposit SOL and keep 0.05 SOL back for gas and rent.
- Switch to Solana, search YZY, and pick the token created on 21 August 2025 with the deepest liquidity. Cross-check the contract against official channels.
- Set the priority fee (0.002–0.005 SOL for a manual trade, per GMGN's recommendation) and slippage (Auto), then buy. The how to use GMGN guide explains the panel.
- Set an exit with limit orders or TP/SL from the GMGN limit orders and stop-loss guide, and judge results by wallet balance rather than the PnL card.
What to check before buying
- Mint authority disabled and freeze authority disabled: both should read true.
- Top-10 holder %: expect a high figure because of the 70% locked allocation; the useful question is whether the other large holders are moving.
- Dev sold and holder tags: GMGN labels wallets as Smart Degen, Sniper, Fresh wallet or Phishing. Insider-labelled wallets selling is the signal analysts flagged at launch.
- LP burned % and rug probability: check the state of the main pool.
- Snipers and bundlers %: high on any lookalike; on the original, a reminder of how the first hour went.

Fees on GMGN for YZY
| Cost item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| GMGN platform fee | 1% per buy, 1% per sell | Flat, per docs.gmgn.ai |
| Priority fee | 0.0001–2 SOL, user-set | 0.002–0.005 SOL recommended for manual trades |
| Tip | 0.0001–2 SOL, optional | Private-node routing |
| Anti-MEV | Min 0.002 SOL priority + 0.0001 SOL tip | Off / reduced / secure |
The GMGN fees guide covers the math; on a 1 SOL trade with a 0.006 SOL priority fee, on-chain cost is about 0.6% on top of the 1%.
Risk notes
YZY's launch-day chart, roughly 6,800% up and then below its opening level, is the risk statement. Insider allocation is 70% and locked, but the 24-month lock ends in August 2027, and unlock events tend to move price. Celebrity involvement adds headline risk and attracts scams using Ye's name. This is an independent guide; GMGN AI App Guide is not affiliated with GMGN or Yeezy, and nothing here is investment advice.
