<p>Meme Index ($MEMEX) is nearing $4 million in presale, drawing investors seeking a safer way to invest in meme coins.</p><p>Meanwhile, American rapper Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) is stirring confusion in the crypto space with the launch of a meme coin – only to later deny any involvement. Despite this, the situation has already raised concerns that it could be yet another rug pull.</p><p>Investor frustration is mounting as high-profile figures continue to exploit their influence for quick profits, casting doubt on the legitimacy of the meme coin sector.</p><p>The Meme Index safeguards against such scams by diversifying risk across a broad basket of tokens while allowing investors to choose which meme coins to include in their index.</p><p>Access to these indexes is exclusive to $MEMEX holders, whose numbers are rising as investors rush to buy at the current presale price of $0.0164896 before the subsequent price increase in less than 17 hours.</p><h2 id="h-just-when-you-thought-ye-couldn-t-surprise-you-he-jumps-into-crypto-or-does-he" class="wp-block-heading">Rapper Ye Creates Media Circus Over Possible Meme Coin Launch</h2><p>Since last week, the controversial rapper Ye has claimed he plans to launch a token called YZY, named after his clothing brand Yeezy.</p><p>However, the rollout has been chaotic, with erratic X posts involving Binance CEO CZ, a string of racist remarks, and even a self-proclaimed Nazi stance. At one point, Ye even teased launching “Swasticoin.”&nbsp;</p><p>He later claimed he no longer controlled his Twitter account and deleted previous posts about launching a meme coin altogether.</p><p>The entire spectacle has turned into a media circus, with speculation over whether Ye will actually launch a token. This uncertainty even sparked a Polymarket bet, where 40% of the $22 million volume is wagering that he will release a coin this month.</p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfVHfRUgt4XP4xfFw82QG_YUXQk8rnSGCcvEFJ91qn2mEDVJZlgXHXds9h0riqyoHTITKL8mf3Bj_Irdov2KlsN2gAIPF6A0ylL1OBta9iEs7txDnnNlUC0fGnIl72iadujsTDX?key=sYn5ODXLoDXzIuWymfS0WW1f" alt=""></figure><p><a href="https://polymarket.com/event/will-kanye-launch-a-coin-in-february" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Will Kanye launch a coin in February?</a></p><p>If Ye does launch his own token, he will be entering a market already flooded with celebrities who have leveraged their fame for quick crypto profits – most of which experience short-lived price spikes before crashing.</p><p>Reports suggest that Ye plans to mimic $TRUMP’s tokenomics, aiming to retain 80% control of the supply – a setup many investors already see as a rug pull in the making. Still, some traders are hoping to “get in early” and cash out quickly, as summed up by a hilarious meme circulating on Reddit.</p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdXbyepfBMKoxvX7PZmmOdPvk1vh7rRDfT2t-lMrsh0gu_4OYQ5YUoxVhN_O1Web1jAPgazaNqThdvP4kyhAfjzmSqKlEgMzIbO8MZdfALrRbeRxFxOJfY3fNp1_rQ1GR4ZkhXUPA?key=sYn5ODXLoDXzIuWymfS0WW1f" alt=""></figure><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/solana/comments/1ivzsll/everyone_when_they_heard_about_the_kanye_west/?rdt=45521" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Everyone when they heard about the Kanye West meme coin : r/solana</a></p><p>Yet, for many – especially those burned by Argentina President Javier Milei’s scam token, Libra ($LIBRA) – Ye’s potential launch feels like yet another celebrity-backed cash grab that will leave a lasting stain on the market.</p><h2 id="h-bringing-stability-to-the-wild-west-of-meme-coins-meme-index" class="wp-block-heading">Meme Index Brings Sanity To The Wild West World Of Meme Coins</h2><p>For meme coins to regain a $100 billion market cap, the industry must curb shameless money grabs by high-profile figures.</p><p>The unregulated nature of meme coin launches allows anyone to create a token without legal consequences.
