American hip-hop star Kanye West (Ye) has shown interest in virtual assets (cryptocurrency) and is reportedly attempting to contact Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase.

On the 7th (local time), West revealed a message on his X account requesting "information from a virtual asset industry insider without intermediaries." In response, the other party said, "I will provide the contact information of Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase."

The virtual asset industry is paying attention to the possibility of West issuing his own meme coin. The decentralized prediction market platform Polymarket has raised the probability of West launching a meme coin to 46%, up from the previous estimate. On this day, a bet worth $52,000 was placed on Polymarket regarding the possibility of West launching a meme coin.

Meanwhile, West previously disclosed on his X account that he rejected a cryptocurrency scam proposal. He stated, "Someone suggested that I issue a fake meme coin and deceive the community to make $2 million," adding, "I rejected the proposal and cut off contact with that person."
