Kanye West takes a U-Turn: Enters the NFT world
It seems like the American rapper, record producer, and fashion designer Ye, commonly known as Kanye West, has a change of heart. He has filed for 17 new trademark applications for his YEEZUS nickname, with a hint at the potential launch of a new NFT collection.
Kanye West enters the NFT world
Josh Gerben, the trademark attorney and Gerben Perrott founder, confirmed the news on Twitter. The trademark application indicates Kanye West's intention to obtain approval for the launch of "blockchain-based non-fungible assets," "currencies and tokens," and "online retail store services featuring digital art."The filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) reveal only nominal and basic descriptions of the products that West plans to launch in the coming days. There are no details about the types of NFTs and Metaverse experience the rapper is planning for his fans.
Kanye West's move comes when several well-known musicians have already jumped into the NFT arena. In August last year, Eminem, the 15-time Grammy Award winner, invested in NFT platform MakersPlace.
In February 2022, Golden Globe winner John Legend founded the "OurSong" NFT platform for musicians and entertainers. The musician, who also works as the project's Chief Impact Officer, believed it would benefit artists who are just starting in the music industry.
A sharp U-Turn
One of the most influential personalities in the music industry, Kanye West, used to express a tough stance toward the concept of NFTs. In late January, he blasted out on Instagram that he is committed to creating "real world" things and urged fans to stop asking him "to do NFTs."[caption id="attachment_218556" align="alignnone" width="666"]

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
