My Crypto Culture Spotlight Entry: YEEZY Coin to Be listed

Hey Steemians

So @sndbox have asked us to find cool references on how cryptocurrency is seeping its way into popular culture. Since we often feel like the crypto space is one designed for outcasts and misfits in their little corner of the internet and yes It used to be that way.

However, our enthusiasm and value cannot be denied for long and the world is starting to take note. Cryptocurrency is starting to make inroads into mainstream pop culture with movies like those mentioned in @marinauzelac post

High fashion meets blockchain with Yeezycoin

I did some digging and I happened to come across a pretty strange crypto-culutre crossover in the listing of Yeezy coin. Yeezy is a highly-sought after collectable sneaker, made by Adidas’s the YEEZY shoes has already attracted a large community of investor-collectors.

Now an exchange called 55 Global markets plans to list tokens representing limited-edition, premium-brand merchandise. As a person who owns the series of sneakers, you can also apply to become an issuer and add his tokens to the 55 Global Markets ecosystem

The exchange has also revealed that it will list the world’s first premium-brand merchandise token, the YEEZY, on 55.com, and offer users the ability to trade under the YEEZY/USDT trading pair.

Kanye loves crypto, just kidding!

This is not the first time they've tried to create the world of Crypto and Kanye West have crossed paths back in 2004 a few cheeky devs decided to create Coinye West the release of the coin came complete with a cartoon version Kanye’s face on its logo and a currency “mining” program called “Gold Digger,” which its safe to assume was inspired by West’s 2005 smash hit.
