Kylie Jenner's X account was reportedly hacked and used to promote a meme coin called kylie. The token's market capitalization peaked at nearly $1.19 million before falling by roughly 68%.
The posts no longer appear on the account, which has 39.5 million followers. Several other kylie tokens are now trading on the Solana (SOL) network, each only a few hours old.

The deleted posts left a trail of imitators behind them. Traders have minted a cluster of rival Kylie-themed tokens on Solana, most of them worth very little.
One rival kylie token, carrying the same profile image, reached a $1.04 million market cap on $6.72 million in trading volume. Others sit between $29,800 and $370,300. None had traded for longer than seven hours at the time of writing.

Senator Cynthia Lummis' compromised account then promoted a fake USA token, while actor Dean Norris disowned a DEAN coin in January 2025.
