Kylie Jenner’s verified X account was briefly used on August 24, 2026 to promote a freshly minted Solana memecoin called $kylie before the messages were deleted within minutes, an episode multiple outlets attributed to unauthorized access rather than a genuine endorsement. Existing reporting put the account at roughly 39.5 million followers, while other accounts described it as having more than 50 million; the posts directed users to a Pump.fun profile and the $kylie Solana contract address, drawing tens of thousands of views. SolanaFloor flagged the account as likely compromised. The token’s market capitalization surged to an all-time high of $1.21 million—other reporting cited a peak near $1.19 million—then collapsed by more than 90% to below $120,000, with BeInCrypto citing a 68% decline at an intermediate stage near $378,500. By about 11:00 UTC on August 25 the market cap stood near $167,000 across roughly 3,453 holders. Rival kylie tokens quickly appeared. CryptoBriefing, Coinfomania, BeInCrypto and BitcoinWorld covered the breach and crash. The episode mirrors a broader pattern of compromised celebrity and institutional accounts promoting short-lived Solana memecoins. Neither Jenner nor her representatives had issued a public statement at the time of reporting.
