Andrew Tate shared plans to launch a crypto coin backed with $100M of his own money, but later claimed that it was just a joke.

Over the last few years, controversial influencer Andrew Tate has shared many of his opinions about things going on across social media and the internet.

One of the big topics he’s talked about is crypto, having previously mentioned how much of a dislike he has for blockchain technology as a whole.

On February 1, 2024, Andrew Tate shared plans to launch a custom crypto coin despite his previous thoughts — but quickly claimed that it was a joke.

Andrew Tate says crypto launch plan was a joke

In the now-deleted tweet, Andrew Tate said that if he launches a crypto token backed by $100M of his own money, he would let his subscribers get in early at a discount.

Tate said that because he’s the “most famous man alive,” he’ll promote it everywhere so that people could make money off of the project.

It was quickly reshared by YouTube investigator Coffeezilla, who also included a screenshot of Tate saying in 2023 that he does not endorse “sh*tcoins” and is not a scammer.

“Andrew Tate is launching a crypto scamcoin. Last year: “I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANY CRYPTO… I don’t need to rob my fans,” Coffeezilla said.

Andrew Tate was quick to respond to the YouTuber, making claims that he was just joking.

“Imagine being such a great detective you can’t detect a joke. DNG,” he said in his response.

It’s unknown whether or not Tate has any plans to launch a $100M-backed crypto coin, but we’ll keep you updated if he does.
