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.
Deleted Posts Sent kylie Token Past $1 Million
The account first posted a casual message about trading, then pointed followers to a Pump.fun profile named cutekjenner. A second post carried the ticker and a contract address.

The two posts drew roughly 50,000 and 33,000 views before deletion. Community accounts flagged the abrupt tone as a sign of compromise.
The token climbed to a $1.19 million market capitalization on PumpSwap, according to GeckoTerminal data.
At press time, its market cap stood near $378,500, with $6.1 million in 24-hour trading volume. Liquidity now sits near $58,900, held by roughly 3,700 holders.
Account Hacks Keep Turning Into Meme Coin Rug Pulls
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.
The playbook mirrors recent takeovers. Attackers used the SpaceX and Starlink accounts in July to push SCATMAN, netting around $125,000.
In late July, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev’s account was compromised, and the attacker cleared roughly $1.2 million through Vladhood.
Senator Cynthia Lummis’ compromised account then promoted a fake USA token, while actor Dean Norris disowned a DEAN coin in January 2025.
