Maye Musk to Launch Memecoin ‘MAYECOIN’ – Crypto World Reels at Surprise Entry

In an announcement that has stunned both the cryptocurrency and fashion industries, Maye Musk — supermodel, dietitian, and mother of tech magnate Elon Musk — revealed today that she will be launching her very own cryptocurrency: MAYECOIN, For charity.

The 76-year-old icon, known for her elegance, intellect, and unapologetic presence in the fashion world, made the announcement during a surprise keynote at the Women in Web3 Summit held in New York City. Dressed in a silver jumpsuit and flanked by two AI-generated holograms of herself, Musk addressed a packed crowd of influencers, developers, and blockchain evangelists.

“I’ve been watching all these boys play with their digital coins,” she said with a wink. “It’s time for a woman to launch a memecoin — one with style, substance, and a whole lot of sass. Welcome to the era of MAYECOIN.”

Unlike most memecoins, which are often created as jokes or social experiments, Maye claims that MAYECOIN will blend humor with empowerment. A portion of the coin’s profits will go toward funding scholarships for women in tech and nutrition, two fields in which Musk holds degrees and lifelong passion.

According to the official whitepaper, released minutes after the announcement, MAYECOIN is described as “a meme-based currency built on the Ethereum blockchain with a philanthropic twist.” Tokenomics include deflationary mechanisms, staking options for “Maye Club” members, and an NFT integration called the “Silver Fox Collection,” which features AI art inspired by Musk’s modeling career.

“Why should memecoins only benefit crypto bros?” Musk said on stage. “Let’s have one that helps grandmothers buy Ethereum and pays for girls to learn Python.”

The crypto community erupted in a frenzy following the news. On X (formerly Twitter), hashtags like #MAYECOIN, #MotherOfCrypto, and #MILFcoin (which Musk cheekily acknowledged but declined to adopt officially) quickly began trending.

Unlike the typical chaotic energy of most memecoins, MAYECOIN is intentionally designed to embody sophistication and maturity. Its logo features a minimalist sketch of Maye herself, elegantly sipping champagne while wearing a space helmet—an homage to her son’s interplanetary ambitions. “We wanted to symbolize the intersection of grace and galactic vision,” said Annabelle Wu, MAYECOIN’s creative director.

According to the whitepaper, it will operate on the Ethereum blockchain and incorporate carbon offset protocols and community-driven philanthropic features. Ten percent of every transaction will be directed toward a foundation funding education for young women in tech and fashion.

At a press conference held at a high-end vegan brunch cafe in Santa Monica, Musk—wearing a silk pantsuit and NFT earrings—stood before a gold-framed Doge meme and introduced MAYECOIN to the world.

Critics were quick to label MAYECOIN as another celebrity cash grab — until they saw the traction it gained in under 24 hours. Over 400,000 people joined the official Discord server, and the project’s Telegram channel crashed multiple times due to overload. Airdrop signups surpassed 1.3 million by mid-afternoon.

Interestingly, many early adopters were women aged 40+, a demographic largely underrepresented in crypto. One Twitter user, @CryptoMomNY, wrote, “I finally feel like there's a coin made for me. Maye's a badass, and I'm here for it.”

What’s Next for MAYECOIN?

Musk announced that the first phase of the token rollout, dubbed the “Soft Silk Launch,” will begin on May 15. It will include a public presale, celebrity AMA appearances (including rumored cameos from Grimes and Kimbal Musk), and exclusive NFT giveaways.

When asked if she saw MAYECOIN competing with Dogecoin or Shiba Inu, Musk laughed: “I’m not here to compete. I’m here to glow. But if they want a challenge… I never back down.”

Whether MAYECOIN will become a cultural moment or a blockchain bust remains to be seen, but one thing is clear — Maye Musk is not done rewriting the rules. From fashion runways to crypto highways, she continues to surprise the world. And this time, she’s doing it with her own coin.

So much wow. Very Maye. Much coin.
