Improper reports circulate online that Jeffy Yu, founder of the Small-Cap Crypto project Zerebro, perhaps took his own life during a live stream on Pump.Fun on 4 May.
The video Circulating on X seems to show that you smoke a cigarette before he shoots himself in the neck. Although the images have been shared on a large scale, the authenticity of the video does not continue to be confirmed at the moment.
On the day of his alleged death, yu published A philosophical and technical manifesto that introduced the concept of legacoins – a term he devised to represent a new category of memecoins rooted in sustainability, inheritance and symbolic immortality.
Yu defined legacoins as:
“An evolution of digital assets that are usually called memecoins … based on a voluntary commitment by the developers … to strictly acquire this assets and never sell or trade.”
In the core, the Legacoin work states that developers build and collect, never speculate or sell. Holdings are locked at the death of a holder, creating an unchanging floor for the price of the token.
“I am the permanent floor,” Yu wrote.
Yu too launched The token lljeffy on the same day, which is apparently the first legacoin.
Yu’s X account has been since then deletedBut some in the community were skeptical. A user pointed out that Yu had previously stated that a new Zerebro album would be released on 30 May and suggested that the incident could be part of a planned marketing stunt.
“Even if his X account has now been removed, don’t forget that he has told us that the New Zerebro album is coming on May 30. This fake suicide is only part of the marketing. The Zerebro pump will be short and massive,” the after read.
On May 6, however, the Legacy’s death transition platform published A message stating that Jeffy Yu died on May 4 at the age of 22, who apparently confirms the reports of his death.
In the meantime, Zerebro -Token acts around $ 0.04, an increase of 85% in the past month because it moves a wider wave of win over the AI -Crypto sector.
