Another Devin Haney Disaster as Boxer’s Crypto Confession Goes Terribly Wrong

It’s only been a few days since Devin Haney found himself under fire—this time, from Rolando Romero, the outspoken fighter who may soon face Ryan Garcia in the ring. In a recent interview with The Schmo, Romero didn’t hold back when discussing Haney’s recent performance against Garcia. “Garcia did something good for the sport of boxing. He beat the s–t out of Devin, and that was good for the sport of boxing,” the Las Vegas native stated bluntly.

Now, with all eyes on Haney ahead of his potential fight against Jose Ramirez—set to be part of the same card as Garcia’s—Haney is again being dragged through the mud on the internet. And this time around, it’s not about his boxing skills. It’s about a post he shared earlier today. ‘The Dream’ announced an update about his cryptocurrency ventures. What was supposed to be a moment of triumph quickly turned into a disaster, as his announcement was met with heavy backlash from fans.

Devin Haney’s crypto tweet goes viral.

Devin Haney took to X earlier today to announce his latest milestone, writing, “Purchased my first car using only Crypto.. stay tuned for the reveal. Time to start driving my Crypto Gains.”

At first glance, the post might appear as a celebration of Haney’s success in the cryptocurrency space. After all, many people have been taking to crypto investments, and buying something or other. However, what might have been a celebratory announcement left fans scratching their heads. It’s unclear if Haney genuinely meant to share a positive update, or if he was mocking the recent drama surrounding Ryan Garcia’s crypto-related issues.

Just a few days ago, Stephen Findeisen a.k.a “Coffeezilla” exposed a cryptocurrency controversy involving KingRy. The boxer had launched a meme coin called $RYAN. It claimed that 40% of its supply would go to charity. However, the coin lost over 90% of its value which led Garcia to get rid of the post immediately. Many fans reacted with disappointment and confusion, while others were curious whether it was a result of a hack. The same scrutiny now seems to be falling on Haney. The question now is: what are fans really thinking?

Fans react with mixed feelings on Haney’s crypto gains

As expected, reactions to Haney’s post came in fast, with a mix of skepticism, confusion, and sarcasm. One of the first responses was short but telling: “lol what?” A simple yet effective way to express pure disbelief. It was clear that the user couldn’t quite wrap their head around what the San Francisco native had just announced.

Another person took a more light-hearted approach, commenting, “Your next fight bro… drive into the boxing arena, like on some WWE s–t as your entrance.” This user suggested an over-the-top move. Something that would probably come off as more cringe-worthy than cool. Then came the blunt response: “A–“. It is safe to say that some fans don’t mince words and this user wasn’t buying the tea.

Another commenter offered their assistance in a more humorous tone, writing, “If you need help learning how to drive, I’ll teach you, bro.” This playful jab suggested that ‘The Dream’ was showing off his crypto gains in a way that felt out of touch. Another user sarcastically remarked, “Devin Haney showing off his crypto gains.” 

The final reaction came in the form of a question: “Rental?” This commenter raised an interesting point, questioning whether Haney’s car was even his or if he was simply renting it for a flashy photo-op. Given the increasing skepticism surrounding celebrity crypto endorsements, it wouldn’t be surprising if fans were quick to dismiss Haney’s post as nothing more than a staged performance.

So, what do you think? Is Haney’s crypto success worth celebrating, or is it another misstep in a growing series of controversial moments? Do you think celebrities should be promoting cryptocurrencies, or is it better to keep that part of their lives private? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
