Unaffiliated Pitcoin Meme Tokens Surge After Rapper’s Album Announcement
Meme coins named after Pitbull’s upcoming album Pitcoin rallied about 100% in a day, with the most active token recording $583,231 in volume, despite no official endorsement from the artist.
Meme tokens that borrow the name of Pitbull’s forthcoming album "Pitcoin" experienced a sharp rally, roughly doubling in price within a single day. The most active token logged $583,231 in daily trading volume.
Rally Details and Trading Platforms
The leading Pitcoin token operates on Solana and launched its pool on August 12, the same day Billboard reported the album title. It trades on PumpSwap, holds $54,387 in liquidity, and its daily volume is about fourteen times higher than the next busiest Pitcoin pool.
A newer version of the token resides in a Uniswap V4 pool on Robinhood’s chain, rising 207% in under seven hours and carrying a valuation of $35,475.
Proliferation of Copycat Tokens
Dozens of tokens now trade under the Pitcoin name, most with market capitalizations below $3,000. These tokens have no endorsement from Pitbull or his label, even though the rapper promoted the album on X, drawing over 115,000 views.
Historical Context of Meme Coin Replication
The pattern mirrors previous meme‑coin spikes, such as rapid token launches after Elon Musk’s Dogefather post in February 2025 and the Gork tokens that surged after Musk changed his X display name in May 2025. Similar dynamics occurred with Ye’s YZY tokens.
