Meme coins named after Pitbull's upcoming album Pitcoin rallied roughly 100% today, with the busiest token logging $583,231 in daily volume.
The rapper promoted the project on X. None of the tokens trading under the Pitcoin name carry any endorsement from him or his label.
Pitbull Minted a Title, Someone Else Minted the Token
Billboard first reported the album title on August 12. Pitbull, born Armando Christian Pérez, releases Pitcoin in early October.
Trading data shows the leading PITCOIN token's Solana (SOL) pool went live on August 12. That places its creation on the same day Billboard published the album title.

A newer version in a Uniswap V4 pool on Robinhood's chain rose 207% in under seven hours. It carries a $35,475 valuation.
Most copycats stayed small. Dozens of tokens now trade under the Pitcoin name, and most hold market caps below $3,000.
Pitbull's post drew 115,500 views and directed fans to a pre-save page.

Copycat Tokens Follow a Familiar Pattern
Copycat meme coins rallies follow a familiar script. Elon Musk posted a Dogefather image in February 2025. Developers launched fresh Dogefather coins within hours. Moreover, two tokens using that name jumped 122% and 137%.
The pattern repeats whenever a name goes viral. Musk changed his X display name to Gorklon Rust in May 2025, and new Gork tokens spiked as much as 7,000%.
Ye faced the same problem before releasing YZY. He warned followers in February 2025 that every coin using his brand was fake. The rapper then launched the YZY coin in August last year.
