Pitbull album branding sparks PITCOIN meme-token rally above 100%

Pitbull’s promotion of his upcoming 14th studio album, Pitcoin, triggered speculative trading in multiple unaffiliated meme coins using the same name. Billboard first reported the album title on August 12, and Pitbull later posted gold-coin artwork bearing his likeness and the word "PITCOIN" on X, directing fans to music-platform pre-save pages. Several tokens appeared on Pump.fun, a Solana-based meme-coin platform, and none has a recorded connection to Pitbull, born Armando Christian Pérez, Mr. 305 Records, or the album. DEXScreener data showed the leading version at approximately $241,000 in market capitalization, more than $615,000 in 24-hour volume and gains exceeding 100% in one day; an earlier trading snapshot reported $583,231 in daily volume, $54,387 in liquidity and roughly 100% gains. A newer PITCOIN version in a Uniswap V4 pool on Robinhood’s chain rose 207% in under seven hours to a $35,475 valuation, while most of dozens of copycats remained below $3,000 in market value. The album remains a conventional music release scheduled for October 8 or 9, or early October, and Pitbull and his team have not indicated any cryptocurrency endorsement. The episode highlights how celebrity branding can prompt rapid token creation, speculative buying, rug-pull risks, insider activity, volatility and potential losses for retail investors.
