Jotchua (JOTCHUA) is a meme coin on the [[Solana]] blockchain launched through [[pump.fun]] in June 2026. It is based on Jotchua, the golden retriever puppy from a 2021 Mexican Facebook adoption post whose cropped photo became one of the defining pets of Spanish speaking internet culture.

## Origin

The source image comes from a Facebook post offering two puppies for adoption in Mexico. One of them was cropped out and recirculated endlessly, gaining the nickname "Perro Dinero" (money dog) along with the folk belief that setting him as a profile picture brings wealth, plus the affectionate names "Esquizo" and "Jotchua," a phonetic spelling of Joshua. The meme had been tokenized before, and several Jotchua tokens circulated from 2025 onward, but the June 2026 pump.fun launch under the @JotchuaTheMeme banner became the canonical chart during the summer animal rotation.

## Market history

The token graduated in the first week of June 2026 and then produced the move it is known for: on June 9, 2026 KuCoin's news desk reported the coin up more than 100x within a single day, crossing a 5.7 million dollar market capitalization. Bitrue subsequently listed it on its Alpha venue and published research on the meme's history. Like most single spike charts it bled afterward, and as of mid August 2026 JOTCHUA trades at a market capitalization of about 1 million dollars per DexScreener, with steady residual volume.

## Community story

Jotchua's pitch writes itself: a dog the internet already believes brings money. The community, organized around the X account and a Telegram under the "money dog" branding, campaigns to "bring back animal meta" and treats the profile picture superstition as the token's utility. CT taxonomies of the period filed it with the established character coins, memes with a life outside crypto, rather than with original mascots, and its Latin American meme base gave it an unusually international holder story for a pump.fun coin.

## Current status

As of mid August 2026 the coin still trades daily with an active community, well below the June peak, one of many mid 2026 animal coins holding a residual base after the rotation moved on.
