From Ballard's backyard to blockchain
A compact, oddly shaped raccoon wandering around Seattle's Ballard neighborhood has unexpectedly become one of the most unlikely stars on the Internet.
On July 14, Kiana Hall saw the raccoon emerging from under a parked car near Ballard Goodwill Sold Shop, so she took a video and uploaded it online., and named it "Jimisy".
In just a few days, this video received millions of views on major social media platforms.
This raccoon's unique appearance stems from a suspected disease. Experts believe Gemosi suffers from a rare "short spine syndrome" that gives him an unusually compact body shape. This condition causes the spine to shorten and limits mobility of the neck and body, giving Jimosi's unique appearance. However, the veterinarian pointed out that since the animal had not yet been physically examined, the diagnosis was still unofficially confirmed.
Despite the deformity, Jimosi appears to be healthy and active, and it has been witnessed multiple times in the Balad area in recent weeks.
This cultural craze has long surpassed social media. Artist Andrew Miller painted a mural of Jimussy behind Ballard Clay Studio after witnessing the entire neighborhood embrace the unexpected star. A Seattle city councilman plans to file a formal "Summer of Jimussy" proclamation on July 26, and the University of Washington also awarded the raccoon an honorary "Dr. Jimussy" degree.
$JiMOTHY Minin Trading
$JIMOTHY, a Solana memo coin named after the popular Seattle raccoon, surged 186% in 24 hours, and as of writing, its market value on Pump.fun was close to $12.6 million.
Anonymous developers launched the token this week, and traders flocked to Solana within hours of its launch. Pump.fun's official account forwarded the token on the X platform, promoting it to a wider trading audience.
The single-day transaction volume of $JiMOTHY exceeds US$36 million, which is a large number for a token of the same size. However, the token is well below its historical high. It fell back after its market value approached $22.7 million, a reminder that the rise and fall of memoin depends entirely on the attention cycle.
Financial experts warned that the memin's rally may not last until the end of the news cycle. Standard risk warnings apply. This article does not constitute investment advice.
