RIP Kabosu: Dogecoin’s Shiba Inu Mascot Dies Amidst Meme Coin Bull Run

RIP Kabosu: Dogecoin's Shiba Inu Mascot Dies Amidst Meme Coin Surge

Kabosu, the beloved Shiba Inu who became an enduring Reddit meme and the symbol of Dogecoin (DOGE), passed away on Friday at the age of 18. Her owner, Atsuko Sato, announced her peaceful death at home in Sakura, Japan, surrounded by family.

The Power of Meme Coins

Kabosu's death has garnered significant mainstream media attention, highlighting the immense popularity and influence of meme coins in the modern era. Despite the passing of former US First Lady Rosalynn Carter on November 2022, Kabosu's name garnered over twice the number of Google search results.

Dogecoin's Success and Future

Dogecoin, ranked 8th among Web3 blockchain cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, continues to hold a strong position despite being less than a decade old. Elon Musk's frequent endorsements and celebrity support have further solidified its mainstream appeal.

The Rise of Cat Coins

While the "dog days" of Dogecoin may be over, new cat coins like PopCat are gaining traction. Kai Cat Coin (KAI), currently in pre-sale, has raised a notable amount in just days from large cryptocurrency investors.
