DOGE meme icon Kabosu passes away at 18
Kabosu’s iconic meme led to the birth of dogecoin, the largest memecoin by market capitalization.
Kabosu, the face of dogecoin, passed away in the morning of May 24 at an estimated age of 18, its owner said in a blog post.
“Today, Kabosu, our community's shared friend and inspiration, peacefully passed, in the arms of her person,” dogecoin’s official X account wrote on Friday. “The impact this one dog has made across the world is immeasurable.”
The shiba inu’s iconic meme went viral in the early 2010s, which led to the birth of dogecoin (DOGE) in 2013. DOGE went on to become the largest memecoin by market capitalization, and inspired several other major dog-themed memecoins such as shiba inu and floki. In the past 24 hours, over $2.87 billion worth of dogecoin was traded, according to CoinMarketCap .
