Kabosu, the Iconic Doge Meme Star, Introduces New Pet and $COCORO Token Hits $86M Market Cap

In an exciting turn of events, the legendary Shiba Inu Kabosu, who became the face of the global Doge meme, has added a new member to her family.

Kabosu introduced her followers to Cocoro, a 10-year-old rescue dog who now has a home in Japan with Kabosu and her human companions.

From Doge to Cocoro: A New Chapter for Kabosu

On March 8, Cocoro, Kabosu’s new pet, came to social media. Cocoro is a kitten, and with her and Kabosu’s dog, the two now inhabit a “feline-friendly dog home” in Tokyo. Cocoro is also a kind of “token” that Kabosu is using to introduce her followers into a new cryptocurrency. Kabosu-issued $COCORO tokens are not yet an asset that you can purchase or trade on any cryptocurrency exchanges. But followers of Kabosu and the broader crypto-community are enthusiastic to see what their pet would next do after being assigned a kind of “status”.

“It may seem suspect after the hack, but this is genuine,” Kabosu noted in her post. “Today, we in the family welcome a new addition—an almost 10-year-old rescue dog by the name of Cocoro, like our Neiro-chan, another pet in our household, a family of furry friends, led by Kabosu the doge mom. Neiro’s previous finishing school was the vet’s office, where he lived with his staff before coming to Kabosu. This is not his first day in the house.

Cocoro, now officially part of Kabosu’s family, is said to be a rescue dog. There’s an extra drop of sentiment when one hears that. The simple reason: Rescue dogs symbolize second chances and the importance of adopting animals in need of homes. And why wouldn’t the meme dog support adopting a dog? It’s kind of the dog-donation world level of a thumbs-up.

$COCORO Token’s Meteoric Rise

The announcement came just as the $COCORO token was being launched. This token, which is based on the Base network, has seen an impressive and rapid rise since its debut. The latest data has it pegged at a market cap of over $86 million—no small feat for a token that just got underway. In fact, the trading volume has surged past $40 million, and this is equated with the token’s strong push in a new direction that has investors and traders alike tagging it as a compelling opportunity.

The $COCORO token seems to be holding on to the coattails of its famous canine precursor, Dogecoin ($DOGE), which is also associated with the Shiba Inu breed. Launched as an internet joke, Dogecoin has grown into a widely adopted and recognized cryptocurrency, thanks in part to its endorsements from A-list personalities like Elon Musk. In light of Kabosu’s iconic status in the meme coin community, the $COCORO token is drawing interest as the next potential way for digital artists to meme their way into the public’s imagination.

Even though $COCORO is new to the world of cryptocurrency, it has performed strongly in the market. This may be due to the fact that investors are very excited about its association with the Doge meme and the cultural influence that Kabosu has enjoyed for so long. In any case, the token’s unexpected jump in market cap and trading volume speaks to the growing blending of memes, social media culture, and cryptocurrency, something that has been increasingly prominent in recent years.

$NEIRO Takes a Hit While $COCORO Gains Traction

The launch of $COCORO has generated a lot of excitement. However, other tokens in Kabosu’s ecosystem appear to be having some difficulties. The $NEIRO token, which is yet another cryptocurrency associated with Kabosu’s pets, plummeted 18% in the last 24 hours, taking its market cap down to $103 million. This is a pretty significant drop in value given all the recent hype around the $COCORO launch.

What remains to be seen is whether the success of $COCORO will positively or negatively impact the long-term performance of $NEIRO. However, right now, the new token is in the spotlight, and investors are continuing to flock to it in the wake of Kabosu’s announcement.

A New Era for Meme Coins and Pet-Inspired Tokens

Kabosu’s choice to bring a new pet into her life and to unveil the $COCORO token makes clear that the pet-inspired cryptocurrency trend is a newly emerged, rapidly proliferating genre. Launched recently, $COCORO has already shown the power of community and social media.

The meme coin market is still shifting and moving, but it looks like there’s a new wave coming, with Kabosu’s latest pet, Cocoro, accompanying the $COCORO token into that space. Whether or not $COCORO achieves any of the success that Dogecoin or other iconic meme tokens have enjoyed, it already looks like it’s well on its way to becoming a hit among Kabosu enthusiasts and like-minded crypto fans. An attention-grabber even before its launch, the $COCORO token had fans clamoring for them at the ready to finally be able to rock Kabosu’s iconic look.

As we advance, everyone’s gaze will be fixed on $COCORO to watch whether it can keep its steady bearing in the twisty world of cryptocurrency, particularly after the ups and downs we’ve seen of late with other pet-themed tokens like $NEIRO. One thing’s for sure: the meme coin ecosystem is far from finished with Kabosu’s influence.
