Benzinga - Kabosu, the beloved Shiba Inu pup who inspired the creation of Dogecoin, passed away at the age of 18.

What Happened: As per an update from the X account dedicated to the legendary canine, Kabosu breathed its last early morning Japanese time. The owner said the funeral will be held on May 26 at Flower Kaori in Kotsu no Mori, Narita City.

Kabosu, who was rescued from a shelter, inspired millions around the globe and its legacy will live on forever.

Throughout its life, Kabosu made many friends, including celebrities and renowned investors. In particular, Tesla CEO Elon Musk frequently mentioned Kabosu, often acting as a mascot for Dogecoin.

Musk ultimately ignited a wave of similar dog-themed cryptocurrencies such as Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB), Dogelon Mars (CRYPTO: ELON) and the Floki (CRYPTO: FLOKI) inspired by Musk’s pet Shiba Inu “Floki”.
