<p>FLOKI’s tribute focused on Kabosu’s legacy and the community’s “Do Only Good Everyday” motto. Its image showed two Shiba Inus beside a sign identifying Nov. 2, 2026, as International Doge Day.</p>
<p>“One Shiba Inu. A legendary meme. A legacy that brings people together across the world,” the project <a href="https://x.com/FLOKI/status/2117214385936441716" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">wrote</a>.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.ava-fit.com/experience/0067aae6-df88-4f40-80fe-b28513380ee1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">event listing</a> for this year’s celebration identified Sakura Furusato Square in Sakura City, Japan, as the venue, with free admission and scheduled appearances by Kabosu’s owner, Atsuko Sato, the city’s mayor, and Own The Doge representatives.</p>
<p>Organized by Own The Doge and Sato, the annual occasion falls on Kabosu’s birthday. The venue houses the bronze memorial unveiled in her honor on Nov. 2, 2023.</p>
<p>In October 2023, crypto.news covered the <a href="https://crypto.news/dogecoins-dog-statue-to-be-installed-in-japan-at-beginning-of-november/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">community’s statue campaign</a>, which raised more than $42,000 in cryptocurrency donations within its first 72 hours.</p>
<p>The Dogecoin Foundation’s subsequent <a href="https://foundation.dogecoin.com/blog/2024-05-24-kabosu-obituary/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">memorial statement</a> put the fundraising total at nearly $100,000. Kabosu died on May 24, 2024, aged 18.</p>
<p>Sato, a kindergarten teacher living in Sakura, adopted Kabosu after she was rescued from a puppy mill. According to the Foundation, Sato used the attention surrounding her dog to promote animal rescue and adoption.</p>
<p>Kabosu’s expression became central to the Doge meme, whose popularity helped inspire Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer to create Dogecoin in December 2013. The Foundation describes the cryptocurrency’s early use as a playful way for social media users to send small amounts to one another.</p>

<p>CoinGecko data showed DOGE trading near $0.07371 during reporting, down approximately 2.1% over 24 hours and 4.4% over seven days.</p>
<p>Its market capitalization stood around $11.5 billion, placing it 12th among cryptocurrencies on the tracker. Daily trading volume was approximately $367 million.</p>
<p>Against CoinGecko’s recorded all-time high of $0.7316, DOGE remained almost 90% lower. A return to $0.10 from $0.07371 would require a gain of roughly 35.7%.</p>
<p>The celebration posts from DogeOS and FLOKI contained no specific DOGE price forecasts, focusing instead on Kabosu, community participation and the meme’s legacy.</p>

<p>Beyond the anniversary messages, Dogecoin’s development businesses have undergone a recent reorganization.</p>
<p>The October <a href="https://crypto.news/dogecoin-labs-mydoge-dogeos-such-payments/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Dogecoin Labs announcement</a> outlined plans to bring MyDoge, DogeOS and Such App together, combining wallet distribution, application development and merchant payment tools.</p>
<p>House of Doge said the Foundation designated Labs as its official commercial partner. Jordan Jefferson leads the organization, with MyDoge and DogeOS co-founder Alex Lewis and Foundation director Tim Stebbing involved.</p>
<p>DogeOS had opened its <a href="https://crypto.news/dogeos-opens-public-testnet-with-doge-fees/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">public developer testnet</a> on Sept. 30, allowing teams to work on Ethereum-compatible applications using DOGE for transaction fees. Its launch announcements described trading, lending, stablecoin, and gaming projects under development.</p>
<p>MoonPay separately <a href="https://www.moonpay.com/newsroom/moonpay-houseofdoge" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced native DOGE support</a> across its network of more than 6,000 merchants in June. It said businesses could receive settlement in fiat currencies or stablecoins.</p>

<p>The filing records an agreement to transfer Such App assets to Dogecoin Labs in exchange for shares valued at $4 million. The transaction remained unclosed when disclosed, with lender consents and asset transfers among its conditions.</p>
<p>Under the terminated commercial agreement, House of Doge and its US subsidiary agreed to change their corporate names and stop using the Foundation’s “Official Corporate Arm” or “Official Commercial Partner” designations before Dec. 31, 2026.</p>
