In a heartfelt homage to the original meme that ignited a cryptocurrency revolution, the Shiba Inu (SHIB) community has paid tribute to the iconic Dogecoin meme, following the passing of Kabosu. The Shiba Inu dog, whose endearing and quizzical expression became synonymous with Dogecoin and broader meme culture, passed away at the age of 18. Kabosu’s image not only inspired Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and other dog-themed cryptocurrencies but also embodied the playful and joyous spirit of the cryptocurrency community.

As news of Kabosu’s passing spread, tributes poured in from around the world. The SHIB community joined in to honor the legacy of the dog that started it all. Acknowledging Kabosu’s impact on the internet and cryptocurrency spheres, the official Shiba Inu X account posted: "Today, the internet loses a legend. Thank you, Kabosu, for inspiring a generation of meme-makers and dog lovers. Run free across the rainbow bridge."

The tribute from the Shiba Inu community transcends mere celebration of a meme; it recognizes the shared journey of innovation and community building that Kabosu inspired. In a show of respect and solidarity, SHIB community members flooded social media with tributes, celebrating the joy that the Doge meme brought to countless people.

In another message, the Shiba Inu community extended congratulations to the Ethereum community on the approval of Ethereum ETFs. On Thursday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved applications from Nasdaq, CBOE, and NYSE to list exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to Ethereum's price, potentially enabling trading later this year.

"Congrats to our frens Ethereum. The approval of ETH ETFs is a huge win for crypto. For the shibarmy, it paves the way for greater financial inclusion. Together, we're not just part of the change, we're driving it," the official Shiba Inu X handle posted.

These dual tributes highlight the interconnectedness of the cryptocurrency communities and their collective efforts towards innovation and inclusivity. While commemorating Kabosu’s legacy, the Shiba Inu community also celebrates a significant milestone for the broader crypto world, underscoring their role in shaping the future of digital finance.
