$COCORO Token Hits $100M FDV After Doge's Mom Adopts New Rescue Pup

The crypto community is abuzz with excitement as Atsuko Sato, aka Doge's mom, has adopted a new rescue pup named Cocoro. This adorable black Shiba Inu has not only captured the hearts of fans worldwide but also inspired the creation of an official COCORO token, which has already reached a staggering $100 million in fully diluted valuation (FDV) within less than an hour of its launch.

But what led to this remarkable feat? It all began when Sato announced that she had adopted Cocoro, a name inspired by the Japanese word "kokoro," meaning "heart." She shared a photo of her new furry friend on social media, accompanied by a heartfelt message expressing her gratitude for the opportunity to welcome Cocoro into her family.

However, what makes this adoption even more significant is that Sato has partnered with her community partner, Own The Doge (OTD), to create an official COCORO token. This marks a departure from her previous experiences, where she had faced unauthorized use of her dogs' images to launch tokens without her permission.

"In the past, anonymous people have used my pets' likeness to launch tokens," Sato wrote on her website. "This time, I have given my blessing to my supportive community at Own The Doge, who I have previously worked with extensively, to create an official Cocoro token."

The COCORO token was launched on Base and has been met with enthusiasm from the crypto community. According to GeckoTerminal data, the token reached $100 million in FDV in a matter of minutes.

The Token: A Fair and Community-Driven Project

Own The Doge disclosed that 5% of the tokens are locked in a liquidity pool, with claimable fees split between the DAO and Atsuko Sato. To prevent initial price manipulation, the pool launched with a $1 million fully diluted valuation.

"We are delighted to welcome the latest member of Atsuko's family, Cocoro!" Own The Doge tweeted. "With Atsuko's blessing, OTD is launching $Cocoro. The launch is intended to defend against unofficial, extractive deployments, while being as fair as possible and benefitting Atsuko's existing supporters."

20% of the tokens are dedicated to airdrops for existing DOG and Neiro token holders, while a 5% DAO reserve provides funding for future development and community initiatives.

A Tribute to Kabosu: The Beloved Shiba Inu

Kabosu, the iconic Shiba Inu who inspired the Dogecoin meme and captured the hearts of the internet, passed away last May at the age of 18 after a battle with leukemia and liver disease. The crypto community mourned her loss deeply, with tributes pouring in from prominent figures like Elon Musk and Vitalik Buterin.

Dogecoin itself saw a temporary price surge as a touching tribute to the dog that inspired it. Sato's love for Kabosu was evident in every tweet, post, and photo she shared, and her dedication to her pets is still felt today.

A New Chapter for Atsuko and Cocoro

As Atsuko looks forward to welcoming Cocoro into her family, she expressed her gratitude to her community partner, Own The Doge. "I absolutely refuse to let my images be used without permission to make money! That is my strong will. If it is so useful that it can be hacked, then I thought I would create a token with people I trust and use it to protect children and animals around the world!"

With Cocoro by her side, Atsuko is poised to embark on a new chapter in her life as a dog mom, dedicated to spreading love, kindness, and the importance of animal welfare. The COCORO token is more than just a project; it's a testament to the power of community, trust, and the unbreakable bond between humans and animals.
