Bobo

Bobo the Bear first appeared on 4chan's /biz/ board in 2018, designed in the style of Apu Apustaja and Pepe the Frog but as a bear — the personification of bearish markets, bad trades, and portfolio destruction. The name "Bobo" was chosen by the community in June 2018 and has been used across CT, Reddit, and 4chan ever since, with over 40,000 mentions. What makes the BOBO token special is that it was launched by rekt_tekashi, the OG meme artist who actually created Bobo and has been producing Bobo content since 2018. This made it one of the first meme coins where the original creator of the meme was also the project lead — giving it a legitimacy that most meme coins can't claim. rekt_tekashi kept creating content through the entire bear market, building loyalty. The token hit a $230 million market cap, and the Bobo Council NFT collection (2,222 pieces) extended the ecosystem. Notable holders included major $PEPE whales, sparking rotation theories between the two. Bobo sits firmly in the "Pepeverse" — the interconnected ecosystem of 4chan-origin meme coins that includes PEPE, WOJAK, MUMU, and others.
