In May 2024, Kabosu — the Shiba Inu behind the Doge meme that launched an entire meme coin category — passed away. Her owner adopted a new dog named Neiro. Crypto Twitter moved fast, and multiple $NEIRO tokens launched across different chains. A lowercase "neiro" version on Ethereum gained the most traction due to community dynamics and a CZ endorsement suggesting lowercase tickers were more "fair launch." It got listed on Binance and hit $1 billion market cap. The token represents the passing of the torch — from the original Doge era to whatever comes next. It also sparked debates about ticker casing, community ownership, and the ethics of commodifying a pet owner's grieving process.
