Dog-themed meme coins are on the rise, with a DOGE memorial event planned in May for the 1st anniversary of Kabosu, the original DOGE dog. FLOKI crypto and BONK are both up significantly in April.

Atsuko Sato, the owner of Kabosu, announced on Sunday (April 27) her plans to host a DOGE Memorial Event in Japan during May. Many major dog-themed meme coins have been performing well in April as investors’ appetite for meme coins surges.

FLOKI Crypto Up 6% Overnight - Leading The Way For Major Dog Coins

FLOKI has been on a tear in April, having surged 50% in the last two weeks alone. It is up 6% overnight as meme coins, particularly dog-themed meme coins, are beginning to heat up once again.

Everyone’s favorite indicator in 2025, the M2 Global Liquidity tool, overlaid onto the FLOKI chart, shows a 4x pump could be on the cards this year.

It is a super strong community-backed meme coin that has existed since 2021. With the market turning green once again, it is well-positioned to be a top performer heading into the bull market. Once Bitcoin breaks through $100k, all bets are off, as liquidity will continue to flow back into risk-on markets.

One thing to note for FLOKI is the sell wall built up on exchanges. It is currently trading for $0.000084, and the order books show a huge sell wall from here until around $0.00011. If FLOKI can break through the sell wall, with demand outweighing the sells, it will have a free run to roughly $0.00015.

FLOKI had an insane 2024, one of the standout performers for the year. It hit an all-time high of $0.0003 in June 2024, giving it a market cap of over $3 billion. At current prices, its market cap is at $817 million, meaning a 3.5x increase will be required to revisit those 2024 highs.

“We will be holding a small event to celebrate the 1st anniversary of Kabosu's passing. The event will be held in May at a cafe in Shibuya, Tokyo.”

The event will feature a photo exhibition of Kabosu's life, and guests will be able to purchase limited-edition Kabosu merchandise. There will also be a special menu of Kabosu-themed food and drinks available for purchase.

Kabosu was a Shiba Inu dog who became a viral sensation in 2013 when her photo was used to create the DOGE meme. The meme was a hit on the image board 4chan, and it quickly spread to other social media platforms.

The meme was so popular that it led to the creation of the DOGE cryptocurrency, which is still one of the largest and most well-known cryptocurrencies today.

Sadly, Kabosu passed away on December 2, 2023, at the age of 17. However, her legacy will live on through her meme, her cryptocurrency, and the upcoming memorial event.

BONK Up Huge In April And On The Verge Of A Massive Breakout

BONK crypto is up nearly 75% in the past 30 days, making it the top-performing major cap meme coin this month. Even with CoinGecko showing BONK down 5% in the past 24 hours, it comes amid a powerful week that has seen its market cap increase from $1 billion to over $1.5 billion.

Currently trading at $0.000019, BONK has just broken above a critical trendline. As long as it can hold above these current levels, a breakout will be imminent.

This dog-themed meme coin has undergone a real resurgence this month after launching it ‘LetsBonk’ meme coin launchpad late last week. Similar to Pump.fun, Let’s Bonk allows users to launch meme coins for a minimal fee in seconds.

It has garnered much attention, pulling users away from Pump.fun and Raydium’s LaunchLab with its new offering. This attention has converted into bullish price action for the BONK token itself.

BONK has seen a spike in volume alongside its price over the last week. In the past 24 hours alone, it has only processed $400m in trading volume.

In November 2024, BONK hit its all-time high of $0.000053, which gave it a market cap of over $4 billion. At its current price, BON
