Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus said on X that he was “a Shiba Inu” after a conversation about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s resignation. Markus, who uses the name Shibetoshi Nakamoto on X, later added that “Billy is a Shiba Inu with glasses.” His comments referred to Dogecoin’s playful origins as a cryptocurrency launched in December 2013 by Markus and Jackson Palmer, whose identity is closely tied to the “doge” meme inspired by Kabosu, a Japanese Shiba Inu that died in 2024. At the time of writing, Dogecoin was down 0.93 % over 24 hours at $0.0659 and had lost 7 % over the week as crypto markets declined. Leveraged liquidations surged 150 % to $1.4 billion, including $1.16 billion in longs and $245 million in shorts.
