The crypto sector, that is presently valued at $2.05 trillion (roughly Rs. 1,72,11,513 crore), is rife with over 2.4 million cryptocurrencies in circulation with more entering every day. In the memecoin category, a new entrant named ‘Dogs Coin' is the latest to stir up a buzz. Interestingly, Telegram, the messaging app, is serving as the launchpad for the Dogs Coin token, allowing its global userbase of over 800 million to engage with the new memecoin.

Dogs Coin on Telegram

Dogs Coin is part of a new game on the Mini Apps marketplace on Telegram, named Dogs. The game lets Telegram users play on the app and collect Dogs Coin. The ecosystem of this game and this memecoin went live on July 9.

The token has been fashioned as a tribute to ‘Spotty', the unofficial mascot of Russian social networking firm vKontakte (VK), which was also founded by Telegram founder Pavel Durov in 2006. Durov is also the brains behind the Ton blockchain, the first link between Telegram and Web3.

Community Reacts to Dogs

The official handle of the Dogs community on X has reached 2.5 million followers. In conversation with Gadgets360, Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, lauded projects like the Dogs Coin.

“Launching new projects like Dogs Token highlights the ongoing innovation and growth in the cryptocurrency space,” Thakral said. He also, however, noted, that the community needed to analyse the utility of memecoins like Dogs Coin as its adoption curve played out over time.

Indian crypto exchange KuCoin has already listed Dogs Coin on its pre-market list.
