DOGE Meme Creator Clarifies: CATE Token Unrelated to Me, Only Endorses DOG and COCORO Projects
July 28th, Doge meme Shiba Inu Kabosu's owner Atsuko Sato posted a message to clarify that a series of CATE tokens circulating in the market recently have no association with her. She stated that she had only posted a story on Instagram before, but the content was later unauthorizedly exploited by others to issue fake tokens, creating a false impression of association with her. She expressed regret about this and pointed out that some accounts involved in spreading the related information even include users with significant influence on the X platform.
She emphasized that the only project currently officially authorized by her and responsible for managing her intellectual property is Own The Doge. She introduced that Own The Doge acquired Doge NFT in 2021 and launched the DOG token, while also being responsible for hosting Doge Day events, supporting charity, and managing her intellectual property. In 2025, the two parties also collaborated to launch the COCORO token on the Base network.
She stated that the proceeds from the above projects will be used to take care of her pet family members and support animal protection charity activities carried out by withkabosu. She urged the public to rely on officially released information and to remain vigilant against any unauthorized projects or tokens issued in her name, avoiding believing in cryptocurrency projects unrelated to her.
