Dogecoin’s (CRYPTO: DOGE) official X account celebrated St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday with a fun post featuring its Shiba Inu mascot decked out in green.
Canines In Festive Mood
The X post showed an adorable Shiba Inu dressed up as a leprechaun, a supernatural being from Irish folklore. The dog is sitting over a pot overflowing with gold coins with the Dogecoin logo.
“Much gold, very lucky,” the post read, symbolizes luck and prosperity.
Other memecoin ecosystems joined the celebration as well.
Floki (CRYPTO: FLOKI) wrote, “Celebrating luck, community, and the journey… with FLOKI at the heart of it,” quoting a post by Elon Musk showing three dogs adorned in green leprechaun hats.
It’s worth noting that Floki draws its name from Musk’s Shiba Inu, and a dog in the picture could well be that one.
Bonk (CRYPTO: BONK) shared an animated video showing the BONK dog mascot as a leprechaun dancing on a pot of gold.
“Happy St. Patrick's Day from The Dog. Hope you're wearing green today,” Bonk wished its community.
Bonk’s price surged 7.42% in the past 24 hours, capturing the festive mood, while Floki and Dogecoin dipped in sync with the broader market pullback.
