A captivating image featuring a dog adorned with a hat, iconic to the Dogwifhat meme cryptocurrency, is now available for acquisition as an NFT, priced at $25,000. The canine, which has become emblematic of the Dogwifhat (WIF) meme currency, is represented in a celebrated photograph now up for grabs in the form of a digital collectible.
Originally named Chi-Chi, the dog was later renamed Achi. This notable image, serving as the emblem for the Dogwifhat meme currency, was reportedly snapped just two months following Achi’s birth on November 17, 2018.
The snapshot, showing Achi donning a charming hat, was taken by Achi’s owners and swiftly became a viral sensation, endearing itself to millions worldwide as the “wif” meme.
This NFT auction has been active on the Foundation platform for several days, drawing significant interest from the cryptocurrency community on March 15, as bids soared to remarkable heights. Enthusiasts are now eager to invest multiple Ethereum (ETH) tokens for this unique portrayal of Achi in a pink hat.
As of the latest update, the auction’s highest bid stands at 6,942 ETH, translating to over $25,600 at the current exchange rate.
In a related development earlier in March, the Dogwifhat project’s followers successfully gathered over $703,000 to feature the WIF meme coin’s canine mascot on the display at the MSG Sphere entertainment venue in Las Vegas. According to reports from the Wif-sphere platform, the fundraising initiative surpassed $300,000 within its initial 24 hours, eventually exceeding the $700,000 mark.
The buzz surrounding WIF has persisted for several months, driven by a surge in its price and market valuation. Since its debut in the latter part of the previous year, WIF has ascended to become the fourth-largest meme coin in terms of market capitalization. This fervor is intermittently boosted by accounts of traders making substantial profits from their modest investments in the token.
