House of Doge, a company with a notable association with the Dogecoin community, and its US subsidiary are set to remove 'Doge' from their corporate names. This decision comes after the termination of their exclusive licensing agreement with the Dogecoin Foundation.

The change must be completed by December 31, 2023, according to Cryptopolitan. The move signifies a shift in the relationship between commercial entities and the Dogecoin Foundation, which may have broader implications for brand identity and market perception.

While the news could have potential impacts on the perception of Dogecoin-related businesses, the market reaction has been muted so far. The price of DOGE has shown a slight increase of 0.80% over the past 24 hours, despite the 7-day decline of 3.10%.

The broader cryptocurrency market remains relatively stable, with a total market cap of $2.76 trillion. Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has seen a modest 0.19% increase in the last 24 hours, while the overall market sentiment, as measured by the Fear & Greed Index, is neutral at 50.
