Inspired by a real-life baby hippo named Moodeng, who resides at Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi, Thailand, the memecoin has captured the hearts of traders and zoo visitors alike.

Moodeng’s playful antics have attracted massive crowds to the zoo, resulting in a surge of visitors and generating approximately 12 million baht ($360,000 USD) in revenue within the first three weeks of September. Due to the overwhelming popularity, the zoo has implemented timed viewing sessions and even launched a 24-hour live stream of the adorable hippo.

This Trader Makes Massive $392K From $MOODENG Trade

For one smart trader, $MOODENG has proven to be a massive opportunity. This trader entered the memecoin at a $70,000 market cap and made a jaw-dropping $392,200 as $MOODENG rocketed to a $207 million market cap. However, in hindsight, this trader’s profits could have been even more monumental.

After purchasing 19.4 million $MOODENG for just 1.5 $SOL ($203.5) and selling for 7.64 $SOL ($1,039), the trader secured a 4x return. Yet, had they held on longer, their profits would have ballooned to an eye-watering $2.65 million, a more than 13,000x return.
