On December 26, news reported that Vitalik posted on X: "I am very happy to become the adoptive father of Moo Deng. Over the next two years, she will grow up, and I will donate 10 million baht to support her, and perhaps I will donate more, as I have reserved 88 ETH for Moo Deng and her relatives. May they live long and healthy lives." Previously, it was reported that Vitalik donated 10 million baht to the Khao Kheow Zoo in Thailand to develop a dedicated exhibit for Moo Deng.
