Solana-based meme coin Moo Deng (MOODENG) has surged nearly 100% in the past 24 hours. The token is, of course, inspired by the female pygmy hippopotamus Moo Deng that has recently become a sensation on the internet.
Khao Kheow Zoo, a large zoo in Sriracha, Thailand, has gained global fame thanks to 31-year-old zookeeper Atthapon Nundee. For years, he has posted pictures of his zoo's adorable animals on social media. This year, his moment finally came early, thanks to Moo Deng.

The chubby two-month-old hippo has become so famous that there are long lines in front of the zoo. Meme coin enthusiasts naturally decided to use this token to take advantage of the new meme sensation. One trader managed to turn $800 into millions by buying meme coins. Some people think that this trader is an insider.

It remains to be seen whether this upstart meme coin inspired by a baby hippopotamus can challenge some of the market leaders. After its recent price surge, its market cap is already approaching the $250 million mark. Some experts expect the meme coin to be little more than a flash in the pan, like some rival celebrity meme coins that managed to make an impressive entry into the car market in early summer only to eventually lose the vast majority of their value. Of course, the future of this meme coin will depend on whether Moo Deng can maintain its popularity after it recently surpassed Ethereum on Google Trends. In comparison, Fiona, a common hippopotamus at the Cincinnati Zoo, also became an Internet sensation in 2017. It continues to attract visitors, according to the New York Times.#HMSTR开盘 #美国二季度核心PCE符合预期
