The inclusion of a new futures contract for the meme coin could attract more investors interested in quick trades.
This Friday (25), the meme coin Moo Deng (MOODENG), created on the Solana blockchain, experienced a 90% appreciation. This significant jump in value occurred after Binance launched a new trading option for the token: perpetual contracts.
