MOODENG Surges 400% as Whales Pour in Millions

The recently launched Moo Deng (MOODENG) coin has seen quite a surge in popularity – and its price – over the past week.

The Solana-based coin was launched on September 11, less than 20 days ago. It’s inspired by the super-cute Thai baby pygmy hippo named Moo Deng.

Let’s talk price.

Over the last 24 hours, MOODENG appreciated 5.8%, trading at $0.2355.

Notably, in the last week, it surged 406%.

It actually hit its all-time high of $0.3387 on September 28, falling 28% since.

With this weekly increase, it is outperforming the crypto market in general and the meme coin market in particular.

Notably, most traders buy and trade the coin on XT.COM. The most active trading pair on the exchange is MOODENG/USDT, with a trading volume of $4.2 million in the last 24 hours.

It’s 24-hour trading volume stands at $152.9 million. With a circulating supply of 990 million MOODENG, its market capitalization is $233.56 million, placing it in the 262nd place.

Notably, MOODENG made major news globally – in crypto and TradFi publications – when a trader turned a $1,300 investment into $3.4 million.

Many, however, also commented on the legitimacy of the gain and the probability of cashing it out.

And this person wasn’t the only one making major gains.

Notably, whales keep pouring in thousands – even millions – into the project.

Others weren’t as lucky, missing the opportunity to profit. Such is the way of the trade.

Note: The market is volatile and prices drop fast. Make sure to always do your research before investing and never invest more than you are prepared to lose.

Gotbit Hedge Fund and SunPump Partner to Bolster Meme Coin Space

Performance-focused market maker Gotbit Hedge Fund and SunPump, a meme coin launchpad on the TRON blockchain, have announced a collaboration to strengthen the meme coin ecosystem.

According to the press release, the partners plan to drive growth and innovation for meme coin projects.

Gotbit Hedge Fund said that it has been “a consistent supporter” of SunPump’s meme projects.

Therefore, it plans to improve market opportunities for these projects by combining its resources and market-making expertise with SunPump’s vision.

“This official partnership marks one more step in their shared commitment to expanding the meme coin space,” the duo said.

Alex Andryunin, Founder and CEO of Gotbit Hedge Fund, commented that a “fascinating” trend we are now observing is the memecoin sector “taking on a life of its own.” It is growing separately from the broader crypto market.

“Multiple chains are now positioning themselves for the next surge, drawing in new waves of retail investors, becoming hotspots of meme token activity, and signaling many exciting launches ahead,” said the CEO.

Andryunin said this collaboration will contribute to this transformation.

“Working together, we will do our part in building a sustainable meme coin environment that can thrive for a long time to come,” he added.

Arthur Hayes Buys PEPE, MOG, PONKE

Billionaire Arthur Hayes, the former CEO of BitMEX, recently announced that he is building his meme coin portfolio, asking for subscribers’ suggestions on what to invest in.

He noted that ‘UPtober’ is on its way – a month of the bullish crypto market.

So far, said the co-founder, he has invested or is interested in MOTHER, MOG, and PEPE.

Not long after that post, he announced he had purchased some MOG.

According to Lookonchain, Hayes bought 24.39 billion PEPE on the crypto exchange Binance, investing approximately $252,680 into the coin.

Following this, on September 28, he announced another purchase, saying he added PONKE to the list.

The coins generally tend to rise on the news that a well-known figure has invested in the project – at least initially.

PEPE has dropped around 1% over the past 24 hours, but it is up 36.5% in a week. Indeed, it recorded increases on September 26 and 27.

MOG, too, is down nearly 1% in a day but is up 30% in a week, while PONKE appreciated nearly 8% in 24 hours and 14% in seven days.

Celebrity Iggy Azalea’s MOTHER increased by 0.5% and 59% in the same timeframes, respectively.

This is not to say that the increases were solely the result of Hayes’ investment. After all, many other meme coins have recorded rises as well.

However, his participation may have been a factor to some degree.
