In a short time, meme coin MOODENG managed to gather more than 18,760 holders and has an impressive market capitalization of more than $190 million. 

Its daily trading volume also reaches more than $85 million, indicating high liquidity. 

MOODENG's success is proven by the success stories of several investors who managed to reap large profits in a short time without selling MOODENG beforehand.

MOODENG Developer's Commitment to Animal Welfare

One of MOODENG's advantages is that there is no transaction tax, both when buying and selling tokens. 

Apart from that, the MOODENG development team is also committed to donating all profits from MOODENG trading on the Moonshot application to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo, where Moo Deng lives. 

This commitment shows the development team's concern for animal conservation and the welfare of Moo Deng.

Beware of Fraud

Even though it has promising potential, MOODENG also faces challenges such as the emergence of many imitation versions. 

This makes it difficult for potential investors to distinguish the original MOODENG from the fake version. 

Therefore, it is very important for potential investors to conduct in-depth research before deciding to invest in MOODENG.

Final Note

Currently, there are several versions of the MOODENG token on various blockchain networks such as Solana, Ethereum, and Base. 

Even though all these tokens refer to the same animal, namely the Moo Deng baby pygmy hippo that is currently going viral, it is important for potential investors to be careful in their choice.

The crypto world is no stranger to the memecoin phenomenon, such as DOGE and PEPE. MOODENG also has the potential to follow in their footsteps of success. 

However, it should be remembered that Moo Deng's popularity also attracts the attention of other parties who may try to take advantage of his big name. 

Therefore, the zoo where Moo Deng lives has taken steps to protect the trademark "Moo Deng the hippo" from being misused.
