In mid-September, a hippopotamus meme took the world by storm. The baby pygmy hippopotamus from the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand - "Moo Deng" (also known as bouncy pork balls) - has quickly become a meme in the community because of her exaggerated and exciting appearance. There was a craze on the platform, and a large number of netizens were captivated by the two-month-old dwarf hippopotamus.
But did you know that the name Bouncing Pig was chosen by popular vote, and it means minced pork in Thailand! Even her name is full of memes, but her parents' names are very common, namely Tony and Jonah. Bouncing Pig has six other brothers and sisters (one of which is also the name of the dish, called Braised Pork Moo Toon). Their family was originally well-known in the zoo, but after Bouncing Pig became famous this time, more and more people became famous. People come here to see the endangered pygmy hippopotamus family.

In addition to being used as a meme by netizens on social platforms, Bouncing Pig was even retweeted by Gmail officials on X (formerly Twitter). In addition, the British e-sports team FNATIC also followed this trend.

Memes of bouncing pigs can be found in all fields. Of course, the crypto cannot let go of this hottest topic. After all, the source of meme coins is memes. $MOODENG, a meme coin with a bouncing pig theme on the Solana blockchain, is one of the most eye-catching meme coins recently. As of today, the total market value of $MOODENG has exceeded US$250 million (approximately NT$8 billion), with the currency price falling at approximately US$0.249, and the historical high is US$0.33. According to data from the cryptocurrency information platform CoinGecko, the increase last week to 370%!

In addition, after the United States announced an interest rate cut, Bitcoin rebounded slightly, while the meme currency track saw a significant increase. Animal meme coins such as PEPE, WIF (hat dog), and BONK also rose one after another. Although the prices of the above meme coins have all corrected after the hype, they have increased significantly compared with the decline in previous months. Looking back at the past, before the cryptocurrency bull market came, meme coins were usually the first currency to rise. Therefore, many people believe that the rise of meme coins can be regarded as one of the harbingers of the bull market. However, this year we still need to consider whether the U.S. presidential election at the end of the year is really a precursor to the coming bull market or the beginning of a bubble. Let us wait and see what happens!

The meme coin was born because of the community. The $MOODENG team has agreed to donate 100% of the fees collected on the Moonshot Exchange to the Green Mountain Wildlife Park, making this meme coin not only a tool for speculation, but also a charitable meaning. This funding allows the zoo to conserve and care for the endangered pygmy hippopotamus.
However, we still have to pay attention to the fact that the nature of meme coins is that they rise and fall sharply. If you want to invest, you need to think twice and invest carefully to prevent the gain from outweighing the loss!
