Reddit's native token, MOON (MOON), has seen an impressive triple-digit price gain, surging 500% from 9 cents to nearly 45 cents. This remarkable rally comes in the wake of Reddit's recent changes in its terms of service, prompting speculation as to the driving force behind the token's meteoric rise.
Data reveals the significant price surge of MOON, a cryptocurrency associated with the r/CryptoCurrency subreddit, boasting a community of over 6.5 million users. The token can be found listed on SushiSwap, Gate.io, and MEXC, further cementing its presence in the crypto market.
What sets MOON apart from many other tokens is its unique distribution method. MOON is a ERC-20 token awarded as rewards to users for their contributions, such as posts and comments, within the r/CryptoCurrency community. These tokens hold real value, being freely tradable, tipped, or spent within the community for various purposes. Additionally, users can securely store their tokens in Reddit's Ethereum-based wallet, known as the Vault.
As the speculation surrounding potential changes to Reddit's platform intensified, both MOON and its fellow native token soared. Coingecko's co-founder and COO, Booby Ong, points out that the buzz surrounding Reddit's impending changes played a crucial role in driving the tokens' prices higher.
