The Hippo-themed meme coin Moo Deng (MOODENG) has experienced a surge of over 76% in the past 24 hours. This surge comes after leading US crypto exchange Coinbase announced the addition of MOODENG to its listing roadmap.
Coinbase's announcement was made via a blog post on December 2nd. The post indicated that tokens added to the listing roadmap may not necessarily be listed on Coinbase.
MOODENG is the third meme coin to be added to Coinbase's listing roadmap in recent times, following Dogwifhat (WIF) and Pepe (PEPE) in November. Both WIF and PEPE have experienced significant price increases since Coinbase's announcement. WIF has increased by 55% in the last 30 days, while PEPE has seen a surge of over 148%.
Speculation is rife regarding which meme coins will be the next to join Coinbase's listing roster. Strong contenders include Pepe Unchained (PEPU) and Catslap (SLAP). PEPU has raised over $66.4 million in presale and has received indications from major exchanges that they may welcome it after its launch on December 13th. SLAP has gained popularity since its launch, with a surge of over 120% in the last two weeks. A recent purchase of $500k worth of SLAP tokens by a Chicago-based whale has further fueled speculation of a potential Coinbase or Binance listing.
In other developments, the Catslap team has announced plans to incorporate a play-to-earn (P2E) element into its popular slapping game. This move has drawn comparisons to Hamster Kombat's successful viral clicker game, which boasts a market cap of over $269 million.
