BaoBaoSol, a new meme coin seemingly inspired by the red panda-themed token, and Moo Deng, the recently launched hippo-themed token, have defied mainstream market conditions by posting triple-digit gains.

Meme coin market value is at 50.8 billion dollars.
Although little is known about the BaoBaoSol meme coin, Moo Deng is making waves in the digital currency world.
The coin, inspired by a pygmy hippo born at a zoo in Thailand last summer, has experienced a significant rise in recent weeks.
Latest price action
Last month saw a remarkable rise in Moo Deng’s value, reaching a record high of $0.3495, sending weekly gains over 700%.
Crypto enthusiasts wasted little time in capitalizing on the baby hippo going viral, creating Moo Deng-related memes, videos and challenges.
The popularity coincided with the coin boom, driven by a low entry price and an influx of new buyers due to the hope of keeping up with the next wave of big-meme coins.
Community-led growth and caution
The Moo Deng community played an important role in price movements.
Unlike other meme coins that rely on celebrity endorsements or major stock exchanges, Moo Deng’s growth has been almost entirely organic and through grassroots participation.
Despite the recent rise, crypto analysts are warning investors about the volatility of meme coins. See below.
