The listing includes trading pairs with KRW, BTC, and USDT, with trading starting at 17:00 KST. The exchange emphasized verifying the Solana network for deposits, warning that unsupported networks may occur in failed transactions.

After the news of listing, Moo Deng prices suddenly elevated over 32% and now it’s seen to be acquiring the pace of 50%, and in just a few hours, the market capitalization of the token grew from $165 million to over $200 million, but is now below this mark.

Also, its listing on Binance occurred in June this year, which has helped to find a path towards a greater price.

According to an X post from Wu Blockchain dated July 03, 2025, “ South Korea’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit, is set to list MOODENG with KRW, BTC, and USDT trading pairs. MOODENG is a meme coin on the Solana network themed around a pygmy hippopotamus born at Thailand’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo.”

Will Moo Deng join the $1 trading price club among memecoins?

The yearly chart of Moo Deng reveals significant volatility, typical of high-interest memecoins. After reaching an all-time high of around $0.70 in late 2024, the token entered a prolonged descending channel, correcting over 85% by March 2025.

This is followed by a long period of low volume sideways momentum, forming what appears to be an accumulation base between $0.05 and $0.10

In May this year, Moo Deng broke out of this range with explosive volume, rallying back above $0.30 before pulling back, indicating a bullish breakout and potential bottom correction.

When writing, Moo Deng seems to be forming a cup and handle pattern, which is termed a classic bullish continuation setup. The price retested the $0.30 range and is now consolidating around $0.20 with increasing volume, suggesting that bulls are slowly regaining control.

The identified support levels of Moo Deng lie around $0.13 and $0.17, the immediate resistance stands near $0.26 and then $0.33. If it breaks above resistance with strong volume, the next psychological target is $0.50, followed by a possible attempt at the $1 milestone.

Until publishing, the MACD line is above the signal line, showing bullish momentum. If buying pressure continues and retail hype picks up, it could enter fresh price discovery.
