Users of the Reddit subreddit r/CryptoCurrency saw a significant increase in the value of their native token, r/CryptoCurrency Moons (MOON), on Monday after hearing rumors that Kraken, a cryptocurrency exchange, could list Moons. According to CMC, the token’s price increased by 72 percent in the last 24 hours, bringing it to $0.28 at the time of writing.
Reddit Moons are awarded to people for their contributions to the r/CryptoCurrency community. Tip exchanges between users are also possible. Users save their Moons in their Vault, Reddit’s Ethereum-based digital wallet that was released to the community at large in 2022.
A popular thread on the cryptocurrency-centric subreddit linked to an unauthorized Twitter account called r/CryptoCurrency Moons, which claimed Reddit has recently modified its policy on selling digital assets. Some of the excitement, though, was unwarranted.
