The listing provided a much-needed boost to the wider memecoin ecosystem, with GOAT experiencing a 9% move to the upside, while PNUT rose by 6% during a 10-minute period following the listing.

It's worth noting that memecoins are volatile by nature as they have no intrinsic value; they rise and fall rapidly based solely on trader sentiment on a backdrop of minimal liquidity. Market depth for MOODENG on OKX, which offers the most liquid trading pair, is still relatively thin with just $81,000 in resting orders 2% to the upside. Market depth is a metric that assess liquidity by aggregating all orders between set parameters, 2% in this case.
