Chart of the Week

Moons (MOON), the native token of Reddit’s r/CryptoCurrency community of over 6.5 million users surged last week. The Bricks (BRICK) token, which is distributed as a reward for contributions in the r/Fortnite subreddit, also rallied. Markets speculated that the recent change in Reddit’s Terms of Service, which now explicitly allows for trading of Reddit’s tokenised Community Points, was likely the catalyst for the price increases.
