Recently, Vitalik Buterin adopted Moo Deng, a pygmy hippo. Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, pledged 88 Ether ($292,000) to Thailand's Khao Kheow Open Zoo. Moo Deng became an internet star in September 2024 due to her charming videos and expressive personality.
Buterin’s Generous Contribution
The zoo announced the adoption on December 26. Buterin expressed his happiness in becoming Moo Deng’s adoptive father. He hinted at possibly donating more in the future. He already set aside 88 Ether for Moo Deng and her friends.
This generous act shows Buterin’s dedication to animal welfare and the crypto community. Buterin’s philanthropy extends beyond Moo Deng. In October, he donated over $180,000 in ETH to Kanro, a biotech charity.
These donations were in the form of Moo Deng memecoins. Buterin’s ongoing support for various causes highlights his commitment to making a positive impact.
Moo Deng’s Influence in Crypto

Buterin’s adoption of Moo Deng reflects the connection between technology and compassion. His ongoing support for various initiatives shows a broader commitment to making the world a better place, one donation at a time.
