Donut

Reddit

Polygon

Two cryptocurrencies affiliated with Reddit communities increased more than 15% in 24 hours.&nbsp; 
Investors speculated on Donut (DONUT) and Moons (MOONS) as the social media platform launched its long-awaited initial public offering (IPO), causing the tokens to see double-digit price increases on March 21.&nbsp; 
DONUT is an ERC-20 token issued on Ethereum (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ETH</a>) by the ethtrader forum. Participants receive the crypto as monthly rewards for contribution to the community. Eligibility depends on upvotes gathered by published content. Per CoinMarketCap, the token gained over 28% on Reddit’s IPO news.&nbsp;
