Reddit Points Just Went on a 45% Gain Spree—Who Knew Internet Karma Had Real Value?

by

So, Reddit Points decided to stop lurking in the shadows and went full diva mode with a >45% spike on Sunday. Why? Because some fancy New York investment firm, Totem Point Management LLC, dropped about $1.273 million on them last quarter. Seems like even Wall Street’s catching the Reddit bug—who would’ve thought?

This sudden glow-up isn’t just about Reddit growing bigger and bolder—it’s about their shiny new, blockchain-based Community Points system. Basically, Reddit’s karma went from “meh” to “I can actually sell this stuff?”

Forget the old “karma” where you felt like a good Samaritan for internet points that mean absolutely nothing outside your keyboard. These new Points actually belong to you! You can stash them in crypto wallets, tip your favorite meme lord, unlock exclusive memberships, and even trade them for… well, who knows what, but it sounds fancy. Communities like r/CryptoCurrency are totally into their “Moons” token. Check out the seven-day trend below, or pretend to because we all know charts aren’t everyone’s jam.

And don’t forget about r/FortNiteBR—because nothing says “serious investment” like a community built on a video game famous for dance moves and chaotic shotgun fights:

All of this frenzy isn’t happening in a vacuum. Crypto markets have been getting some serious love lately from institutions thinking, “Hey, maybe this blockchain stuff is more than just digital magic beans.” Plus, Reddit just took itself public, which probably convinced investors to hop on this rollercoaster.

Investors are eyeing Community Points like they’re the next sleeper hit—like veggie chips or that one band you liked before everyone else did. The idea? These tokens could transform how creators and fans engage in what’s quickly becoming the digital jungle gym of the creator economy. So buckle up, internet points are leveling up.
