Shiba Inu Price Surges 36% on South Korean Trading Frenzy
Shiba Inu's price surged by 36% in a single day to $0.0000057, adding around $1 billion to its market value without any new announcements or developments.
The rally was primarily driven by South Korean traders on the Upbit exchange, where the SHIB/KRW trading pair accounts for over 10% of global volume and trades at a slight premium.
This surge is notable because other dog-themed tokens like Dogecoin only gained modestly, indicating that the move is specific to Shiba Inu rather than a general meme coin rally.
