Shiba Inu Shatters Bear Market Fears With Explosive Price Surge
Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) has rebounded sharply over the weekend, reaching levels not seen since May 22. The memecoin's price surged to a two-month high on Sunday, with more than $500 million worth of SHIB changing hands in the last 24 hours. This represents an 18% surge in trading volume.
The Shiba Inu account posted a cartoon on X, referencing Mark Twain's quote that 'reports of my death were greatly exaggerated.' The post also included a Forrest Gump running GIF with the caption 'Run it back, world,' in reply to a nostalgic post about SHIB's past global shilling.
Speculative activity has risen substantially, with open interest in SHIB futures surging 64% in a week, according to Coinglass. Data from CoinMarketCap indicates that SHIB was actively traded on South Korean platforms, with Upbit recording higher volume than Binance and Coinbase.
