Shiba Inu's price surged by a significant 36% in just one day, adding approximately $1 billion to its market capitalization. This impressive jump was mainly driven by massive buying activity from South Korean traders on Upbit, with over $62 million invested in the token.

The SHIB/KRW pair traded at a premium, indicating strong local demand for Shiba Inu. This rally also led to around $6 million in short positions being liquidated, further intensifying the price increase.

Despite the substantial surge, Shiba Inu's price remains far below its 2021 peak, highlighting the influence of regional retail trading on global crypto markets.
