Shiba Inu jumps 36% in a day driven by South Korean traders without clear news catalyst

Shiba Inu's price surged about 36% to $0.0000057, adding roughly $1 billion in market value in a single day without any new announcements or developments. The rally was mainly fueled 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 the move is specific to SHIB rather than a general meme coin rally. Despite liquidations of short positions following the price increase, these were not the cause of the rally. Shiba Inu, launched in 2020 as a meme coin, has since developed a layer-2 network called Shibarium but still largely trades on retail sentiment rather than fundamental developments.
