As momentum builds massively among SHIB futures traders, data from CoinGlass shows that Shiba Inu has surged by over 26% in its open interest over the last 24 hours.

Following this explosive increase, the amount of tokens committed to active contracts over the past day has surged past the 12 trillion mark, now sitting around 12.24 trillion SHIB, worth over $75 million, per SHIB’s current price.
