Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently the only other memecoin available to trade on the big four exchanges that still operate legally in South Korea — Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone and Korbit.
Korbit has the opportunity to list new tokens paired with the Korean won, as it was one of the few exchanges in Korea to have come into full compliance by Sept. 24 with new rules designed to combat money laundering.
SHIB is one of the most popular memecoins on the market today, behind only DOGE. Both are among the top 15 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Inspired by DOGE, SHIB itself has many copycat coins across several chains. In total, there are over 19 cryptos with “Shiba” in their names.
