Celsius token CEL rises 300% in one week amid a GameStop-like 'short squeeze' event
The price of CEL, the native token of Celsius Network, has almost quadrupled since June 19 in what appears to be a frenzy stirred up by day traders.CEL's price rose from $0.67 on June 19 to $1.59 on June 21, a 180% spike compared to the crypto market's 12.37% rise in the same period.
