The meme coin Shiba Inu (SHIB) has witnessed an unexpected price surge following a notable increase in its burn rate. Data from the Shibburn wallet tracking service reveals that the burn rate has spiked by over 340% within the last 24 hours. This surge came after the community burned 11,080,178 SHIB tokens.
Decrease in SHIB Supply
This week’s largest burn involved the elimination of a total of 10,007,448 SHIB tokens. Currently, the total amount of SHIB burned from the initial supply has reached approximately 410.7 trillion. Despite a significant drop in daily transaction numbers on the Shibarium blockchain from 5,430 to 3,810, there has been no major change overall.
ShibTorch and Rising Burn Rates
Following the introduction of the ShibTorch Portal, there has been a remarkable increase in SHIB’s burn rate. After the announcement, the burn rate surged by an impressive 1250%, resulting in the destruction of a total of 28,648,321 SHIB tokens. On August 30th, the burn rate increased by more than 13,900%, leading to the destruction of 96,634,993 SHIB tokens. Analysts predict that if the burn rate continues to rise, the value of SHIB could reach $0.001.
The price of Shiba Inu is influenced by its burn rate and transaction activities on the blockchain. Investors believe that this burn mechanism could positively impact the price. Current fundamental and technical improvements may support potential future price increases for SHIB.
The ongoing burn rates and price movements of Shiba Inu continue to attract investor attention. SHIB aims to balance its value gains with the burn rate during this period. Monitoring future price movements will be crucial for assessing SHIB’s long-term success.
