TL;DR
Shiba Inu – one of the most popular memecoins and the second biggest by market capitalization after Dogecoin (DOGE) – continues to see a significant amount of assets removed from its circulating supply.
According to recent data, the burn rate has exploded by almost 52,000% in the past 24 hours, resulting in 12.4 million tokens sent to an address that nobody could access
Shiba Inu has a tremendous maximum supply of 999,982,443,841,584 assets. However, more than 40% of those have already been destroyed
The team behind the memecoin project has adopted the program in an attempt to make SHIB more scarce and potentially more valuable in time. Despite its recent decline, the coin’s price has spiked by 10% in the past 30 days (per CoinGecko’s data)
Another factor that might benefit the price of Shiba Inu is the further development of the layer-2 blockchain solution – Shibarium. The network has blasted through multiple milestones since its official launch in August.
Most recently, the number of total transactionssurpassedthe 4 million mark. In addition, Shibarium’s total blocks are close to 1.8 million, whereas wallet addresses exceeded 1.2 million
