Over the course of 48 hours, a staggering 52 million SHIB tokens were consigned to the flames, igniting discussions and speculations among investors worldwide.
This isn't an isolated event. An unknown Shiba Inu investor who burned 1 billion SHIB earlier this week has incinerated another 1 billion tokens, bringing their total monthly burns to 3 billion. This follows a period of heightened burn activity across the Shiba Inu ecosystem. The Shiba Inu ecosystem, in a stunning surge, incinerated nearly 31 million SHIB tokens in just 24 hours yesterday, sending the daily burn rate skyrocketing over 1,300%.
Massive Burn Rates and Community Response
The recent burns have led to dramatic increases in the overall burn rate. Shiba Inu’s burn rate has surged by nearly 254,000%, with 5.64 billion SHIB tokens removed from circulation. Meme coin Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) has seen a massive 7,400% increase in its weekly burn rate, with around 2 billion tokens being destroyed. This significant increase highlights the community's commitment to reducing the circulating supply.
The Shiba Inu burn rate skyrocketed recently after an unknown user burned 1,000,000,000 SHIB tokens. Data from Shibburn shows that this user sent these tokens to the dead wallet, effectively removing them from circulation forever.
Is Security a Concern?
While the burns are generally viewed positively, SHIB security advocate Susbarium issued a caution, likely related to the concentration of burns coming from a single, unknown source. It's crucial to remain vigilant about potential vulnerabilities and malicious actors within the crypto space.
